Badolato

Badolato occupies a hillside above the Ionian Sea in Calabria. Its older quarter climbs from the coastal plain in a close-knit weave of lanes, stone houses and small churches, while Badolato Marina lies nearer the shore. The town is part of Calabria’s long tradition of historic hill settlements, where daily life remains concentrated in a compact centre. Badolato gained international attention in 1997 after Kurdish refugees reached the nearby coast; residents opened vacant homes to them, an episode that remains important to the community’s identity.
