Should I go to the trop?
Calabria for a long time was like an internal Italian Kurrort. It was a kind of Italian Turarakan, with Mafia, who clearly stole all the money, disappearing the infrastructure and service. In part, this is true today, but not for the tropsy, which has become a good international Kurrrort. Lamecia Terme Airport is open relatively recently and the coast of the Trensky Sea has become much more affordable. Seasonal airport, from May to October, like rest in Calabria. The troptea is about 60 km from it.

Most of the holidaymakers in Calabria today are still Italians, the second largest group of vacationers - Russians and Poles, and the third are Germans. Italians usually speak with tourists in broken English, but not the fact that you can explain to them with them. But guys they emotional and contact and gestures are quite possible.
The trail composition is much more motley, the prices of course above, the infrastructure is better and the city looks not so kicked as everything else that we saw on the segment of the coast, which we drove out of curiosity is much south of Gioia Tauro and a little north of Pizzo. In my deep conviction of the trail (except for Calabrio), this is the only place in Calabria where you can do without renting a car and not score from boredom. From here the boats come out, there is an easily accessible station of the railway and the town is nice to see ... Although it is of course tiny and for 2 days you will know every bush ... But not every restaurant ...
And therefore, the first thing is to expect it a much more pleasant look and a little higher than the price. But in general, Calabria is relatively cheap, especially compared to the north of Italy and this is its second advantage.
Tropean streets
Another nice moment is the stone bridges instead of asphalt and 33 degrees were practically imperceptible. They say, however, what happens here 45. The third moment on the Trensky Sea is an unpredictable change of weather. The region is famous for the cunning of the winds and can be a storm. For our two weeks in July, there are twice twice here. Because if you planned a trip to the boat, then it is not necessary to postpone. During the storm can bring jellyfish and can not go to the sea, although in practice it rarely happens. Table it does not interfere.
Another obvious advantage of the troppy and Calabria is well delicious food. It seems that the whole talent is invested in the food. And for the taste of food and its variety of Calabrians can be forgiven everything else. However, food is separate.
One girl is not worth a lonely girl. Sharite her will try literally at every step. Police here and without it there is something to do. She protects the workers who trigge the plants near the roads, collects money for the parking lot, there is news about blood revenge on TV. Put normal pointers on the roads of the Calabrian police already underway, so it will definitely be not up to the coming girls. But of course you can drive two girls if they are not going to look for an adventure.
And further. If you expect typical Italian shopping on expensive boutiques, then you are not in Calabria. To lovers of stunning Italian museums here is also completely nothing to do. South Italy does not look like north!
Tropese port.
Should I go with the children in the trop?
As for rest with children. On the one hand, numerous Italian families are not uncommon here. At one grandfather ran, as I counted, 11 grandchildren. On the other hand, I'm not sure and the level of medical care. Compared, let's say with Croatia there is still a stone age and are not ready for a foreign tourist or just do not want to prepare.
Where to stay in Trophey?
Hotels a lot, however, the resorts are small and they are completely unnecessary. Most hotels have 3-4 stars. More than half board should not be ordered, and best of all in Calabria is resting at the apart station to cook and goes to the cafe. The choice of food in the supermarket is so interesting that they simply make hands to cook. In addition, here so much to prepare delicious and interesting, and relatively inexpensive, which will be a pity to limit yourself. In addition, Italian moderation at the hotel is definitely not for rest lovers. They are not so loud as Spaniards, but terribly attachment and restless. So the second time I definitely choose the apartment. I would not advise living in hotels in the first line, the locals are generally trying to live more - it's great to breathe. And I would advise to avoid these hotels because of a large number of families with children, unless of course you drive without children. Many hotels carry on the beach and take away from the beach twice a day and usually for free. In the Seside on the beach stitch dangerously, although it can be rolled out in a cafe on the beach.
Beaches in the trail, like everywhere, sandy. Water transparent, pure and many fish. In the tropsy, the views of the beach are completely luxurious. But on the beach wash off rather salty water, or there is no place to either worth a minimum of 50 cents. And the wonderful grots are "converted" to the trail on the beach in the "People's Toilet".
What money to take with you in the trop?
Of course, the euro and credit cards, otherwise you can not remove into the car. There will be no banks in the trail and there will be no problems. The hotel has safes. True, I know the case when it fell all together with the safe.
When is it better to relax in the track?
The best time is the day of August. It is at this time that most Italians are resting into the path. It was in the last numbers in August in the trophess the holidays of the onions, anchovs, cheese, potatoes and in general, all of anything ... In September, rains can begin ... But the beginning of the season and inexpensively already in May. In general, the season from May to the beginning of October.
Output.
Summing up can be said that the path is a bit more expensive than Calabria as a whole. And Calabria is one of the most inexpensive beach places in Europe. It is very good food, food and eating, very healthy climate, windy and light up well, the purest sea. In general, there is inexpensive, there is absolutely no "Ponte" in the form of works of art and complex architectural monuments, there are no boutiques and a promenade where you can simulate on the bomb. Many beautiful species, stunning smells, many sea, sun and wind ...
