San Lucido

San Lucido is a typical village in Calabria by the sea. It has amazing architecture and history. It is popular for its traditional events like their annual summer carnival and beach clubs.

Diamante

Calabria's hidden gem, Diamante, the city of murales, breathtaking beaches, and passion for peperoncino "hot pepper"!
You cannot come to Calabria and not visit Diamante...the small city by the sea that is considered one of the most beautiful places of the region.

Tropea

Calabria's "terrace by the sea". Due to its geographical position on steep risings of two prominent eroded limestone, it overlooks the coastline giving a breathtaking view of the emerald coloured waters, white sandy beaches. Have a prosecco in Piazza Cannone with friends at sunset....go for a swim or go shopping in Tropea's popular little boutiques or try its
traditional foods made with its local red onion!

Cosenza

Between the sea and the mountains, Cosenza is a city that boasts of an amazing historical centre with a castle and buildings that date back to the 12th century, as well as great shopping, food, and nightlife!
Visit its 12th century Duomo or admire the view of the city from its castle, "Castello Svevo" or enjoy an espresso from its most antique cafe'that dates back to 1801.
And if you're art lover, take a stroll along Corso Mazzini, and admire works of art by Salvatore Dali or Giorgio De Chirico at its open air museum.

We'll enjoy an aperitivo at Gizzeria’s hotspot for beach lovers and fun night-life entertainment, “Cool Bay Risto Beach”. Enjoy a cool drink by the bar made by flair bartending champions.
