Endless beaches, always flat and crystal clear sea. Montepaone Lido is a small seaside town in Calabria in the Gulf of Squillace halfway between Catanzaro and Soverato, an ideal destination for low-cost summer holidays dedicated to swimming and games on the beach. Here there is no need to wake up at dawn to have a place by the sea: the free beaches wind for kilometers and kilometers and in the cooler hours of the day they come alive with spontaneous soccer tournaments, beach volleyball and beach volleyball.
The peculiarity of Montepaone is a crystal clear blue sea, swept daily by the winds of the mountains, which keep the water clean and the sea flat like a huge natural swimming pool. The various bathing facilities offer sports activities, boat trips, short sailing and wind surfing courses or catamaran excursions in the area of the rocks and coves of Caminia.
In addition to the marina there is the ancient village, Montepaone 'e supa' as they say in Calabrian, perched on the top of the hill which protects the narrow coastal plain. It is worth a visit especially on the occasion of the folklore evenings, where typical local products are tasted, such as morzello or zeppole, and local handicraft products are sold. For lovers of walking, the old town is an ideal spot for hiking in the surrounding woods and discovering the ancient mills, streams and rugged hills dotted with olive and chestnut trees.
In the evening you can stroll along the new promenade, which offers a spectacular view of the gulf with the sparkling lights of nearby Soverato, where you can find a nightlife more lively with discos, clubs on the beach and beers at 1 euro from street vendors.
Montepaone is an ideal destination for those looking for a relaxing and low-cost holiday, with friends or family, offering free beaches, beautiful sea and houses for rent at modest prices.
