Deep off-season — very low prices, but weather conditions are suboptimal.
January is the coldest winter month in Calabria — with highs of only 12°C, it holds little appeal for sun-seekers. Better travel in June, July, August, and September.
Temperatures reach a maximum of 12°C during the day and drop to 5°C at night — warm layers recommended. With 4 sunshine hours per day and 9 rain days (112 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 16°C, the water is still quite cool in January — a wetsuit may be useful.
