Neighborhood Must-Sees
Scalea is a beautiful seaside town in Calabria!
My place is located in the city centre where it is steps to the beach, restaurants, grocery, beach, shopping and train station. No car necessary.
Calabria is a gorgeous and affordable region, especially for us retirees on a budget, and I have been privileged to meet the friendly locals and explore beautiful small towns with magnificent architecture such as ancient palazzos and breathtaking beaches.
The food is exquisite in Southern Italy, as there is cuisine that is unique to that region. It is here where I first tasted N'duja, a spicy, spreadable made with pork, and seasoned with local Calabrian spices.
Nduja – famous spicy sausage spread. Cipolla Rossa di Tropea – sweet red onions unique to Calabria. Fresh seafood, especially swordfish and anchovies. Fileja pasta with tomato and sausage sauces. Tartufo di Pizzo – Calabria's famous chocolate-filled ice cream dessert
Every dish there is not watered down and geared to tourists' palates, like Rome, Venice or Florence. Rather, every dish is an untampered and holy culinary work of art, ready to be devoured.
On my short but regular visits there, I've mastered the train, getting around and practiced my Italian with the very patient locals.
I've had the privilege of visiting the different beaches in each town and shopping in stores that carried beautiful, artisan clothing and goods. They were bona fide made in Italy for the discerning Italian clientele. They much prefer high quality locally sourced goods, rather than mass produced, generic paraphernalia that is often seen in tourist traps.
Getting Around
No car is necessary. Walking distance to everything. The train will take you to the KH. But the brothers will come and pick you up as the KH is in a rural area with no lights.
There's a local car rental available and the owners will kindly come and pick you up from my apartment.

Scalea, Calabria, Italy
I'm a mature sister who has lived abroad internationally, loves travel and have had the privilege meeting the Friends all over the world.
I love classical books, historical books. My favorite destination was Istanbul, Turkey and Italy of course! I don't watch TV except a few cooking shows. I love pasta, lots of it!
I discovered this beautiful region of Southern Italy and fell in love with the area.
It's off the beaten track, yet it's touristy and has an authentic feel, but affordable. I'm not a strict planner but love to discover random places.
I don't purchase much but I appreciate classical architecture and cultural regional events. Experiences are more important to me than material acquisitions.
My health is not the best so I'd like to reduce my working hours for The More Important Things. So this apartment is ideal for a supplemental income.
