Benvenuti a Reggio Calabria! thrilled to be at the “toe” of the Italian boot. Located right on the coast with front-row seats looking across the water at Sicily and Mount Etna.
Lungomare Falcomatà (The Promenade) – Italian writer Gabriele D’Annunzio famously called this stretch “the most beautiful kilometer in Italy.”
A gorgeous, tree-lined seaside promenade perfect for a romantic walk. On clear days, Mount Etna rises majestically on the other shore
2. The National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria (MArRC) – One of the most important museums in Italy, housing a massive collection of ancient Greek artifacts.
The crown jewel of the museum is : The world-famous Bronzes of Riace (Bronzi di Riace). These are two breathtaking, life-sized bronze statues of Greek warriors from the 5th century BC, discovered perfectly preserved at the bottom of the sea in 1972.
The museum regulates temperature and humidity, so visitors enter the Bronze room in small groups via a decontamination chamber
Corso Garibaldi – The main artery of Reggio Calabria, running completely parallel to the sea.
A vibrant, pedestrian-only shopping street lined with beautiful 19th-century buildings, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.
Villa Genoese Zerbi,
Built in Neo-Gothic style in 1925
This conclude this short stay at the tip of Italy….. We survived another very hot day in Italy!!
