Gerace: the medieval city of 100 churches

To reach Gerace it is necessary to make a detour from the route of the cycle path at the crossroads for Canolo. You have to cover 15 km, all downhill, on the outward journey, and although the return will be demanding, the experience is, from our point of view, essential. Gerace is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and has a perfectly preserved and valued historic center, with churches, museums, palaces, artisan shops that will repay any effort. Do not miss a visit to the Civic Museum, Antonella Campisi's fabric workshop, the ceramics workshops and, last but not least, you cannot give up stopping at the bar-pastry shops in the square to enjoy the goodness of the "rafiole", sweet typical, and some magnificent granitas.
