Trebisacce
Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia
Until the mid-20th century Trebisacce was a fishing village; today it is the main commercial and seaside centre of the upper Ionian coast of Calabria, with Blue Flag beaches since 2015. The old town keeps to a terrace 73 metres up, above the newer Marina, and its name probably comes from the Greek for 'little table'. Olive trees surround it, and on Sundays a market fills the whole historic centre.
