Location

Trebisacce

Sophisticated boutiques, international shops and restaurants dot the tree lined streets of Trebisacce. Recently discovered Bronze Age settlements have been unearthed suggesting that Greek colonists where not the only people to take advantage of this diverse stretch of coastline. Thirty minutes takes you to the Silla Massif mountain range and the area also benefits from fabulous beaches. On the last Sunday of each month all the streets are closed and huge market takes over the town where local farmers sell their mouth watering produce. The area is renowned for its ‘Agrotourism’ a phrase which the Italian government coined to represent a gold standard in high quality, local produce and there are several very good restaurants proudly displaying this. At the south end of the beach the Gelateria (Ice-cream shop) sells around two hundred flavours of ice-cream. A medium sized town with an excellent range of facilities; from schools to hospitals yet still managing to retain its rural Italian feel, a town where you can buy fish on the beach straight from the fishermen fresh from the sea. Trebisacce is sophisticated yet true to its roots.

Cosenza 

Cosenza is the largest of Calabria's provinces with deserted beaches set on a backdrop of the Sila Massif mountain range. Cosenza is often nicknamed 'Little Switzerland' its alpine climate creates a playground for camping, hiking, fishing and sailing. Climb up Mount Botte Donato through Europe's greatest forest wonderland for epic views of both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian sea's or visit the church of San Domenco in the Sila mountain's which has paintings by Calabria's most famous impressionist artist Umberto Bocciono.  

The provincial capital is the city of Cosenza, the largest as you head through northern Calabria. Approaching from the south gives you the most romantic view of the city dominated by the Norman Hohenstaufen castle perched high on the hill. Having been conquered and invaded by Normans, Romans, Greeks and the Spanish its a wonder this historic city still presents some of the most beautiful baroque architecture, as English author George Gissing commented 'to call it picturesque is to use an inadequate word'. Now, Cosenza has become the most important commercial and agricultural centres of Calabria with the seat of the regions newest university on the outskirts of the city.
