Monte Poro is one of the most fascinating areas of the Calabrian hinterland and represents an unmissable destination for trekking lovers. Located in the area between Tropea, Zambrone and the gulf of Sant’Eufemia, this plateau rises to around 700 meters above sea level, offering spectacular views of the sea and the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands on the clearest days. From the BV Kalafiorita Resort, in Marina di Zambrone, you can easily reach it by car or with organized excursions, turning the day into an unforgettable adventure.
A paradise for outdoor lovers
Trekking in Monte Poro offers a unique experience, combining nature, culture and local traditions. The paths wind through varied landscapes: cultivated fields, oak and chestnut woods, pastures where grazing flocks meet and small rural villages.
During the route, the scent of the mountain air mixes with that of the aromatic herbs typical of the Mediterranean scrub, while the panorama opens onto stretches of wild coast and the intense blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Itineraries for all levels
Monte Poro offers routes suitable for every type of hiker. There are short and undemanding paths, ideal for families or for those who want to take a relaxing walk, and longer and more technical routes, designed for expert trekkers looking for challenges. Some itineraries lead to spectacular panoramic points, from which it is possible to admire breathtaking sunsets with the sun setting behind the Stromboli.
A much loved excursion is the one that starts from the village of Spilinga, famous for the ‘nduja, and goes through hills and valleys until reaching the top of the mountain.
Between nature and tradition
In addition to its natural beauty, Monte Poro is rich in historical and cultural testimonies. Along the paths you come across ancient water mills, old farms and small rural churches. The area is also renowned for its typical products, such as pecorino cheese, extra virgin olive oil and local cured meats. Often, during excursions, you have the opportunity to stop at farms and taste these specialties, transforming trekking into a 360-degree sensorial experience.
