Gelato and pastries to die for.
This small cafe on the Main Street in Santa Caterina dello ionio Marina has the absolute best coffee, gelato and cakes in the area.
Another little known secret is this is one of the only cafes that makes their own pastries .
Don't forget to look up at the bunches of red and white grapes while you're eating. There's an enormous grape vine that has been growing across "la pergola" for what seems like hundreds of years.

Caminia (/ Kami'nia /) is a seaside resort located in the municipality of Stalettì ( CZ ), along the 106 Jonica state road , near Soverato .
The long beach is located between two cliffs. The right cliff, that of Torrazzo, is a rocky wall full of cavities. Here swallows, sea birds and the peregrine falcon find shelter. The vegetation is mainly composed of herbs, prickly pears, carnations of the cliffs, mastic trees, olive trees and euphorbias.
On the sea level, however, the two entrances of the cave of San Gregorio open, where according to tradition the relics of San Gregorio Taumaturgo would have arrived .
The left cliff is occupied by houses and houses that slope towards the sea and continue towards the side of Pietragrande.
Between the railway and the old state road there are the remains of the Byzantine church of Panaja (from the Greek, all holy ), dedicated to the Madonna, only part of an apse and part of a wall with traces of plaster remain, datable to the latter perhaps in the early Middle Ages.
