Cheap holidays to Calabria, Italy

For a slice of Italy that is off the beaten track, consider cheap holiday deals to Calabria. Located at the "toe" of Italy, it is a long and narrow peninsula made up of mountains and hills, and coastal towns. The towns are charming, offering delicious local cuisine including freshly-caught seafood, and meats such as lamb, goat and pork from the local farms. The national speciality of pasta is of course a given, but local foodstuffs include cured meats and fish, and more than a hint of spice. The nearby beaches are idyllic, with turquoise Mediterranean waters, and the hills and mountains offer fantastic views. In particular, the southwest coast of Calabria offers spectacular views across the Straits of Messina to neighbouring Sicily. Further north, the beautiful and historic town of Tropea is renowned for its stunning beaches with clear seas. This region is scattered with dozens of attractions, from museums to castles, and architecture ranging from art nouveau to ancient Roman. Yet it is not really a tourist hotspot, so the atmosphere is relaxed and the people welcoming.
