This sleepy town of just 10,432 people offers little to excite the average expat. Situated in the hilly region of Calabria, Melito di Porto Salvo sits about 25 kilometers southeast of the regional capital Reggio Calabria. The area is part of the Bovesia Greek-speaking enclave, but the persistent bureaucracy is a headache for those seeking a simple life in the sun. Melito's remote location and lack of amenities make it a poor choice for all but the most determined Italophiles seeking an authentic - if isolated - taste of Calabrian life.
