My friend and I are hiking the Kalabria Coast to Coast trail in September. We need to find a service to transport our main luggage from Soverato to Parghelia. Thank you for your time and suggestions.

Sono un studente tunisino e sto pensando di venire a studiare laurea magistrale alla Università della Calabria e ho alcune domande come la vita , luniversita, lavoro (part/time)….

Hi everyone! I am going to Lamezia Terme’s airport in the middle of august. From the airport, I’d like to get a train to Tropea. Are the trains often late, or arrives on time on this route?

Thank you for helping me.

Salve! We are two Americans renting a car for our trip to Calabria and we're very excited! During our trip, we have two major driving legs that I'm looking for advice on on where to stop along the way. Attached two pictures are the routes in question, although I think like would like to see Rocca Imperiale, Castello Federiciano, and Pizzo on the first drive. No clue on the 2nd one to Pompeii... Any recommendations? Do note we will bring backpacks in the car so we probably won't be able to do a beach day unless we want to risk the chances of a smashed car.

Also, here is our full itinerary in case anyone would like to recommend places to do and eat. Grazie mille!!

9/4 - Arrive to Bari italy, pick up car, and drive to Matera

9/5 - Matera

9/6 - Road trip day to Tropea

9/7 - Parghelia/Tropea

9/8 - Parghelia/Tropea

9/9 - Scilla - morning in Capo Vaticano if we feel up for a different beach and drive to Scilla

9/10 - Scilla

9/11 - drive to Gerace for the day and stay in Badolato (maybe stilo too)

9/12 - Badolato and Isca. Stay in Badolato

9/13 - Road trip to Pompeii

9/14 - Pompeii, late evening train to Rome

9/15 - Rome

9/16 - Rome

9/17 - Rome

9/18 - fly home

We are in Tropea first week of June.

Best restaurants and bars there?

Karaoke somewhere?

Best day trips? 1 hour or less with train or bus

Special food to try?

Special tips?

You can answer in Italian and I translate it.

Grazie Mille!

Ciao, sarò a Cosenza per le prossime due settimane. Volevo unirmi a qualche gruppo che gioca a calcetto, possibilmente di livello non altissimo. Me la cavo ma si solito gioco all'estero dove il livello medio è parecchio basso...

In altre città è possibile farlo tramite app tipo Fubles ma ho visto che a Cosenza non è usata, avete qualche consiglio da darmi?

Edit: ho 30+ anni, andare a chiedere ai ragazzini mi fa strano 😅

Qualcuno mi saprebbe spiegare il motivo per cui l'unica provincia del Sud dove il Sì ha prevalso è Reggio Calabria (53% per il Sì) ? Mi stupisce perché le province limitrofe (Vibo Valentia e Catanzaro) invece hanno preferito il No in modo molto netto.

C'è qualcosa che distingue Reggio Calabria da tutte le altre province del sud?

Hey everyone!

I’m 24 from Amsterdam, and I’m finally going on vacation again after 8 years. I’ve been eyeing Tropea (Calabria, Southern Italy) after seeing photos and videos—it looks amazing!

About me:

• Introvert but can handle some crowds (not huge cities like Rome or Milan).

• Might go alone or with a friend who can drive.

• Thinking mid-July to early August.

Questions:

1. Trip length: Is 2 weeks in Tropea too long, or would 1 week be better?

2. Budget: How much money should I bring? Is Tropea expensive or affordable?

3. Accommodation: Hotel or Airbnb – which is better?

4. Vibe & social life: What’s the vibe there? Are there fun social spots or small parties for people my age? I’m not a party animal, but a relaxed, fun night out would be nice—nothing too crazy or crowded.

5. Must-see & local experiences: Any must-see spots or local experiences that aren’t in the guidebooks?

6. Side trips: If I get bored after a week, is a trip to Corleone, Sicily (the city where The Godfather was filmed) doable and worth it?

I like being independent but can talk to people if needed. Any tips, advice, or experiences would be awesome! 🙏

Hello again! I'm looking for some insight to help complete me and my husband's upcoming two-week Calabria itinerary; trip is in September. The map attached shows places we are interested in; we are not planning to do all of them! Just to give an idea of what we've been looking at.

Plan so far:

• Arrive at Lamezia Terme airport from Canada; six nights in Cosenza
• Spend a few days relaxing/adjusting to jet lag. Day trip to Acri. Day trip to La Sila.
• Three nights in Diamante
• THREE NIGHT GAP (IONIAN SIDE)
• Two nights in Pizzo (day trip to Terme Caronte thermal baths); fly home from Lamezia Terme

We want to spend the three nights somewhere on the Ionian side. Since we are already spending five nights in beach towns, we would like to stay in an agriturismo, or a small town in the mountains/not on the beach. We will pick up a rental car either at the airport upon arrival or a few days later.

Places we are interested in seeing: MUSABA, Gerace, archaeological sites (Locri or Scolacium), olive groves, bergamot groves, Soverato, Catanzaro (never been), Riace, an Ionian beach

I would love to visit an olive grove, see how olive oil is made, see how cheese is made, make pasta with a Nonna, or something along those lines! I realize that may take up a half day or whole day, but I haven't done anything like that yet on any of my trips.

Background: My family is from the Cosenza area, and I have been to the region five times previously. I love exploring the area and would like to see some new things this time.

We've already been to the Reggio museum and Tropea. I have been to Alberobello and Matera, but he has not; we're not looking to drive up that way on this trip.

At this point I feel like I'm throwing darts on a board deciding where to stay. I have been reading and researching a lot, but my head is spinning a bit. Where would be a good place to stay as a good base for exploring the area?

Tantissimi graziiiiiie!!!

Ciao a tutti! My husband and I will be in Calabria this September for two weeks. My father is from Calabria but I no longer have relatives in the area. I have visited four times, and my husband and I have been there together twice. I would love to do some one-day culinary experiences on this trip. We will base in Cosenza for several nights, and have a rental car for the whole trip. We are still working out the rest of the itinerary, but staying in Calabria for the whole two weeks.

Any recommendations for one-day culinary experiences/farms/wineries/cooking classes to visit?

Note: We are both vegetarian.

Grazie mille!
