Calabria Seaside Hotels

A good place to start in Calabria is the dominant city in the region, both in terms of age and population. Reggio Calabria is on a strait across from Sicily and boasts a desirable panoramic view of the brilliant seaside. Vivid Art Nouveau masterpieces line the labyrintine streets and fuse with almost 3,000 years of history. Cosenza is a town replete with exquisite architecture and museums, from the Church of San Domenico to Hohenstaufen Castle and the Accademia Cosentina. Catanzaro, the capital of Calabria, is also worth a visit, if only for the lovely promenade on the Ionian Sea and historic town center. Other destinations of note on the Calabrian seaside include Squillace, Soverato and Tropea.
