the Kroton of the Achaeans and of Pythagoras on the Ionian Sea, with the castle of Charles V above the old harbour, the column of Hera at Capo Colonna and the Madonna who in May is accompanied on foot through the night
Crotone stands on the Ionian coast of Calabria, where the land stretches out eastwards with the promontory of Capo Colonna. It is the Kroton founded by the Achaeans at the end of the eighth century BC, the city where Pythagoras opened his school and the home of Milo, the wrestler who won at Olympia. Of the Greek city little can be seen in the centre: the old town is a hill enclosed by sixteenth century walls, with the Castello di Carlo V, the castle of Charles V, on top, built partly with the stones of the temple of Hera, and the old harbour below. Around it is a modern city of apartment blocks and seafronts, with piazza Pitagora in the middle. The Greek world is about ten kilometres away, at Capo Colonna, where of the great sanctuary of Hera Lacinia a single column is still standing: it is the experience on this page. In winter Crotone is mild, a city that lives all year round and not only in summer, and from here you go to the fortress of Le Castella on its islet, to Santa Severina on its crag and into the vineyards of Cirò. In May comes the feast that holds everything together: on the night before the third Sunday the city accompanies the Madonna di Capo Colonna on foot as far as the promontory. With a motorhome, though, there is no municipal area: in the city there are the harbour car parks, and the areas with services open in winter are private, on the beach to the north and at Le Castella.
Sleeping
Stops and overnight stays
Crotone has no municipal motorhome area. In the city you stay in the harbour car parks, free, good for visiting the centre and less so for the night; the areas with services open in winter too are private, on the beach of Gabella to the north and at Le Castella to the south-west. Capo Colonna has a campsite.
Parcheggio del porto davanti alla Capitaneria
via Miscello da Ripe, 88900 Crotone (KR)
the large harbour car park in front of the Capitaneria, the harbour master's office, the one most used by people arriving by motorhome: the castle and the old town are about ten minutes away on foot. No known sign bans overnight stays, and between October 2025 and February 2026 travellers slept there undisturbed, with the Coast Guard next door. Fine for the day, for the night with caution
one large open space, with no bays marked for motorhomes
Parcheggio di via Miscello da Ripe, davanti alle navi da crociera
via Miscello da Ripe, 88900 Crotone (KR)
a wide open space between the harbour and the city, where long motorhomes fit too, separated from the harbour by a wall. On Thursday mornings there is the market and the car park fills up. It is poorly kept, and travellers disagree about the night: some found it quiet, others heard the ships' engines and the traffic
a private area inside a beach establishment on the sandy beach of Gabella, north of the city, with electricity and water at the pitch. In winter it is open, almost empty and with the bar closed; travellers write that out of season the toilets, in containers, are cold and poorly kept and the hot water runs out quickly. The operator had announced new facilities for spring 2026, but in October 2026 travellers still found them poorly kept. There are no buses: for Crotone there is the operator's shuttle, or half an hour by bicycle
The operator does not publish a price list; people who stopped there paid 15 euros a night, all included, in November and December 2025 and in October 2026, 20 euros in June 2026 and 25 euros in July 2026 · 320 392 5218 · lnx.cogobay.it
a country area run by a family, with a vegetable garden, a few hundred metres from the sandy beach. In winter it is open, and travellers who were there in January and February speak of peace and of electricity that holds up even in a thunderstorm. The toilets are old but clean, and hot showers are included; you can buy vegetables, wine and oil, the baker comes by in the morning, and in summer the operator drives you to the supermarket. Crotone is nine kilometres away. With a long motorhome phone first, to find out which way to arrive
The operator's price list is an image that cannot be read; people who stopped there paid 10 euros for one night in January 2025, 20 euros in June and in August 2025 and 15 euros in September 2026, all included; the washing machine cost 4 euros · 331 494 2446 · area-attrezzata-gabella.webnode.it
via Astilo 128, località Capo Colonna, 88900 Crotone (KR)
the Campeggio Alfieri, a terraced campsite above the beach of red sand, two and a half kilometres from the column of Hera, with a motorhome service point and a small shop. It describes itself as open all year, and there are people who slept there in January 2025 and in mid October 2026; a traveller in 2024 writes the opposite, and its own page on a campsite directory warns that in January the facilities are not guaranteed: in winter, phone. The phone signal is weak and so is the wifi. In summer it is full and noisy
The campsite does not publish its price list openly and advertises a motorhome stopover at 20 euros, without the year; people who stopped there paid 20 euros a night in September 2025 and 75 euros for three nights on a pitch by the sea in October 2026; electricity is paid separately · 0962 934047 · alfiercamping.it
via Michele Di Donato, località Capo Colonna, 88900 Crotone (KR)
the car parks in front of the Capo Colonna museum, next to the bus stop, where you leave the motorhome to visit the park. No known sign reserves them for motorhomes or bans them.

località Santa Domenica, 88841 Le Castella, Isola di Capo Rizzuto (KR)
a large area by the sea, in the shade of tall trees, with access to the beach, one kilometre from the fortress of Le Castella, which you reach on foot in a quarter of an hour. In winter it is open: between November and January travellers found the facilities clean and the showers hot, and someone stayed a month. In October 2026 card payment was not working: it is best to have cash
The operator does not publish a price list; people who stopped there paid 15 euros a night or 70 euros a week in October 2025, 15 euros a day with electricity in December 2025, 20 euros at the end of July 2026 · 331 779 4561

