After many years working as a flight attendant and receptionist, I decided to turn my passion for travel, history, and people into something more personal: sharing my love for this wonderful land with visitors from all over the world. I was born and raised in Rome, but I moved to Calabria for love and chose to make this sunny, fascinating region my home. Calabria captured my heart with its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, ancient traditions, and the warmth of its people. I studied Cultural Heritage at university, and a few years ago I finally began working as a licensed tour guide. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing travelers to the authentic beauty of Calabria, helping them discover not only its most famous places, but also its hidden treasures, stories, traditions, and unique character. For me, being a tour guide is much more than showing places—it is about sharing emotions, stories, and a genuine love for the land I have chosen as my home.

Overview of your Scilla tour

Discover Scilla, one of Calabria’s most enchanting seaside towns, where ancient legends, turquoise waters and authentic coastal life come together. We’ll start at the Belvedere, with its evocative statue of Scilla and the beautiful Church of San Rocco, patron saint of the town. From here, we’ll enjoy spectacular views before heading into the village. Scilla has been a strategic spot since Greek times and is still linked to the legendary sea monster that inspired its name. Rising dramatically above the town is the majestic Ruffo Castle. We’ll then explore Chianalea, a charming fishing village known as the “Little Venice of the Tyrrhenian Sea,” where colorful houses meet the water and fishing boats line the shore. Along the way, we’ll cool off with a refreshing bergamot drink or gelato, made with Calabria’s iconic citrus fruit. Want to stay longer? Finish with a traditional seafood meal and local wine at a family-run restaurant by the sea.
