Dazzling Scilla, Italy’s Reggio Calabria, Scilla, Italy
You would be forgiven for wanting to visit Scilla in Italy’s Reggio Calabria, time and time again…this really is a wonderful destination. And what better way to see this dazzling town precariously perched against rocks, than with friends from overseas…
In my first post on Scilla, I introduce you to the main sights of this picturesque southern Italian town. As this town is a photographer’s delight, I’m indulging in mainly photos.
