Travel guide Kalabrien & Basilikata 8.A 2023

Calabria and Basilicata, the two regions at the southernmost tip of the Italian boot, have a total of 900 kilometers of coastline, partly surrounded by beautiful beaches and picturesque seaside resorts. The interior offers fascinating mountain landscapes and varied vegetation, and in many places you can find impressive architectural evidence of centuries of history. Nevertheless, neither Calabria nor Basilicata are among the tourist strongholds of "Bel Paese". However, that should hardly diminish their charm, on the contrary: if you want to get to know a piece of authentic Italy and experience the original hospitality, this is exactly the right place. Annette Krus-Bonazza, who has been touring the area for many years, has collected such a wealth of detailed information that you are always well informed, even in the most remote corners.
