Calabria is subdivided into five provinces: Catanzaro (regional capital), Cosenza, Crotone, Reggio di Calabria and Vibo Valentia.
Main tourist attractions are the coastline and the mountains. The coastline goes from rugged cliffs to sandy beaches, with a clear sea und unspoiled spots to visit.

ORIENTATION
Calabria is located south of Italy, delimited on the north by the Monte Pollino massif and surrounded on the other sides by Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. The region is a stretched and narrow peninsula, separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina.
Even though the gorgeous green transparent sea is always present, Calabria is mostly a hilly region. The mountain ranges of La Sila, Pollino and Aspromonte are well known for their distinctive flora and fauna.
Lamezia is located 35 km from Catanzaro and 70 km from Cosenza.
BEST TIME TO GO
The region's climate is mild during winter, with hot dry summers. If you want to enjoy the nature at its best, a good time to go would be between April and June.

Calabria is served by airports in Reggio Calabria (Tito Minniti), Lamezia Terme (Sant'Eufemia) and Crotone (Sant'Anna).

During summer, fast trains connect Milan, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Florence, and Rome with the main seaside resorts of Calabrian Thyrrenian coast.
