About the area A Coastal Retreat in Caminia
Caminia, situated in the province of Catanzaro, is renowned for its clear waters and white sandy beaches. Club Esse Sunbeach sits along this stretch of the Ionian Sea, offering guests direct access to one of the most picturesque parts of Southern Italy. While the region of Calabria is sparsely populated in terms of permanent Jewish infrastructure compared to Rome or Milan, it holds deep historical significance for the Jewish community. Calabria is famous for its citron (Etrog) groves, particularly the Yanover Etrogim found in the Riviera dei Cedri further north, which have been harvested for centuries for use during Sukkot.

It is an ideal setting for a Pesach program where the focus remains on the family and the sanctity of the holiday. Access to the resort is typically via Lamezia Terme, the region's main transportation hub, connecting guests to the rest of Italy and Europe.
