We arrived in Crotone
as we were finishing our lunch. No time was wasted disembarking
or boarding the coaches for a thirty minute drive, through
some beautiful countryside, to the hilltop town of Santa
Severina. |
|
|
|
These photos were
taken from the coach as we drove up to the town. |

Back on the coach,
it was only a short drive to Agriturismo Le Puzelle... |
|
|
... where we were
treated to an array of delicious Calabrian delicacies.
just a light meal to keep us going between lunch and dinner! |
|
|
Afterwards, we had
some free time to enjoy the rural setting and to take in the views. |
