Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Soverato
Soverato Look at the Ionian Sea with a long walk, clear beaches and a lively centre in the evening. The resort has a simple and seaside face, but the nearby hills quickly remind the interior Calabria, especially when the light drops on the bay.
Nature
Squillace
Squillace is a discovery of reliefs and light, with paths that force to change tempo. Go up and down on another route: geography is understood by this breath rather than by a fixed view.
Place
Stilo
Stilo stands out for its relationship between local architecture and surrounding relief, which is legible on pedestrian routes. Take a walk that includes centre and high area to observe how the village stands between history and current usage.
Place
Gerace
Gerace It travels like a fabric of high points, narrow alleys and thresholds that make up a very sensitive frame. By moving forward in loop, one perceives how the site retains its intensity without ever forcing the staging.
