Guide to Cetraro

"High on a rock above the Tyrrhenian coast is the town of Cetraro with its popular seaside resort, fishing port and mariner just a kilometre away. The combination of rugged mountains, unspoilt countryside, sparkling clear sea and tidy beaches gives the area a powerful appeal, and most of the towns are within easy reach of each other."

Centuries ago Cetraro was a flourishing agricultural town and port and its name derived from the local cultivation of cedar, but nowadays this ancient sea hamlet, with its single steep road climbing up the hillside, is more renown amongst its visitors for the local delicacy 'rosamarina' – a bluefish. The nearby coastal towns are all worthy of a visit, each with something different to offer. Spend a day at the chic town of Diamante to the north – it's filled with colourful modern murals painted on the whitewashed walls of the narrow alleyways.
