The 5 best things about Lamezia Terme

1. The beaches

The town is surrounded by beautiful sun bleached beaches that sit pretty on the pristine Tyrrhenian Sea. You’ll enjoy swimming in secluded sandy bays, relaxing, soaking up the daytime rays and the evening’s incredible sunsets.

2. The beauty of God’s Coast

The coastal road that runs from Lamezia down to Capo Vaticano is known as God’s Coast and it’s easy to see why; the road twists and turns as you wind your way along dramatic cliffs that plunge straight down to the vivid blue sea below.

Some of the best property in Calabria can be found along this beautiful stretch of coastline, from Lamezia itself through to Pizzo, Tropea and Capo Vaticano.

3. The old town

Nicastro is the oldest part of Lamezia Terme, while away the days here exploring the wonderful cathedral, the impressive remains of the Barbarossa Castle and the Archaeological Museum, ending in Italian tradition with a cool drink in a pavement café or long delicious meal in one of Nicastro’s excellent restaurants.

4. The food

Lamezia’s markets are groaning with local produce and the town’s restaurants serve up hearty fare of the region. Be sure to try the filling antipasti and Calabria’s famous spicy charcuterie as well as traditional Italian pizza, pasta and fresh fish dishes.

5. The shopping

One of the largest commercial centres in Calabria, Lamezia will provide all you need by way of shops; from high fashion boutiques like Prada and Armani in central Lamezia to excellent furniture outlets in the large shopping complex just out of town, indispensable if you own property in Calabria.

If you like the sound of Lamezia Terme, you might also like Pizzo, Tropea and Capo Vaticano.
