"La Costa degli Dei"(The Coast of the Gods).

This stunning unspoilt coastline from Pizzo to Nicotera combines the most famous bathing areas in Calabria’s touristic panorama with a region steeped in culture, history and exquisite local cuisine. From the Serre Mountains to the white sandy beaches, the Coast of the Gods is literally heavenly! Sample the varied culinary delights of the local produce, discover the region’s rich history which stretches back to before the Phoenicians through to the Greeks, Romans, Saracens and the Normans, or simply soak up the vibrant Italian Calabrese culture and the Mediterranean sun.

Tropea, the undisputed pearl of the Tyrrenhian coast is the architectural and historic focal point for a region of breathtaking beauty. The majestic old town looks out over the crystal-clear blue sea and white pearl beaches. Its enchanting streets, walkways and piazzas are dotted with ancient churches, impressive facades of the houses of Roman noblemen and many quaint pizzerias and Italian bistros. The Santa Maria dell’Isola, one of the towns many highlights, was a Benedictine sanctuary of the early Middle Ages and sits atop a rock just metres off shore. On a clear day the seaward views draw the eye to the Stromboli Volcano in the distance, enhancing the picturesque skyline. In January 2007, Tropea featured Nº1 in the Sunday Times Top 20 Beach destinations and only recently Thompson Holidays is the first tour operator to have taken over a hotel in this once undiscovered Calabrian paradise.

Upturn in the South

Southern Italy has been the poorer cousin to the much richer North, similar to the Spain of 30 years ago. Despite being the 3rd richest country in the Eurozone after Germany and France, the South has remained largely underdeveloped. This however, is set to change. Italy’s government under Romano Prodi aims at investing 100€ billion in the south from European Union and national funds in a 2007-2013 plan, closing the gap between the industrial wealthy North and the historically under funded South. Local and regional authorities also recognise the growth potential that tourism and property investment can bring and infrastructure, transport and communications have been steadily improving over recent years. With the advent of Budget airline flights and the emerging profile of the region’s tourist attractions Calabria is set to grow. Italy has commonly been seen as too an expensive destination for British foreign home buyers who have traditionally purchased holiday homes in France and Spain. Property investors have been attracted to ‘high risk’ destinations such as Bulgaria and Morocco.

The established security of a 1st world economy combined with the glorious Mediterranean climate, the rich cultural heritage and the growing tourist market distinguishes Calabria has the perfect investment for a foreign holiday home. Purchasers can expect to see the value of their property rise steadily over the years to come and buy to let holiday home investors can expect increasing returns with which to finance the perfect escape destination they have longed after.
