Marinella → Crotone

Stage information

Difficulty: moderate. Difficulty recorded in the catalogue.

20 km from Marinella to Crotone by way of Capo Colonna, and the loop closes. Follow the blue arrow with the snail. At the Parco Archeologico di Capo Colonna one Doric column of the Temple of Hera Lacinia, from 480 BC, still stands against the sea; tradition says Pythagoras met the women of his school here, and Hannibal sailed from here back to Carthage. Then you walk into Crotone, the Kroton the Achaeans founded in 718 BC, back where you began.
