More from Pizzo in Calabria

Here is two more photos from the city of Pizzo, in Southern Italy, in the region of Calabria.

One is of a small but very nice church, there is a lot of churches in Italy.

And the other one is a religious shrine with a cross in metal and roses in plastic - you can find these all over the citys in the Southern Italy.

The streets of Pizzo

Here is some photos from Italy, from the small southern town of Pizzo. It is in Calabria, almost on the toe of the Italian Boot.

During the summer the city blooms, and a lot of turist come to the town, a lot of them try out the famous ice cram, the Tartufo of Pizzo, as you can see an this picture below.

And when it is hot you can go down to the beach below and cool off a bit. Really nice.

Pizzo in Calabria - Italy

It has been six years now, but this august I went for a really relaxing a holiday in Italy. This time I did a week in southern Italy, in Calabria. It's where the "boot" kicking Sicily.

It was my first trip here, and almonst the only place so far that I had not visited in Italy. And this time it was pure holiday, with just beach, sun and plenty of good food. And a lot of books.
Stayed at Rocca Nettuno Garden resort. A big all inclusice resort with their own beach and home made ice cream.

I was mostly at the poolside or at the sea, but I also took the effort - it was burning hot you know - to go away from the resort to the city of Pizzo. A tiny town on a cliff overlooking the sea. 

It is not big, just about 10000 people lives here. As you can see the city of Pizzo also have  a tiny beach, with clear green-blue water. This time I did not have time to take a bath, it will be for next time. But it looked lovely in the summer heat.

The city is famous for their Tartufi, un ice cream truffel with plenty of chocolate. And of course I tried one! Soooo good. All the bars in Pizzo say they have the best one...

And the there was the hotel pool...

Back to Italy!

Have not been to Italy for about 6 years, stange for me that love the country. But last week I went to Calabria in southern Italy. To a resort near Pizzo. It was a really lazy time, with just a lot of books, good food and plenty of sun, beach and pool-fun. But also a short trip to the city of Pizzo, famous for there ice-creme truffels - I tartufi.
