they only harass local business owners right?
So after this video it will be packed with tourists 😂
As the grandchild of a Calabrian, I long for a big, meaty documentary on Calabria, full of rich details about its history and culture.
Always watch DW Travel with big pleasure)
I went there some years ago. It's beautiful! The sea is clear, almost transparent. Furthermore it isn't a very expensive touristic place.
OE not FOZ. Otherwise no one would stop WW3.
Ndrangheta don't touch the guests 🤔😅
….i don't understand how tourists can enjoy a place so crowded….
Looks beautiful!
Hello from Bucharest, Romania – a huge underrated city in Europe:)
Meanwhile, in Canada. Work, come home, maybe stop at the gym and then go to sleep. This is what they call an 'advanced society'
If a location gets promoted on YouTube as being free of tourist crowds, tourist crowds will come. DW just guaranteed this place will suck in the future. Thanks, DW!!!
