Awesome tour guide! Learned a lot of history. Had a great time.
We came specially on Tuesday 25 September, supposed to be open, we climbed to the Grotta, but it was closed, no sign downstairs that the place it's closed, very angry about it
Amazing view. You can see the mountains behind and the beach on the distance.
(Translated by Google) A truly fantastic tour for an introduction to caving. There are two routes: one for families and the other for speleology, which will open in September. Everything was well organized, from the road to the site to the cave tour. The highly knowledgeable guide explained the entire history of the mountain with truly interesting anecdotes about the Lombards and Normans who invaded northern Calabria. A must do again! A truly positive experience! (Original) Un tour davvero fantastico per approcciarsi alla speleologia. Ci sono due percorsi quello per le famiglie e quello speleo che aprirà a settembre. Tutto organizzato benissimo, dalla strada per arrivare al loco fino al percorso nella grotta. La guida davvero preparata spiega tutta la storia della montagna con aneddoti davvero curiosi sui Longobardi e Normanni che invasero la Calabria settentrionale.. Da rifare! Esperienza super positiva!
(Translated by Google) We visited the Grotte di Sant'Angelo during an evening event for €5 per person, which included a glass of wine tasting: a truly evocative experience. After being closed for many years, the site has reopened to the public and now offers a well-organized tourist trail, built on metal walkways and equipped with permanent lighting, making exploration simple and safe. A visit to the caves lasts about an hour. From the small parking lot, the entrance is reached by a walk of about 400 meters and an elevation gain of about fifty meters. It's not a long walk, but it's good to know, especially if you have children or mobility issues. Parking spaces are limited, so it's best to arrive early or inquire about a shuttle service. Visits are normally guided only and reservations are required; however, in my case, the event was unguided, which made the atmosphere even more magical. Inside, the temperature remains constant at around 16°C, with very high humidity: a light sweatshirt is recommended, even in summer. It would also be helpful to bring protective helmets, as it's easy to bump your head in some places. The limestone formations, the spacious rooms, and the interplay of light offer a spectacular view. The beauty of the place more than makes up for the effort of the climb. It's a fascinating place, combining nature, history, and atmosphere. I highly recommend booking in advance, both to secure a spot and to avoid finding it closed. (Original) Abbiamo visitato le Grotte di Sant’Angelo in occasione di un evento serale al costo di 5 euro a persona, comprensivo di un calice di vino in degustazione: un’esperienza davvero suggestiva. Dopo molti anni di chiusura, il sito ha riaperto al pubblico e oggi si presenta con un percorso turistico ben organizzato, realizzato su passerelle metalliche e dotato di illuminazione fissa, che rende l’esplorazione semplice e sicura. La visita alle grotte dura circa un’ora. Dal piccolo parcheggio si raggiunge l’ingresso con una camminata di circa 400 metri e un dislivello di una cinquantina di metri in salita. Non è un tragitto lungo, ma è bene saperlo, soprattutto se si hanno bambini o difficoltà motorie. I posti auto sono limitati, quindi conviene arrivare in anticipo o informarsi sull’eventuale servizio navetta. Normalmente le visite si svolgono esclusivamente con guida e su prenotazione obbligatoria; nel mio caso, invece, l’evento era senza guida, cosa che ha reso l’atmosfera ancora più magica. All’interno la temperatura si mantiene costante intorno ai 16 °C, con umidità molto elevata: una felpa leggera è consigliata anche in estate. Sarebbe inoltre utile fornire caschi protettivi, perché in alcuni punti è facile urtare la testa. Le formazioni calcaree, le ampie sale e i giochi di luce offrono un colpo d’occhio spettacolare. La bellezza del luogo ripaga ampiamente la fatica della salita. Si tratta di un posto affascinante, capace di unire natura, storia e atmosfera. Consiglio vivamente di prenotare in anticipo, sia per assicurarsi il posto, sia per evitare di trovare chiuso.
(Translated by Google) These caves are truly beautiful to visit. They recently reopened after being closed for many years and are easily accessible via a metal walkway. Guided tours are available only, and advance reservations are required. From the small parking lot to the cave entrance, there's a bit of a climb, which becomes quite challenging in the heat. Furthermore, you can't pay with debit or credit cards. The guide was truly friendly and knowledgeable. (Original) Queste grotte sono veramente molto belle da visitare, hanno riaperto da poco dopo molti anni di chiusura e sono facilmente accessibili con un percorso su passerelle metalliche. Si possono fare solo visite guidate ed è necessario prenotare in anticipo. Dal piccolo posteggio per arrivare all'ingresso delle grotte c'è da fare un po' di strada in salita che con il caldo diventa abbastanza impegnativo, inoltre non si può pagare con bancomat o carte. La guida era veramente molto simpatica e preparata.
