Montegiordano, view

Ionian coast · 40°02′N · 16°36′E

Montegiordano

Montegiordano Marina lies on the Ionian coast, in the Gulf of Taranto, just inside Calabria. The sea is almost always calm and clear, and the seafront has a cycle path and a playground in the little square.

A place to rest far from mass tourism, with two of Frederick II’s castles a few minutes away: Rocca Imperiale to the north and Roseto Capo Spulico to the south.

What to see

On foot from the centre, or a short drive away.
