But Calabria’s history stretches back much further than the Middle Ages!
We will journey into the fascinating world of Magna Graecia, when powerful Greek colonies flourished along these shores. We will explore the remains of ancient temples and archaeological treasures, including the remarkable Temple of Hera Lacinia at Capo Colonna, the ancient city of Locri Epizefiri, and the impressive archaeological heritage of Scolacium.
Along the way, we will uncover fascinating legends, surprising historical facts, unusual traditions, and little-known stories that make Calabria such an extraordinary destination.
