Destinations in Calabria
Top Destinations
-
Tropea
Tropea holidays put the best of Calabria on a plate. Cliff-backed beaches. Charming streets unchanged in centuries. And sea views that'll make you stop and stare.
-
Pizzo
Holidays to Pizzo whisk you to the toe of Italy's boot, where you'll find a pair of pretty coves, look-again views and moreish local desserts.
-
Capo Vaticano
Holidays to Capo Vaticano take you to an Italy less travelled. This part of the country is all untamed coasts, traditional food, and rambling vineyards.
-
Parghelia
Holidays to Parghelia are about dozing on powder-soft sands, swimming in bath-warm seas and slowing your stride to match Calabria's chilled-out pace.
-
Zambrone
Zambrone holidays mostly play out on bright-white beaches – the type that will have the Maldives looking over its shoulder.
