Calabria, generally thought of as a maritime coast in the south of Italy, is actually a peninsuala with over 800km of coastline (and some fantastic small, hidden beaches!), practically all mountainous. Ocated on the Western side of Southern Italy, it is close to Sicily, and includes the Capo Vaticano. On a clear day you can see as far as Sicily and also the closer-by island of Stromboli, with its active volcano. Calabria is a paradise for surfers, sailors and divers, who come to practice their sports in the Mediterranean sea which encloses Italy, and which makes for great summer holidays whether you are the sporty type or the more comfort-searching type.
Throughout history, Calabria has been favored not only by the Italians, but also by the Romans, the Greeks and even the Normans, who all came to take advantage of the fertile landscape this part of Italy has to offer. As a result, today there are may well-preserved excavation sites in Calabria, ranging from early settlements, temples, statues and columns, giving us an almost perfect insight into life as it were in this area many centuries ago. Tropea, only a hop away from the Capo Vaticano and the best-known town in the area, is famous for its acheological past, mixed with a modern harbour and unique houses built on cliff terraces.
