Day 1 - Arrival and Archeological Wonders
We'll kickstart our Italian adventure right in the heart of Reggio di Calabria at our lovely hotel. Freshen up, have a hearty breakfast, and get ready for a deep dive into the past. First stop, Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? It's the treasure house of the famous Riace Warriors, two yes, you heard it right, two full-size Greek bronzes that were discovered in the sea! After feasting our eyes on the past, we'll take our taste buds on a journey to a truly Italian experience at local trattoria. Who's up for some tantalizing Calabrian cuisine?
Day 2 - Touching the Peak and Sun-kissed beaches

Scilla is more than just a beach. It's a place of legends and dreamy seascapes. And let's not forget about dinner at a fisherman’s tavern, where you can try freshly caught swordfish. Seen enough sea? Let's head uphill. Aspromonte National Park welcomes us with its majestic peaks. Ever fancied lungfuls of fresh mountain air? Here's your chance! A day that starts with the melody of the waves and ends to the rhythm of the wild- it's La Dolce Vita indeed.
Day 3 - Exploring the City's Crown Jewels
On the final day, let the rhythm of the city guide your steps. Fancy a morning stroll with freshly brewed coffee on Corso Garibaldi, the city’s bustling artery? The myriad sidewalk cafes are perfect for people watching. Don't miss the Teatro Franesco Cilea for a touch of grandeur. Remember to pick up some ‘nduja, a traditional spicy spreadable sausage, and Bergamot oil, a local treasure, from street-side shops. But what about ending the journey on a high note with a panoramic city view? Castello Aragonese is the place, offering unforgettable sunsets over the Strait of Messina. So, are we ready to take on the last day of La Dolce Vita?
