   • In the afternoon, visit the town of Locri and the remains of its glorious past: the Museum and the Greek temple of Marasà.
   • Return to the hotel. 

4. Day 4: Reggio Calabria-Sant'elia-Palmi

   • In the morning, depart for Palmi and visit the Museum of Ethnography and Folklore (House of Culture). 
   • On the way back along the Costa Viola, the coast between Scylla and Palmi, stop on Mount St. Elias to admire the breathtaking landscape on the Tyrrhenian sea: the Strait of Messina, Punta Peloro Capo Milazzo, and the Aeolian Islands.
   • Return to the hotel. 

5. Day 5: Reggio Calabria-Stilo

   • Visit the old town of Stilo and the famous Byzantine Basilica "The Catholic.", dating from the 10th century, one of the most significant symbols of the Basilian monasticism, with its splendid frescoes inside. Today, unfortunately, it is in a precarious state of conservation but equally reminiscent of the profound sacredness and spirituality of the Basilian monks. 
   • Return to the hotel.

6. Day 6:Pizzo-Tropea

   • Depart for Tropea and Pizzo. 
   • Arrive in Pizzo and visit the Church of Piedigrotta, charming and unique, and it is excavated in sandstone, a few meters away from the sea.
   • Visit the Aragonese Castle, infamous for Murat's execution.
   • Continue to Tropea, where you will visit the Cathedral, the main street with its Belvedere over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Saint Mary of the island. 
   • Return to the hotel.

7. Day 7: Reggio Calabria-Gambarie

   • Visit Gambarie on the Aspromonte Mountains. 
   • Here, you can see the "Cippo di Garibaldi", the pine tree where Garibaldi sat when he was wounded. The protected area is the central point of the mountain range, dominated by the peak of Montalto, which with its 1956 meters is the highest peak, one of the most scenic spots. Aspromonte enjoys a very diverse environment where the Mediterranean Maquis gives way to dense forests.
