Scilla, a small town in the province of Reggio Calabria, is one of the prettiest and most characteristic villages in Italy, rising on a high rocky spur overlooking the sea. The oldest and most suggestive part of the town of Scilla is Chianalea, also known as small Venice for its position almost immersed in the waters of the sea. The houses, narrow to each other and separated by tiny streets, seem to rise directly from the blue sea, resting on the foundations right on the rocks.
The ancient village, of great charm, is a succession of characteristic streets where you can appreciate churches and fountains, while the austere Ruffo Castle dominates from above.
