Discover the Secrets of Calabria
Calabria Small Group Tour – Calabria is the Italy many travelers never reach, a sunlit region shaped by farming traditions, deep cultural roots, and some of the most striking landscapes in the country. Mountain ranges rise above quiet villages where daily life follows rhythms that have lasted for generations, and the coastline opens into clear water, fishing harbors, and towns painted in soft terracotta tones. The region’s character reflects the many cultures that have lived here, from Greek settlers to Albanian communities, creating a blend of language, food, and customs that feels both familiar and completely its own.
This small group journey gives you the chance to experience Calabria in a way that stays with you long after you return home. Days are filled with moments that bring the region into focus, whether it is tasting local dishes made with Calabrian olive oil and pepperoncini, meeting families who continue centuries-old traditions, or seeing works of ancient Greek art that stand among Italy’s greatest treasures. Time in the mountains balances time by the sea, and each stop reveals another part of Calabria’s personality, from Altomonte’s quiet charm to the coastal beauty of Pizzo and Tropea. Traveling here offers something rare in modern Italy: a sense of authenticity and welcome that feels truly special.

Breathtaking Calabria
Just wanted to say a big thank you for one of the best tours we have ever been on. We saw a side of Calabria we could never have imagined and Luca our guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable. We meet lovely sisters Mary and Christina and we could not have asked for a better couple of people to see this truely hidden gem. Being children of Calabrian parents I wish they could have seen Calabria like this as well. Aldo & Katrin thank you again, will definitely book again with you!!
Backroad Calabria
It has been a month since our Calabria tour and I am still reliving the memories in my mind! Once again Secret Italia made sure the hotels and activities were top notch! We love the fact that the hotels on your tour are not big hotels and they have the unique qualities of the surrounding area! They were charming and the service was wonderful. The hospitality was exceptional at the Barbieri Hotel! The daily itinerary had some amazing sites, especially the Devil Bridge! What an experience riding off-road to get there. We had so much fun that day. Your tours always include interesting places. They are not just the typical tourist places. And the food! The sweet peppers and onions of Calabria were my favorite. Each meal we had was better than the last. All of the restaurants were high quality. We were so very lucky to have our favorite tour guide Luca to show us the wonders of Calabria! He is so knowledgeable and gives such insight into the culture! Luca is the best!
Secret Italia does not disappoint! You continue to offer varied and interesting small group travel tours and I hope to travel with Secret Italia in the future!
