Scilla takes its name from Scylla, the sea monster that guarded the Calabrian coast of the Strait together with Charybdis in Homer's Odyssey. Today, that side is a promontory with Ruffo Castle, which separates the beach of Marina Grande from the village of Chianalea. In Chianalea, the houses reach down to the waterline and the alleyways narrow between one mooring and the next: it is the fishermen's quarter, especially lively at the time when the boats return. Myth&Sea brings these two dimensions together in a single evening: myth on the cliff and the sea in the village.

Departure is from Reggio Calabria, Piazza Indipendenza, at 6:00 pm. The transfer takes about half an hour (just over 20 kilometers along the coast). From 6:30 p.m., you have free time: take a stroll along the seafront at Marina Grande, then head into Chianalea as the light fades over the Strait.

At 8:30 p.m., dinner in Chianalea: a typical appetizer, a main course of your choice and a glass of local wine. After dinner, ice cream. The return is scheduled to depart from Scilla at 11:00 p.m., arriving in Reggio Calabria around 11:30 p.m.
