Around 3000 years
after the
foundation of
Sibari by the
Achaeans, this
area that is part
of the Council of
Cassano allo Ionio
comes back into
the limelight.
This has occurred
perhaps even
through the
initiatives of
organizations like
the Nautical
Center, Lakes of
Sibari.
It is the most
renowned Nautical
Center of the
Mediterranean
basin. In both
2000 and 2002 the
Center obtained an
important
acknowledgment
known as the Blue
Flag from the
FEEE Italia
(Foundation for
Environmental
Education in
Europe – Italian
section)
www.feeitalia.org.
This recognition
was given as a
form of credit for
the Centers
projects, which
are of great
relevance to the
environment.
The idea of
realizing the
‘Lakes’ project
came about in the
1970s when the
area was still
nothing more than
a swamp. Giannino
Furlanis who at
the time was
working in the
construction of
the Autostrada del
sole instigated
this idea.
Together with
Furlanis and with
the base of a plan
elaborated by
Architect Valle,
southern
entrepreneurs and
locals
collaborated to
realize the
center.
The nautical
center, Lakes of
Sibari, was
planned so as to
respect the
natural
surrounding
environmental
elements, in
particular the
large and sandy
beach, the thick
bush situated
along the Crati
and at the font of
the Sibari canal.
The project
recuperated the
environmental
components which
historically
characterize the
area, with the re
proposition of a
type of
environment,
defined by the
succession
sea-beach-water.
This project did
not in anyway
alter the manner
the natural
environment in the
archaeological
area. The
Calabrian
Supervising Board
of Antiquity, who
individuated the
antique site of
sibari, conducted
the excavations.
The excavations
are separated from
the tourist site
by a large green
area, which
measures around
1,250metres.
The tourist site
does not exist
exclusively on the
beach, but on the
contrary the
residential zone
and the beach is
cleanly separated
by a complex of
water mirrors.
The water mirrors
are connected by a
large canal, which
runs parallel to
the line of the
coast.
The entire water
system is used as
a tourist port. It
is 40 000 meters
squared, and
positioned at the
center of the
Mediterranean.
Safety and
modernity of
equipment
represents the
strong base of
recovery and rest. |
|
The utilization
of the
arenilenon hence
does not
represent the
only activity,
which sustains
the permanence
of the center
but one of the
possible
alternatives. In
this manner of
logic, not only
the tourist port
but also the
archaeological
zone, the hot
springs of
Cassano Ionio
and of Spezzano
Albanese and the
close by
mountains of
Palino and of
Sila, sustain
the tourist
site.
Road connections
are assured by
the autostrada
del sole, that
is, from the
Adriatic
highway, to the
Superstrada
Jonica that
converges on the
plane. Flight
connections are
reached through
the airport of
S. Eufemia of
Crotone and
Bari. Rail
connections
function with a
link at Sibari.
The orderly
development of
the center is
assured by the
lot plan, that
foresees 12
zones: the first
and second zones
are at the
utility of the
services unit
and contain the
nautical
equipment for
maintenance,
recovery and the
preparation of
sea-borne crafts
not to mention
the systems
relative to the
maintenance of
the entire
complex.
The 3rd and 4th
zones are
prevalently for
commercial use
and contain the
equipment
services for
tourists, portal
services and
commercial ones
for the entire
complex. The
5th, 6th, 7th,
8th, 9th, 10th,
11th and 12th,
are further
divided into
sub-zones and
are composed of
residences,
hotel equipment
and services for
all the other
zones. Building
is carried out
via the
elaboration of
architectural
projects focused
on each sub-zone
and following
the correct
norms. The lot
plan was
approved by the
Reggio Calabrian
council and
ratified by the
Council of
Cassano Jonio.
The ‘Lakes of
Sibari’
association
represents the
Nautical Center
at an
international
level, in a more
relevant way
than any other
within the
Mediterranean
basin.
It extends
across a highly
vast area that
is composed of
the following:
|
- Nine
hundred
kilometers of
quays
- Five docks
three meters
deep, a total
of four
hundred and
thirty
thousand
square meters
- Two
thousand eight
hundred places
for boats,

eighteen
meters that

available, and
a possible
augmentation
of another one
thousand two
hundred spaces,
which makes
for a total of
2000 places
- Four
hectares
occupied by
the nautical
quarter
-
Eighty-nine
thousand
square meters
of public
space reserved
for group
activities
- Two
hundred and
six meters
squared of
