Lamezia Terme was formed in 1968 thanks to the unification of three separate towns in the Province of Catanzaro: Nicastro, Sanbiase and Sant'Eufemia. It is the central part of Calabria, a zone celebrated for its beautiful landscapes. The city is found between the cliffs of the Tyrrenhian coast and the sand dunes of the Ionic coast and just to the south of the Sila, a sort of Alpine range in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Lamezia Terme is closely associated with the sea. The town is surrounded by white and unpolluted beaches and beautiful bays both of the tyrrenian (to the west) and the Jonio side (to the east). Moreover, the upper plain of the Sila to the north with its stunning mountains and alpine landscape is rich in forests and lakes. In the area around Lamezia Terme there are also important artistic sites and Greek, Norman and Roman temples as well as palaces from the Bourbon times, can be found across the region.
The coastal road between Pizzo Calabro to Capo Vaticano – called Costa degli Dei, Gods' Coast - through Tropea is one of the most beautiful in Italy and the latter town is famous for its characteristic town centre which looks out spectacularly onto the sea. The local cuisine is interesting and rich and largely undiscovered.
