There are many excursions that can be taken starting from Belmonte Calabro. In fact, travelling only a few kms., it is possible to visit Amantea, whose historical centre presents enchanting corners, but it is also a very active commercial centre for the numbers of businesses present (www.comuneamantea.it ).

Nearby you can visit Fiumefreddo Bruzio, included in the list of the most beautiful ancient villages in Italy ( www.comunedifiumefreddobruzio.it ) and the splendid Sanctuary of St. Francis of Paola ( www.santuariosanfrancescodipaola.it ).

For all those who have a lot of time on their hands, it is definitely worthwhile to dedicate a day in the plateaus of the Sila and Camigliatello Silano where you can relax and enjoy an exquisite cuisine.
