Calabria Attractions

 
The region of Calabria occupies the southwest of the peninsula, the toe of the Italian boot, between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas.

The region is traversed by the Calabrian Apennines - three massive ranges of granite and gneiss belonging to an ancient mountain rump. In the north is the Sila (Botte Donato, 1,930m/6,369ft) and in the south the Aspromonte range (Montalto, 1,956m/6,455ft), separated by an expanse of low-lying land, once marshy and malaria-ridden, which is caught between the Golfo di Squillace and the Golfo di Santa Eufemia. Along the west coast of northern Calabria, separated from the Sila by the fertile Crati valley, extends the Calabrian Coastal Chain (Catena Costiera), falling down to the sea in precipitous cliffs.
