Getting around
Arriving
Scilla. On the Tyrrhenian coast line, minutes north of Reggio; the station sits above Marina Grande with the Chianalea fishing quarter a short walk around the castle rock.
Tickets · Trenitalia (arrival)
Scilla is Homer's rock: castle above, beach one side, Chianalea's houses-in-the-sea the other; all walked
Trenitalia app or machines.
Validate regional paper tickets before boarding.
On foot
- ·Chianalea's single lane threads between fishermen's houses and the water; swordfish season brings the passerelle boats offshore
Taxis and driving
- ·Parking is scarce above the beach; the train solves Scilla
