Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No railway up the hill; Locri on the Ionian line sits 10 km below, with thin local buses and taxis covering the climb.
Tickets · local buses from Locri
The Norman hill town is one of Calabria's treasures: cathedral, borgo lanes and long Ionian views, all on foot once up
Tickets in Locri bars where sold; taxis by arrangement.
Validate when boarding.
On foot
- ·The largest Romanesque cathedral in Calabria anchors the upper town; the belvederes drop to the Ionian on both sides
Taxis and driving
- ·Honestly the practical answer: the climb from Locri takes 15 minutes by car against a thin bus timetable
