Although Calabria is mainly associated with beaches and the Tyrrhenian Sea, the region also conceals extraordinary mountainous areas. One of these is the Pollino National Park – the largest national park in Italy.
It extends across Calabria and Basilicata, offering hundreds of kilometres of walking and cycling trails. It is an ideal place for those looking for an active holiday and contact with nature.
The symbol of the park is the Bosnian pine, which grows on hard-to-reach mountain slopes. Some of these trees are even several hundred years old.
Pollino delights with the diversity of its landscapes. In a single day, you can admire deep canyons, vast valleys and peaks reaching over 2,200 metres above sea level.
For property owners in Scalea, it is an excellent day trip destination. The park shows that Calabria offers much more than just a seaside holiday.
