Have you ever heard of the 'Little Venice' of the South? Well, whether it's the first time you've heard this nickname or not, today our journey to the most shining gems of Italy takes us to Calabria discovering Chianalea, a beautiful seaside village with an ancient history and irresistible Mediterranean charm - it is no coincidence that CNN has included it among the most beautiful Italian villages to visit.

Better known by the full name of Chianalea di Scilla, as it is actually the oldest area of the well-known tourist location, this picturesque seaside town, nestled between the waters of the Strait of Messina and the lush nature of Aspromonte, is a little paradise to discover for a holiday in the most authentic south. Come on, set off with us!
