Location

Amantea

Amantea ranks high on the list of Calabria's prettiest towns. It is also one of the region's most historically fascinating and unique. Long before the Romans and even the Greeks, Amantea has served as an important historical area. Dozens of Bronze and Iron Age artifacts have been discovered in and around the mouth of the river Savuto which opens to the sea, near to Amantea's port. In modern day Amantea the city is essentially divided into two sections.

The historical centre (Paese) of Amantea is located on the hill above the “new” Marina town where shops, restaurants and piazzas line the main boulevard, with beautiful sandy beaches in front. Amantea is easily accessed from Lamezia Terme International Airport and has a journey time of approximately 45 minutes, making it ideal for a weekend break.

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 Domenico 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 it's 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.
