CalabriaCalabria is the tipof the Italian peninsula; it borders with Basilicata and stretches between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ionian Sea in the directionof Sicily, from which it is divided by the Strait of Messina. Geographically, Calabria has its own distinct individuality, compared with the rest of Italy, due to its almost isolated position, its characteristic conformation and morphological structure. The latter is quite complex. Most of mountains are massifs and isolated groups, separated by large valleys. |
