Mountains and coast

Characteristic for his region is the 800 km long coastline, surrounded by the Ionian and Tyrrhenian sea and its hinterland. Although the sea seems ever present in Calabria, it is also a mountainous region with three main mountain ranges: the Pollino mountain in the North, the Sila in the Centre, and the Aspromonte in the South, all being unique with their own flora and fauna.

Due to the geographical position, the distance between the sea and the mountains is hardly ever more than 40 km, almost ideal to combine a swim vacation with excursions in the almost unspoiled nature.

The Tyrrhenian coast, also called "Coast of the Gods", because of its delightful landscapes, the clear blue sea, the colourful vegetation and the always bright blue sky begins shortly behind Pizzo (about 30 km south of the airport of Lamezia Terme) reaching Tropea - the gem of the Tyrrhenian sea, Capo Vaticano and Nicotera.
