Calabria & Basilicata

Calabria and Basilicata holidays offer dramatic landscapes, ancient heritage and peaceful escapes. From the rugged coastline of Calabria to the forested mountains of Basilicata, this lesser-known corner of southern Italy is rich in natural beauty and cultural depth.

Explore the unspoilt beaches of Acquafredda di Maratea, with its pebble coves and crystal waters, or wander the hilltop town of Tropea, perched above white sands and turquoise seas. Inland, Basilicata’s Pollino National Park teems with wildlife, lakes and archaeological wonders.

With simple, honest cuisine and welcoming villages, Calabria and Basilicata holidays are ideal for travellers seeking a more authentic and off-the-beaten-track Italian adventure.
