Planned Route Notes
Tropea is the threshold. Perched high above the Tyrrhenian Sea, the town feels suspended between mainland Italy and Sicily, which lies just beyond the horizon. This is a place to pause deliberately before the crossing. The rhythm here is slower and more authentic. Narrow streets, weathered facades, and daily life unfolding without performance. The sea dominates everything — constant, luminous, and calm. This rest day is about recovery and observation. Walking the old town. Sitting above the water. Resetting body and mind after the long descent through Italy. From here, the journey turns decisively toward Sicily.
