senorsoupe Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hoping to take the Mrs. to Calabria next year, it's her ancestral homeland and neither of us have been. Have any P & Bers ever been? If so any suggestions? We have a couple of places we need to visit, one near Reggio and Locri but apart from that I am looking for ideas/tips of interesting places 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I've seen a fair bit of Italy but not made it as far as Calabria, this TV show might give you a few ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtjbhK8Gm5k They start off in Campania then head down to Calabria. Italy is amazing, hope this helps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naples was as far south as I got and I loved it there, it's a brilliantly mad and crazy city with fantastic food and fantastic people so part of our trip will definitely be Naples before trekking further south. Also the Mrs. really wants to go to the ruins of Pompeii so it's a natural place for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Leaving Tuesday to Italy for two weeks! Flying to Rome, have a couple of days there before a few days in Tropea and then Reggio. After that it's back up the boot to Naples before back to Rome to fly back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Have only been here a few hours so far after a couple of days in Rome and I have to say so far it's brilliant. Got to Tropea in time for a late lunch of grilled swordfish that was super fresh, oh and the town is pretty beautiful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Also top tip, when you go to a shop looking for wine in Calabria, ask for Vino Locale. Its in an unmarked bottle, is super cheap (4 euros per liter) and is fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
