Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local Calabrian cuisine, which includes dishes like 'nduja, a spicy spreadable salami, and swordfish. Be prepared for siesta time, as many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon. It is always a good idea to carry cash as some smaller establishments may not accept credit cards. Learn a few basic Italian phrases to help communicate with locals. Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly when visiting churches or religious sites.
