Cariati, Coastal municipality in Province of Cosenza, Italy
Cariati extends between a hilltop section called Superiore and a coastal area known as Marina along the Ionian Sea in Calabria region.
The town developed during medieval times as a strategic settlement, with defensive structures built to protect maritime trade routes along the Calabrian coast.
November celebrations honor Saint Leonard of Noblac with processions through streets decorated with traditional Calabrian tapestries and local music performances.
Local transportation connects the town's two sections, with regular bus services running between Cariati Superiore and Cariati Marina throughout the day.
The local economy combines traditional fishing practices in the Marina district with olive oil production in the elevated agricultural areas of Superiore.
