In just three hours, you could be landing in Reggio Calabria – the city with sun, beaches, mountains, waterparks, history… and it’s very affordable.
The Reggio Calabria city centre is 8km from the airport and can easily be reached by bus in under 15 minutes for just €2 (£1.66).
It’s not just the flights that are a bargain; we found a hotel from just £22 per night through Expedia.
Be sure to check out some of the local produce too – specifically the wine, as the city ranked fourth cheapest for wine, with bottles available for £3.
