Calabria, Administrative region in Southern Italy.

The region stretches across 15,222 square kilometers between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas, forming the toe of the Italian peninsula.

Ancient Greek settlers established colonies in Calabria during the 8th century BC, founding cities like Locri, Sybaris, and Kroton along the coastline.

The Calabrian territory contains three national parks - Pollino, Sila, and Aspromonte - each preserving distinct ecological systems and mountain landscapes.

The Mediterranean climate varies between coastal areas and mountain regions, with hot summers near the sea and snow-covered winters in the elevated zones.

The Giants of Sila, located in the dense forests of the region, rank among the tallest and oldest trees in Italy.
