Despite being the most recently established town in the region, Scanzano is probably the oldest settlement in southern Italy\u2019s \u201cGreater Greece\u201d area, that is to say, what once were the colonies of Ancient Greece. Termitito, as the area was called, goes back to the 13th century B.C. As a result of the Agrarian Reform enacted by the De Gasperi government in the 1950s, the area gained the name of the \u201cCalifornia of the South\u201d thanks to its great variety of horticultural plants that find ideal growing conditions for produce widely acknowledged for its excellence. The approximately eight kilometres of golden sandy beaches along the coast are now the holiday destination for thousands of tourists that receive a warm welcome and lots of attention from local operators.<\/p>\n
