Perhaps it's fitting that Calabria is often called the toe of Italy, the region on the map that appears to be kicking Sicily.
For generations it has, with some justification, felt trodden underfoot, looked down upon by fellow Italians and ignored by tourists.

And last autumn Ryanair appeared to turn its back on the region too by cancelling all its direct flights from the UK.

Calabria is not among Italy’s wealthier regions and it is not a tourist hotspot, lacking the culture of Florence, the history of Rome or the fashion of Milan.

Yet many visitors who come once come again. Because this is one of few places in
the country where one can savour pure, unspoilt Italy.

Now Ryanair is back too. The demand from passengers proved too high to ignore and new flights have been rescheduled for Saturdays and Tuesdays.

Calabria always offers beautiful Italian properties at reasonable prices. Here are some of them:
