South Italy and most of its little villages, is an area so little known to the European tourism yet in a delightful land wealthy of natural beauties, such as the Arch of Arcomagno, a natural arch of rock, entrance to an attractive coved beach,  with calm turquoise sea; the Faraglioni of Capri, beautiful sea rocks in the sea of Capri, one of many in the Amalfi Coast; or the Etna Volcano, still active and one of Sicily's biggest tourist attractions. History and architecture are also very important factors of southern Italy's culture and tourist attractions, like the temple ruins of Agrigento - Sicily; Capri offering one of Italy's most beautiful piazzas (town square) in the middle of town, Piazzetta, completely closed up, giving the impression of a courtyard, surrounded by many shops and cafes and the Torre dell'Orologio (Tower of Clock); or the over 40 mt. high statue of the Christ in Maratea situated on a hill over 300 mt. high offering a most breath-taking site over the port of Maratea. Another great piece of southern Italy history, from Calabria to be exact, is the Bronzi di Riace: two magnificent bronze, human-size, male statues, found in the gulf of Riace, now showing in the museum of Reggio Calabria, representing the Greek conception of heroism and beauty for their classical composure and dynamic vitality.
Great tourist attractions for both rural and coastal holidays are also the town of Rivello, based on the graceful Basilicata mountains with its typical hystorical houses that can be found in all old parts of most of southern Italy's towns, and the Trulli, typical Apulia houses with cone shaped roofs. Not to mention the delicious cuisine and friendly people, all part of a world waiting to be explored and taken advantage of.

Scilla- Travel and Holiday to south Italy, accommodation by the sea or rural

SCILLA - CALABRIA - SOUTH ITALY

Reggio Calabria, whose origins date back to the VII Century B.C., was one of the most important Greek colonies, together with Crotone and Sibari. Among Pine trees, orange groves and palm trees, Greek ruins, cyclopics walls, roman roads and walls are evidence of the existence of Reggio Calabria's great past. Visit the National Museum where artistic treasures of inestimable value are kept, together with the two bronze statues of Riace - Greek masterpieces found in the waters of Riace in August 1972. Visit to the Aragonese castle, the cathedral and the church of Ottimati.
On the return journey it is possible to admire the Calabrian Tyrrhenian coastline, which is so breathtakingly varied, the sandy beaches of the "Violet Coast" give way to the steep rocky coastline of Scilla and Bagnara. The picturesque town of Scilla has mythical origins. In Roman times the Ottaviano fleet harboured in the waters of Scilla. In times of the Saracens, Scilla was destroyed, but then became a harbouring place under the Angioins dominion. The area of coastline from Scilla to Bagnara is the "kingdom" of the sword-fish fishermen. Sword-fish fishing is a custom with antique origins, dating back to the Phoenicians. Departure for Palmi further north. Visit to the important museum of folklore and ethnology. Return journey to Scalea.
