APULICA / Northern Calabria

Northern Calabria, from inland places to the Ionian Sea

Northern Calabria changes perspective between mountains, small towns and coast. The journey begins inland: places to explore on foot, cultures to understand and flavours connected with their landscape. The sea can provide a concluding pause without taking over the story.

Villages, mountains and coast

Time outdoors and a town visit have different rhythms. Combining them leaves room for walking, architecture, food and conversation. Civita, Morano, Altomonte and Corigliano-Rossano offer different threads: selecting a few allows depth rather than treating the region as a list of names.

The connection with Basilicata

Pollino National Park includes territory in both Calabria and Basilicata. The mountains connect two regions through a shared landscape rather than ending at an administrative border.
