Perched between the dramatic Tyrrhenian cliffs and the gentle sand dunes of the Ionic coast, this cosy gem resides just south of the expansive Sila plateau offering a captivating glimpse into the diverse landscapes of the Mediterranean.Hitta resa

Calabria is located in southern Italy and, as such, is characterised by a hot and dry Mediterranean climate. There are, however, differences inside Calabria: the west coast, for instance, is generally colder and rainier and has high cliffs and small beaches, while the east coast is influenced by the hot and dry air of Africa, and has plenty of large, sandy beaches. The inner part of Calabria is mountainous and experiences low temperatures and heavy snowfall in the winter. If you want to enjoy the beaches and attractions this region has to offer, summer is the best season, roughly from June to September. This period is when most people decide to visit Calabria, as the weather is nice and you can enjoy the vibrant nightlife and the many festivals the major cities have to offer, such as the Tropea Red Onion and Bluefish Festival in Tropea.
Lamezia Terme’s compact centre is easily explored on foot. For longer trips or regional visits, you can choose between buses, trains or car rentals.
