Discover Calabria

Arrive in Reggio Calabria and settle into your hotel along the Lungomare Falcomatà, often called “the most beautiful kilometer in Italy.” Spend your first evening walking along the seaside promenade lined with palm trees, admiring views of Sicily and Mount Etna across the Strait. Enjoy a relaxed dinner with fresh seafood and Calabrian wine.

Enjoy a guided tour by discovering the city’s rich heritage with a visit to the National Archaeological Museum, home to the world-famous Riace Bronzes, two remarkable Greek statues over 2,000 years old. Continue through the historic center, where elegant architecture meets lively local life, and visit the Cathedral of Reggio Calabria, one of the largest in southern Italy. In the afternoon, relax with a gelato on the promenade while watching the sunset over the sea.

Join a warm, family-style cooking class where you’ll prepare two traditional pasta dishes and tiramisu. Begin with a seasonal Calabrian aperitif, served on the terrace with panoramic views in warm weather, featuring local specialties like cheeses, nduja, and fried treats. Then learn to make stuffed fresh pasta and stroncatura, a classic regional recipe, before finishing with homemade tiramisu. A joyful, welcoming experience that captures the true spirit of Calabrian home cooking.

Begin your stay in Tropea, the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian,” by checking into your hotel and taking in the breathtaking coastal views. In the afternoon, join a guided walking tour through Tropea’s charming old town, discovering historic monuments, elegant architecture, and hidden gems with a professional local guide. If you wish, enhance the experience with tastings of local specialties such as Tropea’s famous red onion, ’nduja, and peperoncino. End the day with a traditional Calabrian dinner and the town’s warm seaside atmosphere.

Enjoy a wine and food tasting tour at a local vineyard in the Tropea countryside. Discover the flavors of Calabria through regional wines, artisanal products, and traditional dishes, a true celebration of the land’s rich culinary heritage.

Spend your final day in Tropea at your own pace, enjoying a relaxed morning by the sea or a last stroll through the town’s charming streets. Take in the stunning views of Santa Maria dell’Isola and savor the atmosphere of the Coast of the Gods one more time. Enjoy some free time for shopping or a final taste of Calabrian specialties before preparing for your onward journey.
