A reference guide, both practical and cultural, for discovering Calabria.
A guide entirely dedicated to this destination in the far south of Italy, which occupies the tip of the Boot, bathed by both the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ionian Sea.
A vast selection of seaside and aquatic pleasures: the Coast of the Gods (Costa degli Dei) and its beaches, among the most beautiful in Italy; Scilla and its charming fishing village; the southern Ionian coast (Costa dei Gelsomini), the wildest in Calabria; Arcomagno beach in Saracena; Capo Colonna south of Crotone...
The most beautiful cultural sites in a region marked by a succession of civilizations: the Romito Cave, a mysterious engraved prehistoric cave, the fabulous Greek bronzes of Riace preserved in Reggio Calabria, the Roman remains of Scolacium, the Byzantine church of Santa Maria delle Armi, the emblematic Fortezza di Le Castella, a fortress built on an islet by the Aragonese, the charming coastal town of Tropea.
A nature guide to a generous and still quite wild region: a peninsula with a pronounced relief, three national parks (Aspromonte, Pollino, Sila), forests with rare or venerable trees, tumultuous rivers, a privileged setting for hiking, canyoning and other outdoor activities.
A selection of gourmet addresses to taste the good Calabrian products and savor a "poor man's cuisine", without fuss but not without character: 'nduja pepper (a spreadable sausage), mountain charcuterie, various cheeses, sweet onion from Tropea, licorice, citron and bergamot, ice cream from Pizzo.
