About
The Cammino Basiliano follows the Italo-Greek monks down the whole of Calabria, from Rocca Imperiale on the Ionian border with Basilicata to the Strait at Reggio Calabria. You walk through the canyons of the Pollino, the forests of the Sila, the woods of the Serre and the rocks of Aspromonte, from hilltop village to Basilian monastery to Norman castle.
It is about 1,020 km in 54 stages. Here's the thing: there is no signage on the trail, so carry the GPS track.
