The remote and poor region of Calabria (the toe of Italy's boot) is little-known to tourists and property investors. Calabria offers a glimpse of a different Italy, as well as memories of more illustrious times some 2000 years ago. Calabria was part of Magna Graecia, the site of rich and powerful Greek colonies, recorded by artefacts such as the famous Riace bronze statues, recovered from the sea and now in the Museo Nazionale of Reggio di Calabria.

The Calabria area is characterized by mountains full of remote villages with much rural charm and history as dwellings of the local Mafia. The region's larger towns are mostly modern, however the small villages are far more interesting to investigate and return to a different way of life, much lost in modern citys.
