Why is it better for an exk
In Calabria, wonderful sandy beaches, a fairly calm warm sea, a stunning kitchen and low prices. Calabria needs to ride, try fresh angular anchovs, mussels, sardines and fish, whose names we do not even know, wine at winemakers, cheeses, sweets. But infrastructure in Calabria is poorly developed. And independent colleagues may not be very comfortable.
The most important thing is that you need to understand the tourist when choosing an excursion
Attractions in Calabria are not too much, the most interesting excursions in Calabria landscape and culinary. But of course there is everything for sports lovers (catamarans, bicycles, boats) and special tours, pedestrian and cycling, mountain or vineyards, courses for divers ...
The road to many objects is complex and long. Especially if you "will suffer" to the ionic coast or at Costa Viola. And in general, and look at Calabria is not particularly what. And therefore I would advise on focus on the main and most interesting excursions:
- Liapan Islands (see the article on tours of the Tropeus). Because it is something very special !!!
- Sicily (Taormina and Strait "Street Messina")
- And personally, from my point of view, you should not drive further Capo Vaticano
Why pizzo is so convenient as a source goal for a variety of excursions in Calabria.
Of course, Pizzo is not the city that will be awarded the first architectural premium. If you are interested in a pleasant atmosphere around, then it is better to choose a trail, and even better Vibo Marino. Although there is something to see in Pizzo. For example, see the fortress in which the Napoleonic commander of Murat was kept and shot. Or the pidigrotto - the temple is cut right in the rock. And Pizzo is the birthplace of ice cream Tartufo, here you catch a tuna and a fish sword. But we will not dwell on this in detail and focus on excursions with departure from Pizzo. You can order them in any turbule, the cost is usually ok. 50 euros. Many turbuo offer excursions in Russian. Calabria In recent years, from the inner Italian resort has become one of the favorite places of recreation of Russian tourists. Attractions here are a bit, they are scattered along coasts and in the inner areas.

In addition, mountainous and all north of the cana block. The most southern segment of the Trensky coast is Costa Viola. There, by the way, the most storms. The ionic coast in the central and southern part is flat. That is, these coasts are separated by the mountains and therefore either. The only place is conveniently connected to both coasts is Pizzo. In addition, Pizzo is located as it were at the beginning of the performance, the most remote point of which Capo Vaticano. And therefore you can either go along the shore in the trail, Capo Vaticano, the nicotet, etc., or immediately access the autobahn to Tauro (in which there is particularly nothing to watch), Szillla and Reggio di Calabria. And therefore In Pizzo, the list of excursions is the largest!
