“Show and Tell”: Calabria

The region of Calabria, in southern Italy, is off-the-radar for most visitors to Italy but  check out these photos from Liz Knight, a Nashville native on her second stint living in Italy, and you’ll be packing your bags! Liz is an attorney, travel writer, and stand-up comedian with Rome’s Comedy Club, and blogs at RomeIfYouWantTo.com but had spent last summer in Calabria. And yes, she is planning to be back there again this summer.

6 Favorite Photos of Calabria

1. Boring umbrellas just won’t do for this colorful rocky and sandy beach near Tropea.

2. Not that Calabresi need an excuse to congregate in the Piazza, but the Tartufo Gelato Festival in Pizzo was this night’s reason.

3. The water changes from green to blue and back with each step at a sandy beach near Tropea.

4. Sunset in front of the Stromboli volcano – erupting!

5. Afternoon light in Zambrone.

6. The Tyrrhenian Sea in the morning.
