Lamezia Terme is located in southern Italy's beautiful Calabria region, which occupies the narrow sliver of land that seperates the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas. Renting a car at Lamezia Terme Airport is the best way of getting around this rural part of Italy, which can be windswept and rugged mountain terrain in places.

Located at the southern end of the Apennines lies Calabria's Asporomonte National Park, which boasts many impressive peaks approaching the 2,000 meters above sea level mark, among them Montalto just shy of 2,000 meters. Asporomonte National Park is home to many endangered species, among them the eagle owl and Bonelli's Eagle. Beech marten, black squirrels, badgers and hares, wild boar and rare wild cats are also at home here. But there are also important plants and trees that the national park is protecting, among them black pines, strawberry trees and holm oaks. If you love hiking and mountain biking, Asporomonte National Park is a must-see on a visit to Calabria.

The city of Reggio Calabria is only a short distance from Lamezia Terme and has many cultural attractions to offer, among them the city's lovely botanical gardens. First created by the Economic and Agrarian Society in 1850 as private gardens, Reggio Calabria's botanical gardens saw many transformations. In 1896 the gardens were finally opened to the public. A few years later, in 1907, the botanical gardens were visited by King Vittorio Emanuele III himself. He was present when a bronze bust of King Umberto I was unveiled, which the sculptor Concesso Barca had created. Since then, locals have referred to the botanical gardens as Umberto I Park. The famous statue stands at the park's entrance, on the Corso Garibaldi side.

The bronze set a theme for the rest of the park. Today there are many statues commemorating important former citizens of Reggio Calabria, among them bronze busts and statues of Domenico Trepepi, Rocco Zerbi and Antonio Plutino.

Reggio Calabria also has an important museum to offer, the National Museum of Magna Grecia, where visitors can explore Calabria's prehistory. The region has been inhabited for millennia and there are many archaeological finds from thousands of years ago that show what life must have been like in this part of Italy back then. Among them is a stunning example of cave art: an image of an ox, originally discovered inside a cave called the Romito di Papasidero. But there are also finds from the Bronze Age, axes for example, and funerary artifacts used for burials in the tombs in Calanna. Many of these archaeological finds tell a story of Calabria's colonisation by ancient Greek peoples. Vibo Valentia and Rosarno provinces started off as such settlements, but were called Medma and Hipponion in antiquity.

Modern Reggio Calabria presents visitors with plenty of choices with regard to shopping and dining and entertainments. The city's restaurants are justly praised for their excellent regional cuisine.
