Girifalco, between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas
Girifalco is a village in Calabria located in the heart of the Isthmus of Catanzaro, the narrowest point in Italy. Perched on a rocky outcrop to escape Saracen pirates, its historic centre welcomes you with characteristic alleyways and little squares, where the striking Devil’s Fountain stands out as a fine example of Baroque architecture. One local curiosity not to miss? Brasilena, a 100% local drink that wonderfully replaces Coca-Cola. You have to taste it to believe it!
