Calabria can still amaze tourists and travellers with its strong contrasts, its
environmental and scenic "anomalies", its different ecosystems and "natures",
its varied and rich cultural heritage, and its history to which Mediterranean
and European civilisation can trace their roots.
Calabria has innumerable faces:
radiant as befits a peninsular with 800 km of coast bathed by two seas, the
Ionian and the Tyrrhenian; dark and Nordic on the massifs of Pollino, Sila,
Serre and Aspromonte, all covered with forests rich in torrential rivers, the
so-called "fiumare", which wind to the plain. These rivers are unpredictable for
a Karst phenomena of considerable natural importance.
Calabria has a myriad of
cultures and traditions which are unified in a civil coexistence of tolerance
which respects them by extolling them; the ancient Hellenistic rites, the
Protestant faith, the language, the literature, the customs of the Albanian
communities.
Today, travelling as a tourist in
Calabria means rediscovering the allure and
the peace of the ancient historical centres which populate the hills, the
mountainous terraces over the sea, the cuisine with its full-bodied and sincere
flavours.
Calabria is a modern region with airports, railways, motorways and
trunk roads and above all, prestigious hotels which can satisfy any need, make
the trip comfortable and the stay pleasant.
Calabria's most important cities -
Catanzaro, Cosenza, Crotone, Reggio
Calabria and Vibo Valentia - all welcome
guests and are the starting points for natural and historical - cultural
excursions of great charm.
A vast motorway and railway network, efficient airports and accommodation
facilities offering a wide selection.
The intent of the Region of
Calabria is to bring within everybody's reach a
delightful holiday full of the splendours of an ancient region in the heart of
the Mediterranean.
