Cruise from Reggio Calabria

Reggio Calabria is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, between the sea, which tempers the temperatures, and the mountains. It borders the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, the Ionian Sea to the south and east, and the province of Catanzaro to the north. The country has the highest population density in the region.
The territory is characterized by its long coastline and its nearby mountains. In fact, on the beach, in the bathing establishments located on the Falcomatà waterfront, it is possible to reach the mountains of Aspromonte.
The area is distinguished by the dense chestnut, oak and white fir forests, beeches, in rotation with olive and vine cultivation, ancient streams covered with brooms, ferns, strawberry trees, myrtles, prickly pears and oleanders. The coast, between Villa S. Giovanni and Gioiosa Ionica, is the most suitable natural habitat for growing bergamot.

Beyond the private beaches, along the coast, you will find the Zerbi municipal lido, home to many shows, performances and exhibitions. This lido in particular also hosts the splendid Nervi tower, a circular architectural structure designed by the architect Pier Luigi Nervi.
In Reggio Calabria you will find two famous universities: the "Mediterranea" (founded in 1968) and the "Dante Alighieri" (founded in 1984), as well as one of the most important national archaeological museums in Italy, where the famous Bronzes of Riace are exhibited, which have become a symbol of the city, the Cathedral, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1908, and the remains of the 16th century castle.
Finally, the Gioia Tauro area has a great assortment of evocative landscapes and is popular for its typical production of clementines. The plain includes very fertile land, thanks to the reclamation undertaken by the Marquis Vito Nunziante which took place in 1818 and preserved in the following decades.
