Plan your holiday your way
Ideas for your stay in Santa Maria del Cedro
A few days by the sea or a week with excursions? Choose how long to stay, then what you feel like doing. Our suggestions leave time for towns, nature and simply doing very little.

For your first visit
Three full days give you time to get to know Santa Maria del Cedro and take your first trips around the area. An idea for a shorter stay with time for the beach.
The itinerary suggests an order for your walks and alternatives for a quieter afternoon. Open the itinerary for your first three days.
When you have a whole week
A week gives you more time to return to favourite places and head into the mountains. Every day starts from the same base at Cedromare.
You can change the order of the trips or spend a day close to the house. See seven different days.
What do you feel like doing tomorrow?
Sea and scenery: choose a beach, a bay or a boat trip. Art and towns: wander among murals and stone houses.
Greenery and activity: spend a day in Orsomarso and the Argentino valley. History and local flavours: learn about citron or visit a museum of local traditions.
The itineraries cover full days here, excluding travel to and from Cedromare. You will need a car or pre-arranged transport between towns. Choose museums, boat trips and restaurants according to current opening times and the weather.
Choose an itinerary that suits you
Your first three days
The beach and citron in Santa Maria del Cedro, Diamante’s murals, then Scalea’s steps and towers.
A week in Calabria
From the beach near the house to mountain towns and views of Maratea. Seven days to arrange your way.
Diamante and Cirella
It is worth bringing a camera on this trip.
San Nicola Arcella and Praia a Mare
A rock arch, bays and an island seen from the shore.
Orsomarso and the Argentino valley
Stone lanes, a river and a wooded valley. A day in the mountain surroundings of Orsomarso.
Calabria all year round
Get to know Calabria when the promenade is quieter, too.

The map shows the places described and ideas for another outing.
Fancy a day in the mountains?
Choose the views above Piano Ruggio, the green Argentino valley or rafting on the Lao. For hikers, there is also a full day on Monte Pollino. These ideas replace one day of your stay, rather than adding more kilometres to an existing plan.
Where next?
You can enjoy these days out and return to the same base each evening. Take a look at the Cedromare holiday home and see whether this is how you picture your holiday.
