Calabria, Italy is a largely unexplored region that has lots to offer.
It is one of Western Europe's poorest regions and became a part of Italy in the year 1860. The region is known for its cuisine, peppers, and coastlines!
Calabria is one of the least visited parts of Southern Italy and hence, there is no reason why this place shouldn't be on your list if you have been looking for off-beat vacation destinations. This Italian region has not been commercialized to a great extent due to the fact that people don't visit Calabria as much as they do places like the Amalfi Coast. While we can hardly deny the fact that the Amalfi Coast and the other places like it have a lot to offer, the Calabria region will not disappoint you either. Whether we talk of the delicious pizzas that are cooked in a wood-fired oven or the coastal areas which are a sheer joy to spend an afternoon at, Calabria, Italy, truly is one of the places in the world wherein you will find something that your heart calls out to. There are several places where you can stay. If you want to take some time away from the busy world and spend some time in peace, you can stay in some of the small Calabrian towns where families run bed and breakfasts.
In addition to the region's proximity to the Ionian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea which undoubtedly gives so many possibilities to explore, this Italian region has some of the oldest records of human existence in Italy. This has also led to many Italian-Americans finding their roots in Calabria. If you are also an Italian-American, you may have to ask someone to do some footwork there in order to find your 'famiglia' as well! Keep reading to know more!
Italy sure has a lot to offer and this is one of the reasons why people swarm all over Italy during the tourist seasons. However, there are some places in the Italian peninsula that remain largely unexplored. In essence, those are the places that you should explore first in order to experience the Italian way of life before it has been infiltrated with the need to cater to commercial needs. Calabria is one of those places which offer the authentic Italian experience, and if you happen to know a little Italian, people will be more than happy to open their hearts and homes to you. Why is that great you ask? Well, let's just say that the homemade wine in any Calabrian town will blow your mind!
Calabria, like all places on Earth which are known to have had human existence for a long time, is full of mysteries and possibilities!
Calabrian cuisine is something that keeps tourists coming back for more. The use of fresh ingredients and the fact that there are very few formal restaurant chains in the region is one of the factors which has made sure that the people do not alter their food according to the tourists' taste. As a result, you are sure to get an authentic Calabrian experience each time you eat at a joint!
If we have convinced you to visit this magical place in Southern Italy, let us also tell you what you can do in Calabria apart from eating pizza!