(Translated by Google) Recently reopened after a long closure, they're definitely worth a visit. They're not huge and can be explored in a short amount of time, but they're rich in history. For those who enjoy slightly more extreme visits, there's a speleological trail, but you need to book and check beforehand, as it's not possible all year round. I recommend bringing cash to pay for your ticket, as digital payments aren't accepted until at least mid-August. However, I recommend calling to book and ask. Enjoy your walk. (Original) Riaperte da poco dopo un lungo periodo di chiusura meritano assolutamente di essere viste. Non sono grandissime si visitano in poco tempo ma sono ricche di storia. Per gli amanti delle visite un po’ più estreme è possibile fare il percorso speleologico occorre però prenotare e verificare perché non è possibile farlo in ogni l’omento dell’anno. Vi consiglio di munirvi anche di liquidi per pagare il biglietto perché non sono possibili almeno fino alla metà di agosto pagamenti digitali vi consiglio Comunque di chiamare per prenotare e chiedere. Buona passeggiata
(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful cave, well worth a visit. The guide who accompanied us on the excursion was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the details, engaging the children. (Original) È una bellissima grotta, ne vale la pena visitarla. La guida che ci accompagnato durante l' escursione è molto preparata e disponibile nelle illustrazioni dei particolari coinvolgendo i bambini.

This museum is fabulous! Interesting exhibits, interactive learning, and some totally AWESOME videos with the history of Sybaris! Great job to the team that made these videos
Interesting and informative videos inside about the history of Sibari. Highly recommend
Compared to other museum we visited, we really enjoyed stopping here. At the last floor they have an interactive exhibition about olive oil that’s great for children.
Excellent museum, can be visited in 1-2 hours. Has great multimedia rooms with videos and activities especially designed for children. Don't miss the archaeological site, it's included in the ticket.
It is amazing immersion in the Greek history and their attempt to create a democratic designed city in which cultural inclusivity was a priority.
Fantastic insight to the ancient inhabitants of this land. Loved it.
Great exhibition with jewels from diferent periodes...always improving with new discovers! Visit it with a guide, he best way!
Simply amazing. A trip of over 3,000 years back in time to see how our ancestors had a rather developed spiritual life. Incredible is also the evidence if their mancraftship. In my 46 years i have been here 4 times. Today i took my parents.

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were attentive and warm, ready to chat. Everything arrived promptly between courses. The appetizers, not only beautifully presented with seasonal fruits, but also had a balanced and succulent flavor. The first courses were rich in premium flavor, made with fresh, locally caught ingredients. The pasta was delicious, perfectly cooked, and we also sampled some excellent traditional Calabrian house liqueurs. Without a doubt, the best restaurant on the coast. (Original) Ambiente accogliente e personale attento e caloroso disponibile al dialogo. Tutto è arrivato in tempi brevi tra una portata e l'altra. L'antipasto oltre ad avere un bel aspetto arricchito con frutti di stagione aveva un sapore equilibrato e succulento. I primi erano ricchi di gusto di prima qualità con ingredienti freschi appena pescati. Buona la pasta cotta al punto giusto, infine, abbiamo assaggiato ottimi liquori di tradizione calabrese della casa. Senza alcun dubbio il miglior ristorante della costa.
(Translated by Google) This summer, we were delighted to return to Lido La Playa del Sol, and once again it was an excellent experience. The facility is meticulously maintained, with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and punctual and efficient service. Special thanks to the owners, Lilla and Franco, for their kindness, helpfulness, and extraordinary ability to make everyone feel at home. Their passion is evident everywhere. Kudos also to all the staff: professional, friendly, and always attentive to guests' needs. We also greatly appreciated the playground: safe, well-maintained, and perfect for keeping the little ones entertained in complete tranquility. Clean beach, enchanting sea, family atmosphere, and quality services: the ideal place for a perfect vacation. Highly recommended! (Original) Anche quest’estate siamo tornati con gioia al Lido La Playa del Sol, e ancora una volta è stata un’esperienza eccellente. La struttura è curata in ogni dettaglio, l’ambiente accogliente e rilassato, i servizi puntuali ed efficienti. Un ringraziamento speciale ai proprietari, Lilla e Franco, per la loro gentilezza, disponibilità e straordinaria capacità di far sentire tutti a casa. La loro passione si percepisce ovunque. Un plauso anche a tutto lo staff: professionale, cordiale e sempre attento alle esigenze degli ospiti. Abbiamo apprezzato tantissimo anche il parco giochi: sicuro, ben tenuto e perfetto per far divertire i più piccoli in totale tranquillità. Spiaggia pulita, mare incantevole, atmosfera familiare e servizi di qualità: il posto ideale per una vacanza perfetta. Consigliatissimo!
