Crotone a wonderful tour - We booked our tour with Francesco and he took us to discover Crotone. It was a wonderful experience, we learned so much and the tour was fascinating. We learned not only about the ancient Kroton from Magna Grecia but also he took us to see hidden places in Crotone, joules of the Middle Age. I highly recommend to get in touch with the association before visiting Crotone.
