Discovering Gerace

The experience includes departure from your hotel or summer residence along the Riviera dei Gelsomini to reach Gerace, recognized as one of Italy's most beautiful villages. The tour follows an itinerary that takes in the main monuments and panoramic viewpoints of the medieval historic center.
The tour begins at the highest point of the village, near the ruins of the ancient castle, which probably dates back to the 7th century AD. From Piazzale del Baglio, along Via Duomo, you will reach the medieval heart of the village and the Basilica Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, a testament to the different cultures that have characterized the history of Gerace over the centuries.
The tour continues with a walk through the characteristic streets of the historic village, offering the opportunity to visit some of the most significant religious buildings in the area. A key stop on the excursion is Piazza del Tocco, an ideal place to stop for those who want to taste a granita prepared according to local tradition. A short distance from the square is the famous Porta del Sole, which opens onto a particularly evocative panoramic view of the Riviera dei Gelsomini. The Bombarde terrace is a privileged vantage point from which to admire a large stretch of the Calabrian Ionian coast, offering a view that encompasses kilometers of coastline and allows visitors to appreciate the beauty of the area's marine and hilly landscape.
The experience can be enriched, upon request at the time of booking, by the assistance of a qualified tour guide who accompanies visitors in discovering the historical and cultural heritage of the village. It is also possible to combine the excursion with a Jeep Safari dedicated to exploring Aspromonte and the National Park, for a more complete experience of the Calabrian territory.
