You know, figs are the summertime fruit here in bella Calabria! My favorite way to eat figs, besides after lunch, dinner or as a snack, is as part of a healthy breakfast.

My favorite mini Italian and me taking a tuk tuk break in Palermo this morning.
In the south of Italy on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, lies the Riviera del Cedri, which is home to many beautiful seaside villages. This area gets its name from the cedro (English name: citron), a citrus fruit that has been cultivated in this area for centuries.

Aperitivo while sailing the Coast of the Gods
Summer is a favorite season for many Italians, and seriously, who can blame them with long hot sunny days and gorgeous blue seas on a seemingly never-ending Italian coastline?
So, we thought it would be fun to share some Italian words that are summer and, more specifically, beach related.
If you are learning Italian, or any language for that matter, it’s important to build your vocabulary and learn new words on a regular basis. There are many different ways you can do this, for example, learning words that fall within a certain theme. Summer is a favorite season for many Italians, ...

Italian cuisine: Supplì al telefono
Roman rice croquettes, originally known as Supplì al telefono, because when you bite into them the warm mozzarella stretches and looks like old-fashioned telephone cords, are one of my most requested recipes. Nowadays they go by the simple name of Supplì and are one of Rome’s most beloved street foods.
Once during an interview with an Italian food journalist, I told them that Supplì were one of my favorite things to eat and she laughed at me, because they were expecting a more “gourmet” answer. But the truth of the matter is, if you make Supplì the right way, they are a triumph of gooey goodness wrapped in a crispy, golden shell.

Located on the eastern shores of Sicily, Taormina is a popular travel destination which isn’t really a surprise given its beautiful medieval streets overflowing with flowers, stunning views and lively piazzas.

Italy is home to some of the most spectacular coastlines in Europe: the Amalfi Coast in Campania, La Costa degli Dei in Calabria and the Aeolian Islands in Sicily; just to name a few. And one of the best ways to admire these places is, well, from the water.

📍 Calabria, Sicily, Malta Highlights from my first Best of Calabria & Malta Tour! This 10-day tour started in Calabria with ancient olive groves, a thriving mulberry orchard, the Swiss-like La Sila mountains, and award-winning wine coupled with delicious Calabrese food and cocktails. We then hopped across the Strait of Messina to Sicily where we tasted wines from the volcanic soils of Mt. Etna and took in the sites on the island of Ortigia. Then, in Malta, we explored the UNESCO city of Valletta, hit the water with a private boating excursion, visited a Maltese farm, cooked local specialties, and had a private dinner curated just for our group and based on ancient recipes from the Knights of Malta. Our Small Group Tours are carefully curated to give you the most unique and authentic experience possible.
