Lamezia Terme is closely associated with the sea. The town is surrounded by white, unpolluted beaches and beautiful bays both on the Tyrrhenian (to the west) and the Ionian side (to the east). Moreover, the upper plain of the Sila to the north, with its stunning mountains and alpine landscape, is rich in forests and lakes.
In the area around Lamezia Terme, there are also important artistic sites, Greek, Norman, and Roman temples, as well as palaces from the Bourbon times.
The coastal road, from Pizzo Calabro to Capo Vaticano — called "Costa degli Dei" (Gods' Coast) — through Tropea is one of the most beautiful in Italy. The latter town is famous for its characteristic centre, which looks out spectacularly onto the sea.
