Alan Rogers Review
Calabria was immortalised in the drawings of Edward Lear who, travelling on a donkey in 1847, was transfixed by the landscape. Camping Pineta di Sibari is on the Ionian Sea coast and provides 500 touring pitches, all with electricity (3-6A), under pine and eucalyptus trees. Most are of average size and many have sea views. The large sandy beach stretches for miles in both directions and the backdrop is the mountains of the Pollino National Park. This is a rural area and is away from the industrial areas found further south along this coast. Karin Rudolph runs a happy site where peace and quiet are prime features.
Location
Getting there...
Take SS106 south towards Reggio Calabria. South of Trebisacce take Villapiana Scalo exit (third Villapiana exit). Turn right along the coast road (SS106R), then left at sign for site and go over level crossing. To avoid narrow tunnel on this road (only 2.8 m. headroom), after level crossing turn right and go straight on as road bears left. Site is 700 m. down this road.
