The Amantean climate is extraordinarily temperate, thanks to the presence of the Tyrrhenian sea: the territory of Amantea, in fact, has an average depth of only two kilometers towards the hinterland and instead winds along the sea for over thirteen kilometers. This ensures a very long duration of the good season: sometimes the summer lasts from April to November. In summer, therefore, the sea and hilly breezes that cool the air are dominant. Frosts are very rare, as are snowfalls, caused by the proximity to the inland coastal chain.

The Castle dominates the inhabited area from the top of the hill, with the Mastio tower in the center and the ruins of the old Church of San Francesco d'Assisi (perhaps ex-Mosque) not far away. From the studies of Enzo Fera the coastal defense system built between 1100 and 1600 AD has been reconstructed. Numerous, in fact, there are towers and fortifications that make the area an area once very well guarded against the incursions of Barbary pirates. There are still intact artifacts. The historic center of Amantea, clinging to the cliff of the Castle, although not particularly vast, is certainly of great tourist interest both for the presence of monumental buildings and great views, and for the characteristics of the urban settlement. The town stands in a dominant position on the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the coastal plain of alluvial origin: surrounded by walls until the 19th century, the position was one of the strongest in Calabria Citra. It is inevitable that first the Byzantines, and then the Arabs, thought of fortifying this natural citadel, making the town develop on the steep slope. Before the old route of the main road 18 Tirrena Inferiore was opened in the thirties of the twentieth century, the historic center was practically completely closed to motor vehicle traffic. Still in the twenty-first century the access paths to the ruins of the Castle and the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi are dirt paths that are difficult to walk even on foot, and a good part of the historic center, around the Church of Sant'Elia and the ex- College of the Jesuit Fathers.

Tradition has it that a boatman refused to ferry San Francesco from the Calabrian coast to Messina and the Saint crossed the strait with his own cloak. San Francesco was proclaimed not only patron of Calabria but also patron of seafarers.
