Le Castella - General Info

Located in the province of Crotone on the Ionian coast of Calabria, this is a useful haven in bad weather. It lies approx. 55 miles NE of Rocella Ionica and 15 miles SW of Crotone.
The fortress here dating back five centuries was fully restored in 2001 and is well worth a visit (picture taken by Peter Ter Haar).

Stayed in Le Castella the night from March 18th to 19th. Arrived in strong southerlies. Floodlights light up the Harbour and they are the brightest lights all along the Shore, but when you come closer they dazzle and it is impossible to see the Harbour entrance until you are very close to the breakwater (50 mt). This is dangerous and care is needed!
