Canon EOS 250D | 67mm | 1/1250s | f/5 | ISO 100 Taken on 23/02/2020. * Repost * There is a bitter-sweet element to this photo. Starting with the bitter: After taking the Intercity train from Crotone to Corigliano Calabro, I was waiting for the IAS bus which, as it transpired, didn't show up 😕. Granted, public transport services are generally limited (or non-existent) on Sundays and public holidays, but the up-to-date bus timetable found on the IAS website does include a Sunday and public holiday service. Not to be deterred – and this is the sweet bit – I got as close as I could to Corigliano Calabro until the pavement ended and, lo and behold, a photo that I'm tremendously proud of given the circumstances. This medieval village majestically stands on a hill surrounded by green olive trees. At the very top you can see the castle which was built as a medieval fortress in the 11th century and underwent a series of transformations. It would have been nice to view the castle and historic centre much more closely, but I believe in focusing more on the positive and less on the what-ifs. At least Calabria lives up to its reputation for being doubly difficult to get around by 🚍 and 🚉. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: The only way to reach Corigliano Calabro's historic centre is by taking a bus from the train station which is on the Taranto–Reggio Calabria Intercity and Sibari–Catanzaro Lido Regional lines. Definitely check the up-to-date bus timetables on iasautolinee.com and search for 'Orari Linea Corigliano'. Speaking from experience, I'd advise against travelling there on a Sunday or public holiday. ______________________________________ #ig_cosenza #turiscalabria #coriglianocalabro #italia #italy #ilikeitaly #socality #italianlandscapes #italygram #travelphotography #canonitalia #neverstopexploring #heatercentral #beautifulplaces #bittersweet #wheresthebus #lookonthebrightside #positivethinking #optimism #calabria_illife #calabriadaamare #southitaly #suditalia #ig_calabria #ig_italia #yallersitalia #yallerscalabria #volgoitalia #volgocalabria #shotz_of_calabria (at Corigliano Calabro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEK2adColOh/?igshid=1alc14whqljz6
