Riserva Naturale Foce del Crati
Calabria
Established in 1990 across the territories of Corigliano-Rossano and Cassano allo Ionio, this reserve protects the mouth of Calabria's longest river, where fresh water mixes with the sea to create reed beds, lagoon pools and dune scrub — the region's most significant wetland of this kind. Flat paths follow the river mouth and dune line, good for birdwatching without any real elevation gain.
