Southern Italy Holidays

Southern Italy: Introduction

One of Italy's best kept secrets, the southern Italian region of Calabria is a real gem of discovery with majestic, rocky headlands dotted with cacti, pretty little towns, well-preserved churches and lookout towers. It features dramatic coastal scenery, and is home to no less than three national parks. The majority of the region is covered by lush wooded hills, and one of its most delightful exports is bergamot - it is said to produce the highest quality leaves in the world. The beaches that line the coast have long been popular with visitors from the north of Italy, but as yet remain relatively unknown to the rest of the world. It's the place to go to enjoy an Italian holiday that's different from the norm - with a charm and character all of its own.
