Hidden away in the small peninsula towards the south of Italy, Vibo Valentia is often forgotten about in the search for a classic Italian getaway. Those that do visit the spectacular landscape and mesmerising architecture are almost relieved that few know about the city’s allure – the more space to enjoy the landmarks and walking trails – the better the experience. Part of the charm lies in the city’s dexterity; thick forestry allows ardent hikers to challenge themselves against the arduous, yet beautiful terrain, whilst history lovers can peruse the incredible buildings that symbolise the antiquity belonging to the region. There is a semblance of religious history in many of the more striking edifices, especially the Convento Santuario San Domenico and Duomo di Santa Maria Maggiore e San Leoluca which are both breathtakingly beautiful pieces of work. For an insight into the protective forces belonging to Vibo Valentia, a few castles and ancient ruins showcase the impressive structures which were in place for many centuries.
The city is relatively small and compact so the city centre can be covered almost entirely by foot.
Panarea is like a dormant volcano for three quarters of the year that roars into life during the glorious summer months. Head there in the winter and most places will be closed, yet when the sun shines down on the glamourous bars and boutique stores it transforms into a flourishing hub of fashionistas and bourgeoisie. Many tourists come for only a day or two to bask in the shamelessly lavish lifestyle that is synonymous with the island; luxury yachts line the harbour and exquisite sea food is served at the extravagant restaurants. With little to do and even less to see, the island is predominantly used as a getaway for rich jetsetters that long for an escape from the strains and stress of the modern day. Only 300 people reside there permanently, so Italy’s most elegant and fashionable region can oftentimes feel like a secret party where many don’t receive an invite. However, the beauty and style of Panarea is definitely worth sampling, even for only a few days.
The island is car-free, therefore the only viable option is to travel by foot. Most of the restaurants, hotels and bars are located in fairly close proximity, so it is a comfortable stroll for most journeys.
