About
The Cammino della Magna Graecia is a loop of about 360 km in 16 stages around the province of Crotone. You leave the city of Pythagoras, climb through wine villages and arbëreshë hill towns to San Giovanni in Fiore in the Sila, then come back down past castles and shrines to the Ionian coast and the last column of the Temple of Hera Lacinia. Here's the thing: the route is not fully signed (the blue arrow with the snail marks the stretch from Marinella to Capo Colonna), so carry the GPS track and download the latest version before you go.
