What will you do
An experience in Cerchiara di Calabria among the tradition of bread, spirituality, and the legends of the Pollino, where the village and the landscape become a single story made of culture, faith, and local identity.

Start experience

A village that deserves to be discovered
We did not know Cerchiara and it really surprised us. The visit is well organized and allows you to understand the history of the town and its traditions. The freshly baked bread was exceptional and the Sanctuary is a place that conveys a great sense of serenity. Recommended experience.

A Calabria that I didn't know
This tour made me discover a completely different side of Calabria compared to its sea. Cerchiara preserves an authentic identity, and the guide managed to tell its story with great passion. The Sanctuary nestled in the mountain is truly suggestive.

Very pleasant
An interesting walk in a village rich in history. I especially appreciated the traditional oven and the story of the ancient bread-making methods. I would have dedicated a few more minutes to visiting the historic center, but overall it was a very beautiful experience.
