As a tradition, every spring we take you to discover Italy’s lesser-known and non-commercialized secret spots. We present to you the fourth exclusive program by Paolo — a specialist in the philosophy of "La dolce vita." This time, we’ll take you south to the sunny Calabria.
Why Calabria? This unique region of Italy combines the beauty of fine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque villages with a rich history and culture. Calabria is the perfect destination for relaxation in nature, enjoying authentic Italian cuisine, excellent wine, and the warm hospitality of the southern Italians. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or cultural enrichment — Calabria offers all this and much more!
If you want to immerse yourself in our Italian fairytale, choose our program for the May holidays and welcome summer 2026 on the Mediterranean coast.
We will start with the “pearl” of the region — Tropea, visit the picturesque fishing town of Sila with its cozy streets and sea views, explore the cultural treasures of Reggio Calabria, and the mysterious abandoned town of Pentedatilo. On the last day, we’ll discover historic Pizzo, sample the famous Tartufato ice cream, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Serre Mountains.
This trip promises unforgettable memories of southern Italy’s stunning scenery, cultural riches, and delicious cuisine.
