Catanzaro South Car Hire

Catanzaro South is an area south of Catanzaro city, on the Ionian coast in Calabria. The location at coordinates 38.90°N makes it a good starting point to explore the coast toward Locri and Siderno (about 40 km south). One rental agency is available for you who want flexibility in your journey.

The area borders municipalities like Squillace, known for its medieval fortress with panoramic views over the Ionian Sea, located about 12 km north. The local Calabrian cuisine with 'nduja and bergamot is a must to try at the family-run restaurants along the coast.
