Isca Marina is a village in Calabria, Italy. It is situated in the very south continental part of Italy, inheriting a warm climate during winter and beautiful hot summers.
The nearest airport is Lamezia Terme International Airport about an hour away. It is served by flights from cities around Italy and other parts of Europe, along with seasonal flights from Tel Aviv and Toronto.
By train: Nearby Stations at Badolato and Sant' Andrea Apostolo dello Jonio have a good train connection to/from all major Italian towns and cities.
A Bus and Coach service is also available.
By car, you can drive from Highway "Salerno-Reggio Calabria" and get-off at Rosarno, then cross Calabria from north to south on highway "autostrada dei due mari". These highways are all toll-free.

During summertime everything is related to sea. During daytime main activities are water sports or beaches activities; during nighttime sea-side discos (in Roccella or in its surroundings) are quite crowded and in a serene mood. Entrance is almost free. Drink prices are cheap.
Like all the surroundings, food is very typical and extremely tasty. Main suggestion includes dry-sausages ("soppressata"), any preparation of egg-plants (by themselves, oven-cooked or in a unique course very similar to Greek moussaka), fresh fried anchovies, and so on. Food is typically spiced with fennel, oregano, onion, garlic. Roccella has as well an excellent local-made bread.
There are a few nice bars in Isca Marina and even more lovely ones open on the beach in the Summer
