Pentone Greeters
Free Walk with a Local
Discover Pentone through a free walk with a Local
Tucked away within the lush greenery of Sila Piccola, Pentone provides an authentic introduction to Calabrian life. Unravel its pristine beauty and immerse yourself in life at the heart of the local community. Enjoy roaming at your leisure with our lively Free walking tours, led by enthusiastic Pentone Greeters. They are invaluable in helping you discover the town‘s distinctive identity and countless hidden treasures that visitors usually overlook. Journey across ancient paths to witness the legendary Porta Di Mezzogiorno, a distinctive, towerlike passage built into walls for protection.
This stands as a reflection of the town‘s remarkable history. Carry on exploring the serenity of the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Termine, a well-loved religious site celebrated for its tradition and its festivity held every September. Apart from that, countless natural springs, once providing water for one of the biggest aqueducts in southern Italy, stand along the way. Let the Pentone Greeters warm your heart with stories and attractions that make the town truly special.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.
