Arriving at Lamezia Terme Airport, you’ll immediately feel the warmth of Calabria. More than a host, your bilingual heritage specialist will welcome you like an old friend. After a hotel check-in, let Morano Calabro embrace you with its charm, culminating in a Calabrian feast beneath a Norman castle.
Today, you’ll head into the heart of the Pollino Mountains, where you’ll meet with local artisans who are preserving their national heritage. We’ll have lunch and enjoy a walk through the countryside before returning to the hotel to rest. Afternoons are for aperitivi – so evening wine and snacks are on order.
After a hearty breakfast, you’ll journey through your ancestral paths. Meeting local folks and savoring dishes at our favorite trattoria makes for a day close to the heart (If tasting local cuisine is one of your favorite things to do on vacation, you may also enjoy our Wine and Food Tour of Calabria).
Start your day sipping coffee in the vibrant piazza, surrounded by local stories and laughter. Our next stop? A quaint vineyard where Calabrian wines share their tales. As the day winds down, Morano welcomes you back with a leisurely evening.
Pack your bags and set your spirit free! As we head south, we take a lovely detour to Pizzo Calabro and unlock the mysteries of the Chiesetta di Piedigrotta. And what’s Italy without its flavors? Await a seafood symphony for lunch and a tartufo gelato demonstration. As evening dawns, join in for a community aperitivo, enjoying the ambiance of Reggio Calabria.
Today you’ll dive into history with the Bronzi di Riace and soak in the local atmosphere. Later, Scilla beckons. This little hamlet whispers tales of old and invites you to a delightful swordfish luncheon by the Strait of Messina. As night falls, Reggio Calabria wraps you in its warm embrace.
As we bid adieu to our Reggio abode, a magical detour awaits – the mountainous embrace of Serra San Bruno. Whether wandering amidst tranquil pines or relishing a traditional mountain feast, moments turn memorable here. Catanzaro awaits for a night of dreams.
Greet the day and gear up for La Sila Mountains – where nature sings and spirits soar. Revel in the charm of an Alpine-like village, feast on time-tested recipes, and let the botanical gardens whisper secrets. As stars twinkle, Catanzaro becomes your comforting nest.
Swap the usual hotel breakfast for a gelato-making escapade, where sweet delights and laughter blend. Next up, Scolacium unravels its ancient tales, followed by olive mill mysteries. As dusk sets in, gather for an intimate farewell, celebrating moments turned memories. Rest up in Catanzaro, with dreams sprinkled with Italian magic.
After breakfast, we depart for Lamezia Terme airport, bidding farewell to the beautiful Calabria. Your journey of heritage, culinary delights, and unforgettable landscapes will leave you with memories to cherish forever.
Arrivederci, Bella Calabria!
