Aieta
|
| Aieta, from the Greek word "aetos" is one of the smallest and most characteristic town centers of the northern Cosenza's province, whose territory is an integral part of the Pollino National Park.
Although less then 30 minutes from on of Calabria's most well know coast, the town is also one of Calabria's lesser known villages.
Aieta, like many other mountain towns, has gradually depopulated , due mainly to emigration.
The ancient practice agro-forestry and pastoral way life are rapidly disappearing, replaced in part by a growing number of farm houses to accommodate a growing number of tourists.
The scenery and the many mountain trails climbing up to 1462 meters on Mount Ciagola is perhaps the main attraction, from here you can admire the breathtaking view of the Policastro's gulf.
