Isola di Capo Rizzuto, Coastal commune in Calabria, Italy

The municipality of Isola di Capo Rizzuto extends along the Ionian coast with sandy beaches and clear waters at 180 meters above sea level.

Archaeological excavations at Capo Piccolo revealed Bronze Age artifacts from ancient Mediterranean trade routes connecting eastern regions with Italy during the second millennium BCE.

Traditional fishing methods passed through generations shape the daily activities of local inhabitants, who maintain strong connections to maritime traditions.

The commune includes several districts such as Campolongo, Le Castella, Sant'Anna, Le Cannella, and Marinella, each offering different services to residents and visitors.

Despite its name meaning island, Isola di Capo Rizzuto sits entirely on mainland Italy, with Capo Rizzuto forming a peninsula into the Ionian Sea.
