Calabria, terra d amare Calabria has been rewarded by the American newspaper New York Times as an unmissable Italian destination last summer 2017. Kilometres and kilometres of magnificent white beaches and jagged rocks close to a crystalline blue sea, a hinterland rich in natural beauties, smells and aromas typical of Mediterranean ecosystem, flavours of an ancient culinary tradition that finds its roots in the past generations and the warmth of a welcoming and hospitable people. The main tourist resource in Calabria is the sea, with a very long coastline overlooking three seas (Tyrrhenian, Ionian, Strait of Messina). The absence of large cities on most of the territory has allowed to preserve the immaculate sea for a long time, and Calabria is still considered a naturalistic paradise. Among the most important cultural cities is Cosenza which since 2008 has been recognized as "city of art" by the Calabria Region with a resolution aimed at highlighting the historical and artistic heritage of the city known as the Athens of Calabria.
Rossano Calabro This beautiful location, overlooking the sea, is located in the Piana di Sibari, and in particular between the beautiful Ionian coast and the Sila Mountain. In addition to the numerous buildings located throughout the town and privatized, in the historic center of Rossano you can visit many ancient works dating back, in particular, to the colonizing Greeks. Three unmissable locations to visit in Rossano and surroundings: Cathedral of Maria Santissima Achiropita, where the Madonna and the famous "Codex Purpureus Rossanensis" are kept inside, a Greek gospel of the 5th century, written with gold and silver uncial characters on very precious purple parchment; The Liquorice Museum: unique in Italy to exhibit inside the tools used in the processing, marketing and extraction of the root from which the liquorice is obtained; The Abbey of Santa Maria del Patire and the Torre Stellata. Calabria remains a land with great tourist and economic potential. A land to rediscover, to love, to live.
