~ With Messina and Taormina ~

Reggio Calabria, Messina, Taormina, Caulonia,

Gerace, Tropea, Siderno Marina

~ 7 Days ~

 

The toe of Italy's boot...is the mythical Region of Calabria, or as we call it, the Kingdom of the Sun.  On its west side, it is lapped by the immemorial waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea, cruising waters of Ulysses and his Argonauts, and on its east side, by the shimmering waters of the fabled Ionian Sea. This is more than South of Rome...this is another world, once the homeland of Italy's earliest peoples, then of the Greeks whose Calabria colonies were an important part of Magna Grecia, then of the Romans, Byzantines, Normans, Spanish, French and host of others.  Calabria is a multilayered place of historical fact, myth and magic.
