Cariati is a town and comune (municipality) in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. The town is divided into two parts: Cariati Superiore, situated on top of a hill, and Cariati Marina, which is stretched along the Ionian coastline.

As you wander through the narrow streets of Cariati's old town, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. The town's medieval architecture and well-preserved historic center are a testament to its past as a strategic coastal fortress. Take a stroll along the ancient walls that once protected the town, and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea.

One of the best ways to experience Cariati is by visiting its beaches. The town has several stunning beaches, including the popular Lungomare di Cariati and the more secluded Spiaggia degli Aranci. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the coastline from a different perspective.
