The tale of Scylla lives on in mythological legend. Homer narrated the passage of Ulysses’ ship between monstrous Scylla and voracious Charybdis.
Scilla, pearl of the Mediterranean, is a seaside resort which extends along the coast of Calabria, between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the slopes of Aspromonte. Chianalea, a fishing village, is the quaint section of the town where homes are bathed by the sea. Divided by the castle of the Ruffo di Calabria, the two areas create a unique and unforgettable sight.
