Italy's hidden treasure For years Italy’s sun-drenched deep south has remained a well-kept secret amongst Italian holidaymakers. Now however, the secret is out – with more and more people discovering its sandy beaches, clear aquamarine waters, and overwhelming sense of space and relaxation. Lying at the heart of it all is the wonderful area of Calabria… Calabria Often labelled ‘undiscovered Italy’, Calabria is without doubt one of the country’s hidden treasures. Set in the southern most region, where the toe meets Sicily, it’s as diverse as it is unspoilt. Sun-worshippers come to laze the day away on the pristine white beaches and play in warm shimmering waters, outdoor-types to explore the many coastal and mountain paths, others to discover the region’s rich culture and history. There’s even the chance to take to the slopes of central Calabria’s mountainous region in winter months for a day’s skiing. And as you might expect of a region surrounded by sea on three sides, Calabria also offers a fabulous array of fresh seafood – delicious when served with one of the many local wines.
