The basics

Lamezia Terme (SUF) is Calabria's main airport, centrally located on the coast. Ryanair connections to northern Italy and Europe. The gateway to the Tyrrhenian Riviera (Tropea, Pizzo, Capo Vaticano) and inland Calabria (Cosenza, Sila National Park).

Getting around

To Lamezia city: Bus or taxi (โ‚ฌ15-20, 10 min). The city itself is not a tourist destination.

To Tropea (50 min): Train from Lamezia Centrale station (connected to airport by shuttle) to Tropea (โ‚ฌ4-6, 50 min). Or rent a car (45 min drive). Tropea is Calabria's star โ€” clifftop old town, turquoise sea, the best 'nduja in the world.

To Cosenza (60 min): Train or bus from Lamezia Centrale. Gateway to the Sila mountains.

Rent a car: Calabria's public transport is limited. A car opens up the entire coast and mountains. Roads are good (A2 autostrada runs through). Book at the airport for the best rates.

๐Ÿ’ก Calabria is Italy's best-value region. Beaches rivaling Sardinia, mountains rivaling the Dolomites, food that Puglia envies โ€” at 30-50% less than comparable destinations. Lamezia is the starting point for exploring Italy's last undiscovered region.
