Pizzo is a one of the nicest little cities in the middle of Calabrian western coast. We stopped for few hours on the way to Capo Vaticano. You can find the parking in the old part of the city, the best is small parking at Castello Aragonese, just 100m from the main square, Piazza della Repubblica (pay the ticket as the have regular control). From the main square, you can take beautiful photos of Pizzo beach, there are lots of restaurants and ice cream shops have a nice meal and a Tartufo at the end. Pizzo is the place where Tartufo ice cream was born. They have many types, all are great, but the best was the Pistacchio. From the square, you can also have a nice walk through the narrow streets with lots of shops. We also did a city tour with »tuk-tuk«, the famous Piaggio Scooter. It cost 15€ per tour (cca 15 minutes), you go down to the beach and around the city back to the old town. It is nice and fun. If you want an English guidance ask for Giovanni (he drives blue scooter), he is very kind and speaks fluent English.

Among the main historical and cultural testimonies of the Poro promontory, a very rare architectural jewel stands out, located on a ridge in the valley of the Malopara stream, facing south-east with an altitude between 515 and 430 m above sea level. It is the Rupestrian settlement of the "Sbariati" in Zungri, a real village entirely excavated in the sandstone rock, whose origin, in reality, remains unknown, although it is assumed to exist as early as the Middle Ages and not excluding the part older still awaits to come to light. Made with great technical and functional mastery and an ingenious use of natural resources, the site shows visitors many caves, designed for the use of residential and production activities, sources, efficient management of water resources and a complex internal road network - consisting of stairs and paths - and external, which connects the settlement to the plain above. At the entrance is the Museo della Civilta Contadina
