ghost town Pentedattilo calabria

Pentedattilo, one of the most characteristic of the Hellenistic, is a small village of Melito Porto Salvo (RC), founded in 640 to.c.by some Greek colonists (Kalchedian) and almost completely uninhabited. Fascinating place, full of mystery, lies perched on the cliff of Mount Calvary, with its characteristic shape that resembles a mammoth hand with five fingers, and hence the name: pentadaktylos, five fingers. Now some of the "fingers" have collapsed, but you can still sense the original form of the relief. Holidays calabria not only sea and beaches but also culture, which also visit the archaeological sites and museums of this beautiful region will not be disappointed.
