About
A 180 km loop through the Marchesato Crotonese, from Scandale to Crotone. Nine stages, 2,411 metres of elevation gain, and history at every turn.
Ancient ruins of Kroton whisper tales of the past; the Aragonese fortress at Le Castella looms impressively. The air?
A heady mix of salt and citrus. Stroll through Santa Severina, where rustic eateries serve dishes that linger long after the last bite.
Best tackled from April to June or September to October, this cultural walk rewards the curious with flavors and stories that echo through time.
