Calabria
The territory is predominantly mountainous and hilly. Here
and there the land gently slopes down to the coast while in other parts there is
a sheer drop down to the sea. . The coastline presents rugged landscapes of
majestic beauty. The majority of the inhabitants are involved in agricultural
activities. The region has a rich heritage from the various civilizations:
Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance style.
My Suggestions:
In Reggio
Calabria, capital of the region, visit
The National Museum of Magna Grecia” with
Paleolithic, Byzantine and Arab art. In the Museum visit also the two famous full-size Greek Bronze ( called “Bronzi di Riace”)
dating about 460/430 B.C discovered recently (1972) by a young scuba
diving . Further the
National Park of
Sila one of the most charming and wildest
sceneries of
Italy
with wonderful forests and beautiful views of the two coasts,
Jonian and Tyrrhenan
seas.
