Voted for by the Telegraph Newspaper in the United Kingdom

The
best beach holidays for families with active kids in France, Spain,
Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Greece and Turkey with tips and advice on
hotels and activities

Calabria, occupying Italy’s toe, doesn’t
feature as prominently as Sicily or Puglia in Italian summer-sun
brochures. But zoom through the barely regulated sprawl cluttering up
much of the coast here to resorts of great character, such as Tropea, a
charming and ancient enclave that is the region’s answer to Positano or
Taormina. The old town, full of good trattorias and shops, sits on a
rocky outcrop above a gently shelving sandy beach.

Tropea’s
evening passeggiata is one of Italy’s busiest and most snail-paced –
perhaps because of the sweet distraction of the historic ice-cream
emporium Gelati Tonino (Corso Vittorio Emanuele 52). The crazier
flavours include onion and cuttlefish; we recommend the lemon granita.
