Laghetto Rumia

Highlight • Lake

Artificial lake in Aspromonte, a well-known hiking destination, near the town of Gambarie. There is a small grocery store on the lake side, and in the spring/summer period you can enjoy sandwiches with tasty local products.

View from Gambarie

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from Gambarie is breathtaking. The place is at over 1,300 meters above sea level and you have an unobstructed view of the sea - more precisely of the Strait of Messina - and of Sicily.

Chianalea of Scilla

Highlight • Settlement

Although it is a Strada Statale, there was little traffic. Wonderful coastline from Bagnara Calabra ibs to Villa San Gionvanni.
