Location

Praia a Mare (Praia a Mare-Tortora – Località Santo Stefano), a quiet town, is part of the “Riviera dei Cedri” (the “cedar coast”), which is around 50 km long, and welcomes its visitors with beaches of white sand, but also rugged shores or private lidos displaying all kinds of amenities. For the tourist, there is a wide choice of outdoor activities: diving and snorkelling, boating, windsurfing, rafting, horse-riding on the beach, parachuting, paragliding, quad-biking, but also classical sports like tennis and golf.
Praia’s key attraction is the island of Dino, which majestically rises from the waters just south of the residential area. This island deserves a visit for its numerous caves, in which stalactites and stalagmites have shaped unique natural monuments. For our young visitors there are lots of fun games and events on offer in the AquaFans theme park; and they will be held spell-bound by the primeval fascination of dinosaur’s island.
To relax, a stroll along Praia’s seafront offers beautiful panoramic views, attractive restaurants that invite you to taste the typical dishes of the region. In the evenings, night spots and public events entertain the tourist who may do some shopping or just simply look at the beautiful starry sky above.

Scalea

Scalea is a historical city, full of ancient buildings and archaeological sites with Greek and Roman ruins. It is renowned for its numerous towers, for its old city centre, for its many different shops, bars and restaurants, displaying a traditional, but also lively and easy-going atmosphere.

Maratea

Maratea, a typical Calabrese town with its narrow alleys and small traditional restaurants and artisan’s shops is a fascinating place for every visitor. From the hill, where the statue of Christ the redeemer stands, a wide panoramic view can be enjoyed.

Paola

In the city of Paola, just across the hills, one finds the sanctuary of Saint Francis of Paola, built in the 16th century, housing the garments of the saint.

 

Diamante

The town of Diamante with its waterfront, its Murales (wall paintings) and its Chilli Pepper Festival will certainly be another pleasure trip.

 

The best season in Calabria begins at the end of April / beginning of May and reigns supreme until mid October. All through the year you may book our language courses, or enjoy our spa and wellness packages, or just get impressed by numerous guided tours to the region’s places of historical, archaeological or religious interest.

Genuine and exquisite scents and flavours, generous vineyards, large sways of century-old olive plantations, a crystal-clear sea, secluded bays and beaches, caves and cliffs, lakes and silvery rivers, splendid mountains, traditional warm-heartedness and hospitality – all that will assure that Calabria is going to find its place in each visitor’s heart.
