About location

Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast has served as a maritime route between southern Italy and Sicily since antiquity. The coordinates 38.29361 N, 15.6975 E place this point in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Calabrian shore, north of the Strait of Messina, rather than near Isla Naos in Panama. This stretch belongs to Calabria, the toe of the Italian peninsula, where steep coastal terrain meets a sea long used by Mediterranean shipping. Calabria formed part of Magna Graecia, the Greek-colonized regions of southern Italy whose legacy remains in archaeology, place names and regional traditions. The nearby Strait of Messina links the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas.
