Situated at the toe of Italy’s boot, Calabria is an up and coming tourist attraction in Italy, and it’s not hard to see why! Whilst others may flock to Campania, this quieter destination offers you a chance to get an authentic taste of the Italian “dolce vita”.
Renowned for its spicy and tantalising chilli peppers, and tasty seafood (particularly swordfish), the region is flanked by the azure Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas, and the coastline that surrounds it is poetically known as “The Coast of the Gods.”
It is full to bursting with picturesque beaches, panoramic sea views, not to mention the stunning, rocky and mountainous Pollino National Park, which straddles Calabria and the neighbouring region of Basilicata, and is filled with a diverse range of fragrant flora and fauna.
