Check in then chill out – holidays to Parghelia are all about switching off on the sands.
Good enough to eat
Italy's Parghelia is waiting to help you unwind, with sandy shores and gentle waves at the ready. The tiny Calabrian town is all about tranquillity, so if your ideal holiday's made of peace, quiet and ocean air, it's a winner. Tuck in to buttery spaghetti with clams as you soak up the atmosphere.
Oh so quiet
With a seafront that could be plucked from a postcard, the star attraction of Parghelia's sightseeing list is the shoreline itself. Michelino Beach feels like a remote world of its own – easy to forget that it's just a short walk from family-run restaurants and shops.
