(PRWEB) May 16, 2008 -- Calabria is an area steeped in history - flagged by aging ruins of ancient Roman, Greek, Norman and Byzantine times - and punctuated by dazzling scenery in all directions.

You would be forgiven for expecting Calabria, Italy to have been a popular tourist destination for many years. However, the temptation of rugged coasts and snow-capped mountains has only recently been opened up to tourists from outside Italy when the area's Lamezia airport grew to international stature in 2006, accepting flights from London Stanstead, London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

As a new emerging market to tourists and investors alike, what has Calabria got that sets it apart from other Italian destinations? With white sanded beaches and miles of dramatic coastline, Calabria can stand its own amongst popular beachside destinations but it is this subtle beauty combined with the history of the place that makes the area a firm favourite with holidaying Italians. The local national Museum of Greater Greece holds a collection of Greek and Roman statues, including the famous Riace bronzes, which brings history to life and highlights an interesting past of Calabrian life. This past also lives on in certain Greek-speaking villages of the region.

Calabria is home to great wildlife and the vast national parks of Aspromonte and Sila are also home to certain rare species too, such as Bonelli's eagle. Not only this but with a dramatic climate to match of hot sun-filled summer days and the snowy mountains of the winter time, the area offers an all-round experience for the discerning traveler.
