Calabria is the essence of the Italian south, or Mezzogiorno, a region offering contrasting and dramatic scenery, where craggy mountains gaze down upon unspoilt beaches, where forested slopes sweep down to a seafront of caves, grottoes and clear blue water. The strong rustic influence persists, with a cuisine strongly reflecting that of the Greeks who colonised this region. Alongside pizzas and other more expected Italian delicacies you'll find menus heavy with swordfish, peppers and aubergines; and sweet dishes containing figs and honey.
Just across the water lies the beautiful Mediterranean island of Sicily, offering even more opportunities to explore during your vacation in Calabria.
