The Sibaritide, stretching between the Ionian Sea and the Pollino mountains, is a land of history, culture, and natural charm. In Rossano, visitors can explore the Amarelli Palace and Licorice Museum, tasting centuries of artisanal tradition, and admire the UNESCO-listed Codex Purpureus Rossanensis – a 6th-century illuminated Greek Gospel manuscript, one of the oldest surviving examples of Byzantine biblical art – at the Diocesan Museum.

Sybaris Archaeological Park and National Museum showcase ancient Greek and Roman ruins, while the Pollino National Park features dramatic scenery and italo-albanian villages like Civita and sweeping views of the Raganello Gorges. Adventure seekers to this area can go rafting, families can relax on the sandy Ionian coast, and food lovers can savor specialties such as licorice, citrus, chestnuts, and cheeses – something for everyone.
