Tropea - Sporting activities in Calabria

Piccola Università Italiana - The Italian language school by the sea

As an Italian language school directly by the sea in Italy, we of course offer a wide range of sporting activites. Combine your Italian language course with your favourite sport. Even couples, family members and friends with different interests find the ideal place to spend their holiday and get to know southern Italy.

Flavio Briatore.jpgMany celebrities have also discovered Tropea, because in Tropea, celebrities from TV and film can mingle inconspicuously amongst the other holiday- makers. But some of them do still get spotted like Flavio Briatore here, seen jogging on the beach in Tropea while his new Calabrian wife soaks up a few southern rays on the nearby yacht.

 

In the following table we have put together the sporting possibilities in Calabria at a glance. The table will tell you where a charge is involved, when the sporting activity can be done and where it will take place. On the right we have added comments to improve understanding of the table.
