Calabria and its tastes, smells, splendors.

Calabria is the end of the Italian boot, extreme south lapped by the beautiful waters of the Ionian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, it’s separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, also known as the Straits of Scylla and Charybdis, two mythological marine monsters whose fame dates back to Ancient Greece.

The warm climate, the beautiful colors of the sea, the rocky coasts alternated to sandy beaches, its wild and mysterious nature, the intense and authentic flavors of the local cuisine and the testimonies of its ancient origins make Calabria a unique place to admire in winter and summer.

5 are the provinces it’s constituted of: Catanzaro (capital), Reggio Calabria, Cosenza, Crotone and Vibo Valentia.

Ports and harbors : tour in Calabria.

Ports and landing points to moor your boat safely, to visit and live unforgettable places. The offered services, available equipment, contacts, useful information.

The hinterland of Calabria is a pure and pristine landscape with vast expanses of green interrupted only by lakes and waterfalls.

An immersion in the wilderness of the Calabrian hinterland is an unmissable experience and parks of Sila, Serre, Aspromonte and Pollino are one of the most interesting naturalistic destinations. The “torrents” and the “big stones” of Aspromonte, the “vegetable patriarchs” of Sila, the rich fauna of Serre are just some of the wonders of nature that this land offers.

In the past cradle of Magna Grecia and land of ancient settlements, it offers a wide choice of churches and monasteries, castles and palaces, villages and places where secular traditions still survive.

In the National Museum of Reggio Calabria you can admire the famous Riace bronzes, an important testimony of the Magna Grecia, beautiful statues representing two warrior heroes: a rare example of classical Greek sculpture.

The crystal clear sea stands out among the many, charming towns that stud long (800 km) Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts .

Beaches of Calabria.

Wide selection, starting from Capo Vaticano known as one of the 100 most beautiful beaches in the world: a long stretch of fine sand, surrounded by old trees and lapped by crystal clear waters populated by a diverse fish fauna.

Its waters of crystalline reflections are also a “natural gym” to have fun practicing windsurfing, kitesurfing or scuba diving to explore the beautiful sea bottoms that house colorful sea fans and fascinating wrecks of the Second World War.

Beautiful are the natural caves of Bagnara Calabra, as well as the enchanting light blue cave of Tropea, the small and colorful caves of the promontory Caminia and Dino Island with its beautiful caves.

The charming seaside tows of the Calabrian coast, the white beaches, the granite cliffs, the charming old town centres, among shops, handicrafts and buildings of cultural interest.

True natural paradises, underwater scenery of great charm.

Beautiful sea bottoms, wild and unspoiled corners, in a journey through nature, history and art. Treasures of great interest to know, love and live.
Many are also the opportunities for fun and sport that Calabria offers to those who choose to spend their holidays exploring the inland areas.

Those who love winter sports will choose one of the many ski resorts, also equipped with synthetic tracks for training throughout the whole year. Those, instead, who want to get more testing can face a rafting excursion along the Lao river or through the Sila gorges.

Another hard practice is canyoning, going up the river without boats but only “walking” in the water and descending with rope in the most challenging points.

Orienteering instead, born in the Scandinavian countries, consists of measuring the ability of orientation with a map and a compass, reaching the finish line as soon as possible, choosing the path independently, but with the obligation to reach milestones.

Another idea is to fly over the breathtaking views of Calabria with instructors who will lead you firmly attached to the saddle of a paraglider, making you admire the beauty of Calabria from a totally different perspective.
The support of special instructors and specialized guides can make this fascinating sport accessible to everyone.

Land of strong and intense emotions.

The Calabrian flavors reflect these feelings.

We certainly begin with the famous Calabrian chili pepper, ingredient of many local characteristic dishes, from bruschetta with n’duja or pilchard (called the “poor man’s caviar”) until the pork sausages, the pasta sauces, the dishes of fish.

How not to mention the sweet taste of the famous red onion of Tropea, protected by the IGP brand, used both to flavor dishes and for medicinal purposes.

Absolutely to try the extra virgin, wines, liquors made of bergamot, licorice, cedar and herbs, honey, jams, delicious Christmas cakes and the pasta of characteristic shapes (strangugghj, fileja, maccaruni) worked with ancient methods.

An enchanting land, dotted with low beaches of fine golden sand and rocky promontories that slope gently into the sea or drop into the crystal clear waters forming small and colorful sea caves.

The unspoiled and wild landscape, the coastal localities with an ancient history, the tourist resorts, the equipped beaches, the marine parks, the beautiful sea bottoms for an unforgettable travel.

Everything here is suitable for the multiple expectations and needs of tourists.
