About this site
Vadaro sits along the Tyrrhenian coastline of the Province of Vibo Valentia, on the western side of Calabria in southern Italy. This stretch of coast, near the Capo Vaticano promontory, is known for its rocky shoreline and granite outcrops running down into the sea. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 20 metres, and divers have reported grouper and octopus among the rocks here.
