Calabria Area Guide

Calabria is at the toe of the Italian boot, the extreme south of Italy - lapped by the splendid crystal blue Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas and separated from Sicily by the narrow Strait of Messina. The warm climate, the beautiful colours of the sea, the rocky coasts that alternate with sandy beaches, wild natural landscapes, the genuine flavours of local cuisine and the vestiges of its ancient origins make Calabria a unique place that can enjoyed in both winter and summer.

Art lovers will not want to miss the occasion to see the famous Riace Bronzes, on display in the National Museum of Reggio Calabria. The bronzes are an important vestige of Magna Graecia, an epoch that shaped the history of this region significantly. These beautiful statues, representing two warrior heroes, are a rare example of classical Greek sculpture. With its 497 miles of coast, Calabria offers a wide choice of gorgeous beaches; in particular, Capo Vaticano, in the province of Vibo Valentia, is defined as one of the 100 most beautiful beaches in the world: a long tract of fine sand surrounded by age-old trees and lapped by crystal-clear water that teems with fish of all varieties.
