Cropani Marina is a hamlet of the municipality of Cropani, who is located in Calabria and more detail in the province of Catanzaro. The affected hamlet is located just sixteen meters above sea level, between two streams the Scilotraco and the Crocchio; and it has very few inhabitants, ie two hundred and fifty-nine.

It is a seaside resort and above all a tourist area, for this reason it represents the hub of both productive and economic outlet of the municipality itself. In it, moreover, there is a real industrial area..

Part of the history of the place is the old Torre del Crocchio, which in the past was used for defensive purposes to maintain under control the situation on the coast from possible sudden attacks by the Saracens. In addition, it is worth mentioning the Roman Villa which is located on the sea and still has an intact flooring.

The main business at the commercial level has always been the processing, transformation and sale of wood material, but lately tourism plays a role of great importance in the general economy of the country, thanks to tourist villages, entertainment and evenings in the main venues located on the coastal strip.

A typical culinary product that we point out is the pictan'closed, a specialty of the period Christmas, a dessert consisting of many roses in puff pastry with white wine, stuffed with spices, honey and dried fruits.

After stopping in the wonderful beaches of Cropani Marina, less than 20 km you can go to the brand new Teatro Politeama, and for lovers of museums it is possible to visit the beautiful Museum of Carriages and the detail.
