The region of Calabria lies in the extreme south of the mainland and forms the tip of the Italian boot.

The area covers an area of around 9300 square miles and has almost two million inhabitants, 91,000 of whom have settled in the capital Catanzaro.

Calabria is divided into five provinces. The metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria lies on the southern tip and is home to over 560,000 people. Calabria borders the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Ionian Sea to the east.

The region is mainly determined by agriculture, especially olives, citrus fruits and various types of fruit grow on the fertile soils.

Calabria is separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, which is only about three kilometres wide at its narrowest point.

Climate in Calabria

Calabria is one of the sunniest regions in Europe. With 320 sunny days a year, you will find a Mediterranean to subtropical climate, which is characterised by low rainfall, hot temperatures and mild winters. However, there are quite different regional climatic conditions here. In the Ionian Sea it is very hot and dry in the summer months, even at night it usually does not get cooler than 20 °C.

In Reggio Calabria on the west coast of Calabria, temperatures rise to over 20 °C in April and peak in July and August at over 30 °C. Precipitation here is often close to zero. In October, temperatures drop to around 23 °C and precipitation increases noticeably at the same time. Up to 2.83 in can be reached by the end of the year.

When to travel to Calabria?

The best time to travel in Calabria is the summer months from the beginning of June to mid-October. During this time, water temperatures of well over 23 °C offer ideal conditions for extensive bathing and beach holidays. Long days with up to 11 hours of sunshine flatter the dream region and offer you a variety of excursions and activities.

Whether long walks on the beach, hiking and cycling tours or relaxing sunbathing – Calabria is a true holiday paradise in summer! The evening hours are also ideal for a cosy end to the day in one of the many cafés and restaurants. If you want to make your holiday a little more active, the autumn and winter months are recommended. Here the temperatures are somewhat milder and nothing stands in the way of extensive trekking tours.
