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.
Salina is an explorer’s paradise. Freshwater springs, verdant foliage and towering cliffs define the landscape, offering a myriad of naturally inviting colours and contrasts. The mixture of autumnal yellows and dark greens exude a tropical vibe, enhanced by the grape vines that decorate much of the imposing mountainside, winding down into the azure blue water of the Mediterranean Sea. The coastline is dominated by greenery and bushes, yet if you were to head to the centre of the island, the terrain completely changes; two extinct volcanoes mould the island, protecting the outlying villages from extreme modernisation and allowing them to maintain their authenticity. For much of the year the island remains fairly quiet – the streets are sparse and there are always tables free at the restaurants and bars – if they’re even open. Yet when the calendar swings round to the summer months, the island murmurs into a vibrant hub, especially around the port area where many of the hotels and amenities are based. Away from the harbour, Salina still appears disconnected from much of the world - just sit back and enjoy the peace.
There is a regular bus service in operation around the villages, and many roads accessible by cars. Much of the popular areas are compact enough to traverse by foot.
