It's gorgeous, yet underrated.
Calabria (Like a lot of Southern Italy and Sicily) was actually founded and extensively colonized by Greek settlers. It later became a part of the Roman Republic though.

I'm going to try to make it to Europe this summer. My work situation pretty much allows me to be where I ever I want as long as I have internet access.

Holland and Italy are two priorities
