This little gem is well worth the few stairs down to the beach and up to the sanctuary. The church and its terrace are free; For the rooftop terrace and the gardens a little (2 Euros p.p.) admission fee is charged. Very nice views from the terraces and the garden. The city view is best in the late afternoon. Also nice after dusk.

This town is absolutely beautiful with stunning views of Calabria. We enjoyed the town after a little bit of a stressful drive. Driving the streets will never get "easy" but once we arrived at the top of the look-out, it was all worth it. It was pretty fun having to jump into doorways to get out of the way of oncoming cars.

We visited both the original and the new cathedral on a sunny October day. Grounds were lovely, a waterfall and pathway along the stream is very serene. Silence is required in the old cathedral as it is a holy shrine to the Catholic world. Perhaps the most interesting aspect was the unexploded bomb on display outside the sanctuary; it had been dropped by the Allies on the cathedral where villagers were hiding for safety. They attribute the miracle to the protection of their Saint Francesco di Paola. The cathedral was targeted because it was believed that the Fascist Party Secretary was hiding there.
