South Italy and most of its little villages, is an area so little known to the European tourism yet in a delightful land wealthy of natural beauties, such as the Arch of Arcomagno, a natural arch of rock, entrance to an attractive coved beach,  with calm turquoise sea; the Faraglioni of Capri, beautiful sea rocks in the sea of Capri, one of many in the Amalfi Coast; or the Etna Volcano, still active and one of Sicily's biggest tourist attractions. History and architecture are also very important factors of southern Italy's culture and tourist attractions, like the temple ruins of Agrigento - Sicily; Capri offering one of Italy's most beautiful piazzas (town square) in the middle of town, Piazzetta, completely closed up, giving the impression of a courtyard, surrounded by many shops and cafes and the Torre dell'Orologio (Tower of Clock); or the over 40 mt. high statue of the Christ in Maratea situated on a hill over 300 mt. high offering a most breath-taking site over the port of Maratea. Another great piece of southern Italy history, from Calabria to be exact, is the Bronzi di Riace: two magnificent bronze, human-size, male statues, found in the gulf of Riace, now showing in the museum of Reggio Calabria, representing the Greek conception of heroism and beauty for their classical composure and dynamic vitality.
Great tourist attractions for both rural and coastal holidays are also the town of Rivello, based on the graceful Basilicata mountains with its typical hystorical houses that can be found in all old parts of most of southern Italy's towns, and the Trulli, typical Apulia houses with cone shaped roofs. Not to mention the delicious cuisine and friendly people, all part of a world waiting to be explored and taken advantage of.

Paola - Travel and Holiday to south Italy, accommodation by the sea or rural

PAOLA - CALABRIA- SOUTH ITALY

Paola sits on the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, north of Lamezia Terme, and due west from Cosenza. It is a delightful, airy town, with a modern, seaside ambience along its lungomare, but in its older, higher quarters inland from the shore, it has an ancient, medieval atmosphere as well.

Paola is one of the Tyrrehnian Coast's busiest sea-side centres and easily accessible by car, boat or train.
Locating Paola is easy as it is well marked and well-serviced by railroads, highways and boat. Exploring the town itself may be somewhat difficult for first time visitors. Opt for leaving your car at the Sanctuary and walking down through the town to get acquainted.
The local people are proud of the fact that their city is the birthplace of San Francesco di Paola (1416-1507), founder of the Minims, the strictest order of the Franciscans. Indeed, Paola is a place that has developed and continues to retain a deeply religious aspect and those travelers who enjoy visiting churches and other religious buildings, have plenty to see in Paola.

The Santuario di San Francesco, dates from 1435 and is fronted by a long piazza with a modern statue and obelisk commemorating the Holy Year of 1950.
