Places to Visit

Whoever reaches Santa Caterina dello Ionio in the province of Catanzaro is immediately offered a spectacular view, like finding oneself on an amazing sea-view terrace that embraces the Ionian sea from the Gulf of Squillace up to the most extreme point of the peninsula.
Santa Caterina dello Ionio is about seven kilometres away from the coast. Long stretches of fine white sandy beaches are defined by rocky promontories and plunging cliffs with wide steep terraces that overlook the crystal-clear sea.
The historical town and the area that surrounds it have successfully conserved an authentic sense of southern Italy and offer a glimpse of a different Italy as well as memories of more illustrious times some 2000 years ago.
Santa Caterina has maintained its medieval town plan,with houses built on top of one another, laden with numerous monuments, churches and aristocratic buildings that have splendid portals sculpted out of local stone, making it irresistible from a cultural, historical or architectural point of view.
Bathed by the Mediterranean on both sides of the province, both the Ionian and the Tyrennaen seas are easily reachable and between the coasts the territory is dominated by mountains with imposing forests allowing for an almost alpine setting.
Santa Caterina is situated under the mountains of the Serre which connect the National Parks of Aspromonte and Sila piccola.
The tourist information office at the Botteghe del Medico offers a vast choice of activities and excursions to enjoy in the surrounding territory. From boat trips, historical visits, wine routes, archeology sites to hill walking, trekking, diving and relic exploration.