strada Costa Splendente, 88841 Le Castella, Isola di Capo Rizzuto (KR)
a holiday village with a campsite of three hectares, fenced, among pines and eucalyptus, nine hundred metres from the fortress, with a motorhome service point, a pizzeria and a small grocery. It is the only stopover in the area with a winter price list written by the operator, and it is open all year: some people spend the winter there. The toilets are not heated. In front there is a rocky shore inside the marine protected area
The operator's price list for the season from September 2026 to May 2027: motorhome stopover 15 euros a night all included for two people, with electricity, water and wifi · 0962 795131 · costasplendente.it
The old town and the harbour can be explored on foot, and the seafront is a long walk. For Capo Colonna there is a bus only on weekdays, and the coast as far as Le Castella is done by motorhome.
You arrive by the SS106 Jonica state road, from the north, from Sibari and Cirò Marina, or from the south, from Catanzaro: there are no motorways. The Gabella areas lie between the state road and the sea, north of the city; Capo Colonna is to the south-east, along the coast
The seafront is a limited traffic zone at weekends, on the stretches of viale Cristoforo Colombo and viale Gramsci: from 16 September to 1 November 2026 on Saturdays from 15:00 to midnight and on Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 20:00. For the winter the Comune has written nothing
The blue bays are run for the Comune by the company Park It, which does not publish its rates: in the car park in corso Mazzini, which admits motorhomes up to six metres, travellers paid 1 euro an hour or 5 euros a day in January 2024
The Thursday market fills the open space in via Miscello da Ripe; on the first Thursday of the month there is also the one in viale Regina Margherita, which that day is closed to cars
For Capo Colonna there is urban line 13 of Romano Autolinee, only on weekdays: with the 2026 winter timetable it left the terminus in via Giuseppe Di Vittorio at 6:15, at 11:00, in the early afternoon and at 19:00, and came back from Capo Colonna at 6:35, at 11:35, at 15:10 and at 19:35. It does not run on Sundays
The station is a couple of kilometres from the centre, on the line between Sibari and Catanzaro Lido; in 2026 there were works on the line with buses replacing trains, and before setting off check the Trenitalia notice
The airport, Sant'Anna, is about ten kilometres away, in the municipality of Isola di Capo Rizzuto
Water is not easy in the city: the drinking fountains in via Giuseppe Di Vittorio, where people fill their jerrycans, are almost always out of order, and there is no public motorhome service point. Filling and emptying are done in the private areas

The centre takes a day: in the morning the castle, which in the afternoon opens only on Sundays, then the old town, piazza Pitagora and in the evening the seafront.

What remains are the two cylindrical towers, the Comandante and the Aiutante, the bastions and the moat, which is now a garden; the Torre Marchesana was demolished after a collapse in the nineteenth century. The Comune calls it one of the largest fortresses in Italy, over fourteen thousand square metres.

The parish does not publish its opening hours
the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the church of the Madonna di Capo Colonna and of San Dionigi. According to Wikipedia its layout dates from the ninth century, and in the sixteenth century bishop Antonio Lucifero rebuilt it, also with materials from the temple of Hera; since 1983 it has been a minor basilica. It has been closed since June 2023 because of structural problems: the earthquake-proofing works began in January 2026 and were due to finish at the end of June, but nothing can be read about the reopening.

Useful tips
In winter you sleep outside the city: the areas with services open all year are the private ones at Gabella, seven and nine kilometres to the north, and at Le Castella, twenty kilometres to the south-west; you come into the city by day and leave the motorhome in the harbour car parks
Phone before you stop: the Campeggio Alfieri, on 0962 934047, to find out whether it is open in winter, and the Gabella area, on 331 494 2446, if your motorhome is long, to find out which way to arrive
The castle is open in the morning, on Sundays in the evening too, and it is closed on Mondays, like Capo Colonna, Le Castella and the castle of Santa Severina: Monday is the day for the seafront
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale reopens on 7 January 2027, the operator says: until then the Treasure of Hera cannot be seen, while the park and the museum at Capo Colonna are open. Before going in January, check that the works really are finished
The cathedral is closed: the painting of the Madonna di Capo Colonna is in the church of the Immacolata, a hundred metres away
For the May pilgrimage leave the motorhome in the city: at night the Capo Colonna road is closed, and anyone who wants to see the arrival in the morning goes to the promontory before the road closes, and waits. The programme comes out at the end of April in the Crotone papers
In the recipe the oil, the chilli, the parsley and the bread have no quantity, the salt and the water to thin the sauce are not there, and the cooking time is missing, because the source does not give them: it depends on the size of the fish.

Experiences from here
What we did starting from here, ordered by driving time.
Crotone is a land of sheep and of fish. The cheese is pecorino crotonese PDO, made from whole sheep's milk, fresh, semi-hard or aged, with the mark of the basket on the rind; the wine is Cirò, red and rosé from Gaglioppo and white from Greco, and the oil is Alto Crotonese PDO, from the Carolea olive. On the coast to the north they make sardella, tiny fish pounded with chilli and wild fennel, which in Crucoli has had a festival since 1970; since 2010 the fry may no longer be fished, and today it is often made with other fish. At the harbour you buy the fish for the quadaro, as the fishermen call the soup, after the cauldron it was cooked in: in a motorhome a large pot is enough.
600 g fish: red mullet, scorpionfish, hake and gurnard
500 g cuttlefish or squid
500 g mussels and clams
300 g prawns
500 g peeled tomatoes
1 onion
hot chilli
olive oil
plenty of parsley
croutons of country bread
Method
make a spicy sauce with the peeled tomatoes, the chilli and the onion, and pour it into a large pot
clean the fish well, scale it and wash it
bring the sauce, which should be fairly thin, to the boil and add the fish a little at a time: first the cuttlefish and the squid, then the mussels and the clams, the prawns, the scorpionfish and the gurnard, and last of all the red mullet and the hake
cook over a moderate heat, stirring carefully now and then
pour the soup into a tureen, sprinkle it with coarsely chopped parsley and serve it piping hot with the croutons
