Sellia Marina is a small municipality situated on the Ionian coast in the province of Catanzaro. With its crystal clear sea, it is an important seaside resort equipped with good services and all kinds of amenities for tourists. Once only the holiday playground of I talians visiting from the Nor th, now the secret is out and Sellia Marina is set to become more and more popular with visitors from across Europe and Russia.
Crotone
Crotone is at the same time a seaside and agricultural town. These two aspects interlace and produce exclusive gastronomic specialties such as the Mustica or the Sardella bottled in oil and hot pepper and other spices. In Crotone and along the coast, fish cooked in several ways is a main course. The “cavatelli”, a kind of homemade “orecchiette” seasoned with gravy and grated ripe cheese, are a characteristic and tasty dish. Crotone and its neighborhood are rich in vines of noble and old origins, the wines produced are well known all over the world. They are Cirò and Melissa, two inimitable red wines, sweet-smelling and strong table wines. Cirò has two variations: the rose and the white wine. Cirò, the gods' wine, was offered after the Olympic Games to the winners.
Capo Rizzuto
The Marine Natural Reserve of "Capo Rizzuto" covers an area of about 14,721 hectares and extends itself for 40 km of coast. The Protected Marine Area consists of eight promontories: the first one is that of Capo Colonna, with the temple dedicated to the goddess Hera Lacinia, while the last one is Le Castella. It is a stretch of Mediterranean Sea characterized by the variety of natural environments and by the particular geomorphology of the coast. In 1982 this area, which is considered of particular environmental interest, was placed among the 21 protected areas or reserves to be created in Italy. And finally, on 27th December 1991 the Riserva Naturale Marina "Capo Rizzuto" has been established: from Capo Colonna to Barco Vercillo.
Capo Colonna
A worthwhile excursion from Crotone is to the famed column at Capo Colonna on Calabria's extreme eastern point, for which you have to drive or walk 11 km. along the coast. The column is a solitary remnant of a vast structure which served as the temple for all the Greeks in Calabria.
Traditional events
The most traditional feasts in the area are two. The first one is the Feast of the Madonna of Capo colonna that takes place in spring. The second one is the Feast of Magna Graecia that takes place in summer. However, the hinterland of Crotone is rich in traditions. The Upper Ionian of Crotone, in fact, gives hospitality to the Albanian community of Pallagorio, S. Nicola del’ Alto and Carfizzi, where year by year old religious rites are repeated