(Translated by Google) A restaurant on the beach where you can breathe the sea and simplicity, with fresh and carefully prepared dishes that speak of passion and territory. A special thanks to Lilla and Franco for the warm welcome and cordiality that really make the difference. A place to return to willingly. (Original) Un ristorante sulla spiaggia dove si respira mare e semplicità, con piatti freschi e curati che parlano di passione e territorio. Un grazie speciale a Lilla e Franco per l’accoglienza calorosa e la cordialità che fanno davvero la differenza. Un posto in cui tornare volentieri.
(Translated by Google) €25 for a fried dish with 3 shrimp and 4 calamari rings. No more than 200g of product, costing €125/kg. Measly portions and exorbitant prices. If you want to avoid paying a fortune for nothing, look elsewhere! (Original) 25€ una frittura con n.3 gamberetti e n. 4 anelli di calamari. Non più di 200g di prodotto con un costo di 125€/kg. Porzioni misere e costi esorbitanti. Se volete evitare di pagare un salasso per mangiare niente cercate un altro posto!
(Translated by Google) Expensive restaurant but really great dishes with fresh ingredients! For example a plate of spaghetti with clams 20 euros, cover 3 euros. Playground on the sand in front, great for parents who want to eat in peace (Original) Ristorante costoso ma piatti davvero ottimi con ingredienti freschi! Ad esempio piatto di spaghetti alle vongole 20 euro, coperto 3 euro. Parco giochi sulla sabbia antistante, ottimo per i genitori che vogliono mangiare tranquilli
(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well-organized beach, where you can spend a day in peace. Excellent restaurant, the best of all the beaches on the Ionian coast of Cosenza. Today, a spectacular lunch. Appetizer of mussels sautéed with pachino and yellow cherry tomatoes, fried anchovies "scattiate" (seasoned with pepper powder) and octopus salad with blackberries, blueberries and pomegranate. Followed by square spaghetti with clams. Finally, a taste of fried (dry) squid and very fresh prawns. All washed down with a Madre Goccia Cantina Iuzzolini. Welcoming and competent staff. Franco the owner is a gentleman. His wife Lilla is an excellent cook. Not to be missed. Without taking into account the fantastic beach and a spectacular sea. (Original) Lido bello ed organizzato, ove è possibile trascorrere una giornata in tranquillità. Ristorante eccellente, il migliore di tutti i lidi della costa ionica cosentina. Oggi pranzo spettacolare. Antipasto a base di soutè di cozze con pachino e pomodorini gialli, alici fritte "scattiate" (ossia condite con peperone in polvere) e insalata di polipo con more, mirtilli e melograno. A seguire spaghettone quadrato alle vongole veraci. Infine assaggino di frittura (asciutta) di totani e gamberi freschissimi. Il tutto innaffiato con un Madre Goccia Cantina Iuzzolini. Personale accogliente e competente. Franco il titolare un signore. La moglie Lilla cuoca eccelsa. Da non perdere. Senza tener conto del Lido fantastico ed un mare spettacolare.
(Translated by Google) Wonderful place, exquisite and high-quality dishes taken care of down to the smallest details, impeccable service. (Original) Posto meraviglio, i piatti squisiti e di alta qualità curati nei minimi dettagli ,servizio impeccabile.

Very nice beach, quite quiet and friendly. Comfortable and new recliners, good parking and good bar.
Sandy beach with a free area which is nice. beach chairs r rather expensive (20 euros for 2 without an ombrello on a windy day) and the area around it is filled with trash. There is also some friendly wildlife around, but almost no shells
The young staff is not really helpful. I ordered a coffee and got the bad looks. Why am I bothering them when they are on the phone? Anyway, I drinked my coffee and left. I'm not coming back. But the complex looks nice and clean.
Small lido, quite basic facilities. It is the only lido in this stretch of coast line, which may explain the high price to rent a sunbed and umbrella. We were charged 20 euro for two sunbeds and an umbrella even though we arrived at 14.30. usually in Italy there is a lower price if you rent these beach items for half a day. We couldn't check as no prices are advertised or shown for renting sunbeds. Anyway there has been an increase in prices this summer in Italy but you can definitely find more acceptable prices elsewhere.
Calm place, with friendly staff

A great home full of history and artifact. Try to go visit this place, it's magical but don't take my word for it, go see it and have Pasquale tell you the story of the objects saved in it.
(Translated by Google) A noble palace from the 19th century, located on the Palluce hill in the historic center of the city of Cassano. The palace via Fora is a house museum and a socio-cultural association, which also works with tourism by offering a visit inside the palace and the rest of the historic center. Fantastic experience, walking through history to remember how we were. (Original) Un palazzo gentilizio del 1800, posto sul colle palluce nel centro storico della città di Cassano. Il palazzo via Fora e una casa museo e un'associazione socioculturale, che lavoro anche con il turismo offrendo una visita all'interno del palazzo e nel resto del centro storico. Esperienza fantastica, camminare nella storia per ricordare come eravamo.
