If you choose to arrive on your own, you will receive all the useful information for the meeting about 3 days before, including location, time and supplier contact.

What will you do

A walking tour in Pentedattilo among a ghost village, legends, and landscapes sculpted by time, where the hand-shaped cliff and the trails of Aspromonte tell the story of an ancient, suspended Calabria.

Start experience

Entrance to the abandoned village of Pentedattilo, at the foot of Monte Calvario, with an introduction to the history and legend of the five-fingered rock. Walk through the lanes of the ghost town, immersed in a unique setting of rock and silence.

Key moment

Descent along country paths and crossing rural landscapes among terraced fields and waterways. The route continues toward the Rocche di Santa Lena, spectacular natural formations shaped by time. Along the way, panoramic views of the Aspromonte and the Ionian coast alternate, with narration about Grecanic culture and the traces left by humans in the area.

Return

Return along the trail, arriving back at the starting point in time for a packed lunch. Upon request, it is possible to book a restaurant in the area. An intense experience among nature, history, and the deeper Calabrian identity.

The magic castle of Pentedattilo

Stefania has been a fantastic guide and a wonderful company at this incredibly beautiful and romantic place. We had a true meeting of minds and plan to stay in touch with her and recommend this tour to others.
