Hi, I’ve heard that August is pretty hectic month for this area with 100’s of 1000’s of tourists. Does anyone know when exactly starts and finished this season? Just making plans for the summer and trying to avoid most crazy months.

The TOP of the madness is 10/08 thru 20/08 when all Italians go on holidays at the same time and come to Riviera del Cedro. But still there are a lots of holidaymakers from beginning of August thru about 5–8 of September. Before that and after that it’s not too bad.

Thank you for the useful information!

as new habitants of marcellina (and users of the beach of santa maria del cedro) we must say that s.maria is full of holidaymakers in summer. marcellina is mostly occupied by locals and population in july increased but not too much. so it gives an impression of constantly and evenly populated town thru out the year. we have been staying at our apartment in marcellina from beginning to end of july (and before that we’ve been there end of april) and beach of s.maria del cedro with only 10 min bicycle ride from us. so we have noticed that s.maria became full of people more and more each day in july and i think in august is will burst but we have been promised that in september most holidaymakers will disappear and town will slowly be back to tranquility we are after however we enjoyed crowds in s.maria and scalea, particularly during celebration of some sort about 15–17 july, it was absolutely amazing attraction to visit. in general, if you want more quiet life, go for marcellina, if you want more hustle and bustle of the holidays season, then s.maria del cedro or scalea are towns for you. august is peak of season and both cities will be overridden with crowds of holidaymakers, mostly families as we have noticed.

Thanks for sharing this.

I can see, that you have list of all 2019 season festivities in Scalea here.
Do you have same list for Santa Maria del Cedro?
Will be grateful.
