Davoli: Coast, Mountains and Cultural Heritage

Those who choose Davoli for a stay in a holiday apartment encounter a landscape with clear, crystal-clear waters, wide stretches of golden sandy beach and mountains facing the sea. This combination makes the area appealing if you would like to consider the coast and mountains as distinct holiday focuses. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore first decide whether you want your days to be shaped more by beaches, nature or culture.

Holiday apartment in Davoli between the coast and mountains

Davoli Marina is a developed tourist seaside resort on the Ionian coast. This provides a clear maritime focus alongside the landscapes of the higher mountain area.

The mountain area of Davoli comprises chestnut and beech forests. These two types of woodland give the natural area a distinctive character and complement the open coastal landscape with a second, clearly different environment. If varied landscapes are important to you when searching for accommodation, you can therefore consider Davoli from the perspective of both sea and mountains.

Nature trail through the mountains

The nature trail “Il Sentiero del Tasso” crosses the mountain area of Davoli and the Ancinalesca stream. For a stay focused on observing nature and discovering it together, this provides a tangible reason to experience Davoli through more than just its coast.

Palaces, churches and regional history

Davoli’s cultural sites also add distinctive accents. Palazzo Felluso was the summer residence of the Ravaschiera-Fieschi family, Princes of Satriano. The Chiesa di Santa Barbara was built between the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The Chiesa di San Pietro was built between 1500 and 1600.

The Santuario della Misericordia suffered severe damage in the earthquake of 1783. Together with the two churches and Palazzo Felluso, it contributes to a varied picture of buildings and historically shaped places that can be incorporated into the plans for a culturally oriented stay. A holiday apartment in Davoli may therefore also be interesting if, alongside days at the beach, you would like to include smaller cultural discoveries in your travel plans.

Beaches and excursions in the surrounding area

The area around Davoli includes La Spiaggia Della Galleria, Spiaggia di Soverato, Aquilia Spiaggia and Spiaggia di Montepaone.
