Calabria is one of the most beautiful regions in Southern Italy and can offer the visitor tall mountains, forests, superb sandy beaches with crystal clear sea and small interesting towns in an untouched landscape.
In ancient times
Calabria was part of Magna Graecia and mythology seems to be inextricably connected to the beautiful and desolate landscape here. But there is more to
Calabria than mythology. Great personalities like Pythagoras lived in
Calabria where he founded his school of philosophy in Kroton (Crotone today). The best training centres for the ancient Olympic athletes were founded in Sibari.
A visit to
Calabria must first and foremost focus on the sea and the amazing scenery of this region.
