Discover Calabria and its heritage
Calabria is as far south as you can go in mainland Italy. This is the Mezzo Giorno, sometimes described as the Italian Africa where summer temperatures can get very high. Much of the region comprises unspoilt forested mountains complete with waterfalls and lakes, as well as one of the longest coastlines in the country covering over 500 miles.
Over two thousand years ago, it formed part of Magna Grecia – a network of colonies established by the Ancient Greeks. The town of Locri in Calabria was one of their key settlements.
