Lamezia Terme is the perfect starting point: international airport, railway station, motorway. From here, Calabria opens up in every direction - from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian in less than an hour.
Lamezia Terme (SUF) - direct flights from all over Europe. The festival is 15 minutes away.

From ancient Terina to Norman castles, from Magna Graecia to medieval villages.
Tropea onion, 'nduja, Lamezia DOC, Pizzo truffle, Lametia DOP oil.
The Color Fest is held on the Riviera dei Tramonti - and from here the most spectacular coastlines of Calabria are all within easy reach.
Sheer white sandy beaches below the medieval village, the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola on a cliff overlooking the sea and the wild coves of Capo Vaticano. Boat excursions to the Aeolian Islands also depart from here.
Perched on a tuffaceous promontory overlooking the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia. The Aragonese Castle, the mysterious Church of Piedigrotta carved into the rock and the legendary frozen truffle: the most famous dessert in Calabria.
The Falcone e Borsellino waterfront where the Color Fest takes place: kilometres of beach, equipped lidos, centuries-old pine forest and sunsets over the Tyrrhenian Sea that give this coastline its name. Also to be experienced in the days before and after the festival.
Central Calabria is a concentration of eras: from Magna Graecia to the Normans, from the Byzantines to the Bourbons. All immersed in landscapes that leave you breathless.
The regional capital, the "city between two seas". The Byzantine Castle, the Villa Margherita with its panoramic gardens and the historic Grecìa district with a view of the Fiumarella valley.
On the other side of Calabria: the crystal clear sea of the Costa dei Saraceni and Gerace, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in the south of Italy with the largest Norman cathedral in the region.
The Norman-Swabian Castle on the San Teodoro hill, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, the Lametino Archaeological Museum with finds from ancient Terina (5th century B.C.) and the House of Ancient Books with over 2,500 volumes from the 16th century.
Lamezia Terme is at the narrowest point in Calabria. In just a few kilometres, you go from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the thousand-year-old forests of the Sila - a contrast you won't find anywhere else.
Europe's largest plateau: larch and beech forests, alpine lakes (Arvo, Ampollino, Cecita), hiking trails, mountain villages and cool temperatures even in the middle of summer.
The Aque Angae, known since Roman times: four 39°C sulphur springs along the Bagni stream. Spa treatments in the modern facility and a free-access swimming pool in the greenery.
Hiking in the hinterland: the Reventino mountain range (1,417 m) and the Valli Cupe nature reserve with waterfalls, canyons and unique biodiversity. Trails for all levels.
The area around Lamezia Terme produces two certified excellences: the Lamezia DOC wine (from the indigenous grape varieties Nerello and Greco Nero) and the'Lametia Extra Virgin Olive Oil PDO, among the best in the Mediterranean.
At the festival you will find a'food area with Coldiretti delicacies and local producers. But don't stop there: Calabrian gastronomy should be explored in the restaurants in the historic centre, the agriturismi on the plain and the trattorias on the coast.
Lamezia Terme is not only the hub for getting to Calabria - it is a city with 2,500 years of history, a historic centre to explore on foot and an amazing cultural offer.
From the top of the hill San Teodoro dominates the plain with a panorama that reaches as far as the sea. Built in the 11th century, it is shrouded in legends - such as that of fairies emerging from the cave at nightfall.
In the San Domenico Complex: the remains of ancient Terina, a Magna Graecia colony dating back to the 5th century B.C., with an urban layout reminiscent of the great Greek cities.
Over 2,500 printed volumes from the 16th century - Venice, Rome, Naples, Lyon, Antwerp, Paris - and Greek and Latin manuscripts with annotations by the philosopher Tommaso Campanella.
