Travelogues Calabria

Since the weather on the rather northern Adriatic coast wasn't expected to be great, we sped down the highway towards Taranto and parked for the night at a hidden beach with an...

...this is the motto for the next 1-2 weeks. On Monday, Cindy and Bert arrived at the campsite in Isola di Capo Rizzuto and will practice doing “nothing”. There’s no...

Just four kilometers further, we find a new place at Koku's Camping in Stignano. And here we feel comfortable. It is bright, open, and not cramped at all. Although there are...

For one night, we are parked in a parking lot, not very nice, but manageable. Just across is Sicily. Almost like in Lassan 😉 Tomorrow, we want to go to Reggio Calabria. Reggio...

We are checking in for two nights at Zio Tom. Next to it, there is a parking space that looks open, but you need to be aware of it. Zio Tom is doing everything right in terms of...

Wow, where do we even begin...? We have collected so many incredible impressions over the past few days. And as Reto said so beautifully: That's where the boss stays... Let's...

Our home for three nights is Camping Scogliera at Capo Vaticano. We are located on a dreamlike beach with Caribbean white sand, along with three other German campers. From here,...

So, now I'm here at the top! Upwards we go again, and with warnings from police officers and other Italians, I will make a nice big detour around Naples later! So here I am...

Italians and their sweets in the morning! The ignoble Gaijin caused quite a stir in the coffee! Yesterday I asked the hostel owner if it's okay for me to have something proper...

The last post is already a week ago. Time flies and we experience a beautiful Italy every day, which always surprises us. But one thing at a time. On 18.04.2023 we drove many...

We had Camping Afrodite in Caulonia Marina on our radar already last year. It is said to be nice and has a very friendly owner. The man is truly very kind. Less than half an...

After a winding drive, we find a nice spot on the beach of Praia a Mare. Right "in front of the house" of the Torre di Fiuzzi and the Isola di Dino. We spend a quiet night and...

We change the Italian side and drive to Tropea. According to the travel guide, this is the pearl of southern Italy. The old town is built directly on the rocks and is really...

The journey to Tropea was extremely tricky. There are one-way streets everywhere or it is closed to vehicles over 3.5 tons. My driver was visibly and loudly annoyed 🙉 when...

Today the sun is shining, but it is windy. We are taking the bikes out for the first time. We need bread. The supermarket is not far, so I ride off. After the underpass, there's a...

Last night in Taranto was very restless. It stormed so much that I got up to see if it was the sea. And we had to flee. It was just rain. That’s why we are switching to the...

Most beautiful village in Italy in 2022.

According to legend, around the year 1600 there was a shipwreck. The sailors prayed in their distress and vowed to build a church if they were saved. The ship sank,...

After a night between the sea and the railway, we travel to Pizzo. The little town is said to have a beautiful old town. Based on our experiences with narrow streets, we park by...

Arriving at the bottom of the boot, specifically at the "vault", we find a great spot with palm trees directly on the sandy beach. It's wonderfully warm and Schnuffi gets...

We drive along the coast to Joppolo, there to the district Corizzi, which is characterized by the fact that it has a dead-end with parking down by the sea. From here on it's...

Viaggio da Bari attraverso la Basilicata e la Calabria fino in Sicilia. Sosta per una notte nella vecchia cittadina di montagna di Morano Calabro. Poi continuare verso sud....

In Calabria, we drive to Bagnara Calabra. The houses in the old town are built closely together on the cliffs. The small town can be explored on foot quickly. ...

Finally, in Calabria we want to switch sides to the Gulf of Taranto. To do this, we choose to go through the Sila National Park. A wooded area that includes Lake Arvo. Beautiful...

30.09.24 - Locality Piana di Vadi We use this day to cover a good distance. From the campsite Riva di Ugento, we drove to the restaurant La Perla di Golfo, nearly 450km in about...

By the rain back into the sun and a wonderful beach parking space right by the sea for the night. With beautiful sunset and sunrise.
