My husband's town was Giosia Ionica and my sister-in-law now lives in Siderno. Just curious --do you have a recipe for the savory fried potato/flour/semolina dough with anchovy in the middle that Calabrians call zeppoles? No one in the family can give it to me ...they say come over to watch how they are made and when I get there the dough is already rising. sigh. Same deal with the potato stuffed mini eggplants. I've been searching for years fro a written recipe for both! Thanks! This makes me wish I could go back to Calabria soon!

Definitely the next time around. It's so beautiful! Have you been the castle in Squillace? That one is great as well.

How lucky for you to be able to have family and travel there. Beautiful scenes. Wish I could be there now. Calabria is such a neglected part of Italy by American tourists. But that's a double edged sword. What lovely photos. How lucky for you to be able to have family and travel there. Beautiful scenes. Wish I could be there now.

Strong Greek influence there? Or am I mistaken? No, I’ve never been, but am tempted by these photos and by other blogs I read.
