Lamezia Terme - shhh!
Our adventure in Italy continues today as we travel towards Lamezia Terme, tucked away in the bottom of Italy. Lamezia Terme is not the most popular tourist attraction in Italy, but that is good – no fear of bumping to other Brits looking for ‘full English breakfasts’. In fact we are really looking forward to exploring this wee town. For those that are not familiar with Lamezia, it is situated in a wonderful, unspoiled region of Italy. We hired our car from the usual guys and they gave us directions as well as gave us the inside tracked on what to see and do in Lamezia and the surrounding region. We didn’t get to Lamezia Terme until quite late and thank god the car had air conditioning – believe me it is hot, hot, hot! Upon arrival we parked the car, took the luggage to the hotel and we were delighted at the greeting from hotel manager at the Lamezia Astoria (yes – it’s the real name). Giovanni parked our car and showed us to our small but adequate hotel room. After a great night’s sleep we explored this lovely town – Lamezia has a castle, great restaurants and a host of other things to do. It is not Rome – but it also does not have the glut of tourists that such popularity brings. All in all we spent 3 days in Lamezia Terme and thoroughly enjoyed it before hoping back into the car and heading to our next Italian adventure.
Look forward to reporting back next week. Ciao for now.
