In
Italy, Calabria
 |
| Like the food they love, the Calabrese people are fiery and warm, open and welcoming. They will adore your children, welcome you into their homes and generally treat you like long lost friend . Traditionally hospitable and eager to share the beauty of the region they live in, you will find yourself making friends quickly and easily – and you wont want to leave! Calabria may be one of Italy’s least famous regions, but the toe of Italy has played a large part in Italian culture. |
|
Calabria was once part of the Greek Empire and was then colonized by the Romans, Byzantines, French and Spanish, finally becoming part of the Italian Republic in 1861. Each invading population had a strong influence on the Calabrese culture and cuisine, and that is precisely what makes the region so special and different.
Famous for having the most spicy food in Italy, the area is also well known for seafood, lamb, capers, figs and olives, all of which influence the local cooking. Calabria is also famous for its cheeses, almond, citrus and bergamot trees and pasta all’arabbiata.
The Calabrian coast is famed for its beauty and is home to some of Italy’s most stunning beaches. “Lidos” are unique to Italy and you will find yourself being offered services such as beach chair and umbrella rental, a bar service, babysitting and play clubs for children and all kinds of beach games as part of the Lido experience in Calabria. Of course you can just take off and find some hidden, private coves for pure relaxation!!
Calabria is right next to Sicily and trips via ferry to Messina are cheap and easy. Sicily is an amazing island where you can visit ancient ruins, climb Mount Etna, shop in the glamorous boutiques of Catania and indulge yourself in Sicily’s famous gelato bars or eat traditional Sicilian cannoli desserts in cafes. In fact a day trip to Messina is an absolute must for fans of ancient Roman, Greek and Byzantine history- and is also the perfect starting point for those who want to see Mount Etna one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
