Chianalea di Scilla

Reviewed By AlanS656 - Glen Iris, Australia

We were recommended to visit this stunning town that overlooks Sicily and the Aeolian islands by a restaurant we had lunch at further north. We were not disappointed. Spending an evening gazing over the sunset view to Sicily and wandering the little streets that run right down to the water was very enjoyable. There was an authenticity to this fishing village set on a steep slope with boats, ropes and fishing cretes hauled onto the stone paths for the evening. Looks like there were plenty of options to dine with venues overlooking or on the water. It really was an unexpected find that my reaserch had failed to disclose. Thank goodness for that tip!

Lungomare Falcomata

Reviewed By giorgiocannella - Rome, Italy

The seafront of Reggio Calabria is almost two kilometers in a wide sky and sea scenario. It has the volcano Etna on the back stage. There is the monument to the Greek goddess Athena in honor of the then king of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III on the background of the Strait of Messina and the monument to the Victory of Italy in the First World War.

Cattedrale di Gerace

Reviewed By AnnaBellaChick - East Patchogue, United States

This town is absolutely beautiful with stunning views of Calabria. We enjoyed the town after a little bit of a stressful drive. Driving the streets will never get "easy" but once we arrived at the top of the look-out, it was all worth it. It was pretty fun having to jump into doorways to get out of the way of oncoming cars.

Parco Archeologico della Villa romana

Reviewed By coastdream1966

The Roman Villa of Casignana is a must see on anyone’s bucket list of things to do in southern Italy. It is along the Statale 106, the state route which runs along the Calabrian Ionian coast. The area is under the supervision of Giuseppe Romeo, who enables visitors to see the Villa and admire its precious ruins at a very close distance. All of the works have been covered to protect them from the elements, but this also allows you to stroll around in comfort even in the middle of summer. A tunnel has been built which connects the mountain side area with the seaside complex. Mosaics showing four feminine figures riding monsters in the shape of a lion,a tiger, a horse and a bull, are rich in colour and clarity. The unearthed evidence, the precious marbles, painted stuccos and mosaics all add up to lavishly decorated interiors suggesting that this Roman Villa housed royalty, making it a historically significant site and a must see for all visitors to this area.

Cattolica di Stilo

It is a small religious building located adjacent to the Stilo village, on the slopes of Monte Consolino. The term "Cattolica" probably comes from the Greek "Katholikon" which indicates the place of worship of a monastic complex or the cultural center for hermits who lived in the same area. The expressive richness, belonging to a typically Byzantine architectural tradition, places it in full title among the most notable Calabrian monuments.
