Beach in Scilla

Beach in Scilla

[ July, 2015 ] After walking around the lovely town of Scilla in southern Italy, we went to the beach to have a rest.

Here, the water was very clean and clear, and the water was nice and warm.

I thoroughly enjoyed bathing there.

We particularly appreciated the cleanliness, because it was after experiencing the beach with rubbish, near Roccella Jonica.

There were many women there, too, which somehow let me feel more secure.

By the way, Scilla is known for a monster called Scylla in Greek mythology.

The appearance of Scylla is like a mermaid but with 6 fierce dog heads around her body.

Originally, she was a pretty woman, but a witch made her a monster, animated by jealousy.

There seemed to be a tour about this mythology and during the tour people could dress up like a mermaid to take photos.

I like this kind of event, but unfortunately we did not have enough time to join it.
