Preparing your trip to Calabria: advices & hints - things to do and to obey

1. The region has fairly hot summers and snowy winters. Fans of beach tourism are recommended to plan vacations in summer months, and fans of excursions and hiking are advised to rest in the off-season, when the weather is not so sultry.
2. Shoppers should pay attention not only to numerous souvenir shops, but also to outfit stores. You can buy clothes and accessories of excellent quality for excellent prices; several times a year large shopping malls have large sales. It’s worth to go to larger cities in the region in search of the best fashionable clothes.
3. Travelers who expect to bring many exciting holiday gifts are recommended to buy local liqueurs, Limoncelllo and Cedro. These drinks are served chilled.
4. Mains voltage is 230 V; before you go be sure to check appliances for compatibility.
5. Those who expect to make calls to other cities and countries frequently would find street payphones to be a real salvation. They accept special cards, which can be bought at any newspaper shop or press stall. In this case the price of call would be the best; budget travelers have to opt out of calling from the hotel.
