Old Villages
The old villages, fascinatingly unchanged, are one of the most pleasant attractions in Calabria. Gerace, inside the National Park of Aspromonte, preserves all the characteristics of a medieval city with its churches, old buildings and spaces, at one time living areas or workshops, built directly into the rock. The medieval village of Badolato, built by the Angevins on a hill a few kilometres from the coast, has an amazing marina, which is of great tourist interest. Locri is an ancient Greek city whose archaeological area is perfectly conserved. And then we have Nicotera, Mileto, Vibo and so many other towns of great interest for tourists. |
