Calabria

Calabria (Tyrrhenian Sea) The ancient, harsh land with a rich history, Calabria was almost deserted in the 1940 when most of the residents had left their native land and went to seek their fortune in northern Italy, America, Canada and Australia. However, Italy’s entry into the EU initiated the revival of Calabria. Today, this is a very popular tourist destination. Best time to visit is from June till September.

 

Calabrian coast is washed by two seas: the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian. It has enough beaches for every taste: you can spend time in deserted hidden bays among rocks or hang out in crowded, well-equipped beaches, in the evening transformed into noisy discos. The beaches on the Tyrrhenian coast are sandy, rather long, surrounded by small cliffs. Ionian coast is solitary, small and rocky.

Besides the usual beach activities and water sports, you can do “historical adventure” diving. Fans have the opportunity to examine the remains of 50 sunken ships off the coast, some of which relate to the IV century BC.

GioiaTauro It is a 3-mile sandy beach with small patches of gravel. If you have sensitive feet, it is better to walk on the beach in flip-flops. There are several bars, restaurants and showers on the territory.

Near the beach there are a few parking lots. This is a rare beach not closed by rocks, so there is always a refreshing sea breeze blowing. The Lipari Islands and the Cape of Capo Vaticano are visible from the shore of the island when the weather is fine .The water is very pure. The beach is not too crowded and very convenient for families.

PalmiBeach is sandy and full of pebbles, sometimes not very pleasant when bare foot. The length of the beach is 1 km, the width 50 meters. In summer it is literally crammed up with people. Free parking cars is difficult to find. Palmi is surrounded by cliffs and approached by coast mountains, overlapping access to the wind, so the hot season can be too hot.

TropeaThe beautiful sandy beach is included in the top 10 beaches in Italy of 2004. It has fine, soft sand. The length of the beach is of 500 meters, the width is of 30 meters. During the season it is difficult to park nearby. The coastal cliff overlooks the beach breeze from the sea.

Capo Vaticano This is a 500-meter-long beach covered with soft clean sand. Also, as Tropea, it is very crowded, not enough parking spaces. Ideal for couples and single holidaymakers, hoping to meet new people. There are bars, restaurants, showers on the territory.

ScillaThis classic sandy beach stretches for kilometers along the aquamarine waters. Scilla is surrounded by cliffs, so here are extremely rare refreshing winds. There are some bars along the strip. On clear days you can see the coast of Sicily from here.

Reggio di Calabria This is a new bulk beach sand which was brought to the GioiaTauro. Rather narrow (25 meters), it stretches for kilometers and it is not too crowded. The beach is opened to the breeze in bars, restaurants, showers, there are places for free parking.

SoveratoThe picturesque fishing village of Soverato is stretched by snow-white sandy beaches for a kilometer. Here there is are “civilized” areas with bars, restaurants, lounges and showers, as well as more secluded corners where you can admire the sunset in the sea with an “intimate” setting. Scenic views stretch along the beach promenade.
