Up to a few decades ago, Calabria was known to just a few visitors in search of unspoilt countryside, mountains, and sea. It was not until the early 80’s that a significant number of people began discovering the attractions of the region. It was in those years that on the coast of Riace fishermen found two bronze statues, presumably representing slaves and dating back to the hellenic period. News of the discovery quickly spread world wide and a stream of tourists began to visit the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria to admire the marvellous and unique “Bronzi di Riace” as the statues became known.
From then onwards the incredible beauty of Calabria became known to the world.
A land of a thousand surprises, Calabria’s enchanting landscape extends from the clear blue seas to the luscious green countryside and on to the wooded mountain slopes.
