The Must-sees of the trip
- Reggio Calabria, Scilla and ChianaleaReggio Calabria awaits you with its magnificent palazzos and plenty of Mediterranean flair. You can admire the famous bronze statues “Bronzi di Riace” in the Archaeological Museum. Then drive along the beautiful Costa Viola to the idyllic, legendary fishing village of Scilla. The atmosphere in Scilla’s fishing neighbourhood of Chianalea, which nestles in the small bay below the cathedral and castle, has remained authentically Mediterranean. The name Chianalea possibly comes from the canali, small valleys between the rocky ribs on which the fishermen’s houses stand. According to legend, survivors of ancient Troy were the first settlers.

- Le Castella and Capo ColonnaIn the morning, visit Castello Aragonese Le Castella. One of the most fascinating castles in Italy is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the “Capo Rizzuto” marine reserve, also thanks to its special position, as it is enthroned on a small island that is only connected to the coast by a narrow strip of land. Built in the 15th century, the fortress was a refuge for soldiers defending themselves against attacks from invaders from the sea. Continue to Capo Colonna. It is worth a visit both from an archaeological point of view and because of the extraordinary beauty of the coast. The Doric temple of Hera once stood where only a column remains today. (F,A)

The famous tartufo ice cream, which originated in Pizzo and can be savoured in countless bars on the piazza, is a MUST.

Gerace and Locri
Drive to the picturesque medieval town of Gerace, situated on a castle rock. The town’s biggest attraction is the imposing 11th century cathedral, which is considered the largest church in Calabria.
