About
Calabria
Calabria is at the toe of the boot, the extreme south of Italy - lapped by the splendid crystal blue Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas and separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina. The warm climate, the beautiful colors of the sea, rocky coasts that alternate with sandy beaches, a nature that is wild and mysterious, the strong and genuine flavors of local food, and the vestiges of its ancient origins make Calabria a unique place that vacationers can enjoy in both winter and summer.
Popular Dishes
This Southern Italian region is famous for its spicy and robust cuisine, emphasizing powerful ingredients like garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and red-hot chili peppers. The local "nduja" is a chilli paste that is guaranteed to ignite the tastebuds.
