More about your Calabria holiday...
When you holiday in Calabria you must also take time to explore. The countryside is scattered with historic landmarks, from Byzantine churches to ancient Greek temples – all relics of the region’s long and chequered past. Alternatively, it is worth taking a holiday in Calabria just to experience the Festival del Peperoncino, a week long fiesta in September dedicated to the cayenne pepper, which has become the unofficial symbol of the region. They take their food here seriously, and you can expect lots of fresh fish and local produce, as well as specialities such as ‘alici ripieni’ (stuffed anchovies). A holiday in Calabria is a lovely way to enjoy the best of traditional Italian customs and lifestyle in a relaxed, unhurried and picturesque setting. Not everyone speaks English here but that is just part of its rustic charm. Calabria just might be Italy’s best kept secret.
