Crotone is one of the most important cities of Calabria and is equipped with a very modern and well equipped tourist port that allows every year to dock at ships of large tonnage and tourist boats. The city of Crotone was founded by Greek colonists, from the region of Achaia in the third quarter of the 8th century BC, in place of an existing indigenous settlement and represented one of the most important centers of Magna Graecia. The old town is a maze of narrow alleys and squares up to the Cathedral and the central piazza Pitagora, point of contact between old and new town. The southern territory is situated entirely within the marine protected area of Capo Rizzuto and also to make an additional supplement in this scenario, there is the promontory of Capo Colonna where it remained the only column of the Temple of Hera Lacinia, formerly said Lakinion Akron, which closes the city into a large basin that divides it from the Gulf of Squillace. The hospitality of its inhabitants and the excellent wines, gastronomy rich in flavors, its climate so mild and the clearness of the sea are the ideal territory of Crotone in all seasons.