(Translated by Google) Nice from the outside, but closed to the public. (Original) Bello dall'esterno, ma chiuso al pubblico.

Fantastic place run by even more fantastic people. Highly recommended!
(Translated by Google) Professionalism and courtesy are the watchwords, the tranquility you can find here is unique. Lifeguards always vigilant. Well-stocked bar, good pizza. I recommend it for a quick meal and for a good romantic dinner. Trust it easily and you won't regret it (Original) Professionalità e cortesia è la parola d'ordine la tranquillità che puoi trovare qui è unica.Bagnini sempre vigili. Bar ben fornito,buona la pizza . Lo consiglio per un pasto veloce e per una buona cena romantica Affidatevi tranquillamente e non ve né pentirete
(Translated by Google) When I'm in Calabria in the summer, I always come to the Le Bruscate Blu beach (Ionian Coast, province of Cosenza). It has all the essential amenities of a beach (parking, bar, restaurant/pizzeria, lifeguards, and of course umbrellas with deckchairs and loungers, pedal boats, restrooms, showers, and private changing rooms). The sandy beach is huge and clean, and the sea is beautiful. Ideal for adults and children. Perhaps teenagers would benefit from some attractions that aren't available, but if you're looking for tranquility, it's perfect. (Original) Quando sono in Calabria in Estate, vengo sempre al lido Le Bruscate Blu (Costa Jonica, provincia di Cosenza). Ci sono tutti i servizi essenziali di un lido (parcheggio. bar, ristorante-pizzeria, bagnini, naturalmente ombrelloni con sdraio e lettini, pedalò, bagni, docce e spogliatoi privati), la spiaggia (di sabbia) è immensa e pulita, il mare molto bello. Ideale per adulti e bambini, forse per i teenager ci vorrebbero attrazioni che non ci sono, ma se si cerca tranquillità è proprio ideale.
(Translated by Google) Well served and complete. A 70s establishment that maintains its charm. Don't change it. The only flaw is the coffee. You can't drink. To be improved. (Original) Ben servito e completo. Uno stabilimento anni '70 che mantiene il suo fascino. Non cambiatelo. Unica pecca il caffè. Non si può bere. Da migliorare.
(Translated by Google) SEA, SUN AND CRTESIA! This establishment welcomes you and pampers you from the first moment with the courtesy and friendliness of Luana and her boys who take good care of the ticket office, the bar, the restaurant rather than the beach: a loud round of applause to Daniel and Martina, Alba , Ardiana, Giuseppe, Luigi and all the others. The beach is really wide, clean and well organised. The umbrellas are far from each other and...the sea is splendid! The bar also offers the opportunity to nibble on something for a quick snack... the coffee from a local roastery is excellent. Those who want to delight in tasty dishes can sit and have lunch at the restaurant which also prepares excellent pizzas cooked in a wood oven. Balanced prices. Parking is facilitated by a wide availability of covered spaces. We always come back with great pleasure. Tullio and Fabiola (Original) MARE, SOLE E CRTESIA! Questo stabilimento ti accoglie e ti coccola fin dal primo momento con la cortesia e la simpatia di Luana e dei suoi ragazzi che si prendono buona cura della biglietteria, del bar, del ristorante piuttosto che della spiaggia: un forte applauso a Daniel e Martina, Alba, Ardiana, Giuseppe, Luigi e tutti gli altri. La spiaggia è davvero ampia, pulita e ben organizzata. Gli ombrelloni sono distanti gli uni dagli altri e...il mare è splendido! Il bar offre anche la possibilità di sgranocchiare qualcosa per uno spuntino veloce...ottimo il caffè di una torrefazione locale. Chi vuole deliziarsi con gustose pietanze può sedersi e pranzare al ristorante che prepara anche delle eccellenti pizze cotte nel forno a legna. Prezzi equilibrati. Il parcheggio è facilitato da un'ampia disponibilità di posti coperti. Torniamo sempre con grande piacere. Tullio e Fabiola
(Translated by Google) The beach is comfortable because the umbrellas are wide apart from each other so they are comfortable, the restaurant is self-service but the food is good PS: The other years were not from the service, I only have two photos but I think they are fine (Original) Il lido è comodo perché gli ombrelloni sono ben larghi l'uno dal l'altro quindi sono comodi, il ristorante è self service ma si mangia bene PS: Gli altri anni non era del service, ho solo due foto ma credo vadano bene
(Translated by Google) The Nicolaus Beach is immense, well organised, clean, with excellent bather assistance. (Original) La spiaggia del Nicolaus Beach è immensa, ben organizzata,pulita, con un'ottima assistenza dei bagnanti.
