One of the things that makes the Province of Vibo Valentia so special is its natural beauty. The coast has terraces at different altitudes where small rural centers are located, while towards the sea there are steep slopes. Have you ever heard of Lake Angitola? It is one of the main attractions of our province. But that's not all, just off the coast of Capo Vaticano, an extinct volcano was discovered at 120 meters depth!

The climate of the Province of Vibo Valentia varies depending on the areas. On the coast, we have a very hot Mediterranean climate in summer and mild in winter, while towards the interior, the temperature decreases. Snow is rare, but in some areas, it occurs at least once a year. Rain is frequent, but don't worry, you will still have enough sun to enjoy a day at the beach!
