The Property — Le more
Le More is a straightforward three-star hotel near Crotone's train station, aimed at practical travellers needing a clean base rather than character. The lobby is small, tiled, and functional — more bus-station caff than boutique hideaway. It suits business guests or beach-goers who will spend most of their time out, not lounging by the tiny pool.
Cronache di Crotone
Crotone was founded as the Greek colony Kroton in 710 BC, becoming a centre of medicine and athletics — home to the philosopher Pythagoras. Under Rome it declined, then revived as a Byzantine fortress and later a Spanish garrison town. Its 16th-century castle, now a museum, and the cathedral's Norman bones reflect that layered past. Today, the city lives by its port, fishing, and beaches, with a quiet provincial feel and little overt tourism.
Best Time to Visit
Guida completa di Crotone →Best months
June, September, early October: warm enough for the beach (sea around 24°C), hotel rates still off-peak, and Crotone's streets less crowded than in August.
Peak / festival surge
August is the peak, when Italians flood the coast for Ferragosto (15 Aug) and the whole Ionian coast fills. Hotel prices in Crotone can double; book months ahead if you must go then.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September offer lower rates, still-swimmable sea, and quieter evenings. Late October can be good if you gamble on rain.
Weather & packing
Summers here are dry and hot, but the Sirocco wind can suddenly blow Saharan dust and haze in from Africa. Pack a light dust mask and a scarf to cover your face if you're sensitive to fine particles — and always carry water.
Live City Briefing — Crotone
- The Crotone-Catanzaro dual carriageway (SS106) has lane closures between km 280–285 until autumn 2026 for bridge repairs; factor in 15 extra minutes if driving from the airport.
- The city's archaeological museum in the castle reopened its Greek bronze collection in March 2026 after a two-year renovation — worth a visit for the famous marble 'Krotoniate youth' statue.
- New beach lidos (e.g., Lido Nausicaa on Viale Gramsci) have opened with wooden cabanas and sunbeds, but prices have risen 15-20% compared to last summer.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Le more, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the ground floor for easy access and minimal noise, considering the hotel's location on a main street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the top floor, as the lift may be slower and noisier, and you may be disturbed by the hotel's exterior noise.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's location on a main street means that there are no particularly desirable views, but a room on the ground floor may offer a view of the surrounding streets.
Quietest floors
The ground floor is likely the quietest floor, as it's closest to the entrance and has the most direct access to the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from Corso Giuseppe Mazzini, especially in the evenings and early mornings. The lift noise may also be noticeable throughout the hotel.
Insider tips
Arrive early to secure a parking spot at the nearby Parcheggio Via Roma, as it can get busy during peak hours. Ask the staff about the free WiFi password at check-in, as it's not always clearly advertised, and the speed may not be as fast as you'd expect.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist bureau exchanges as they add high fees and poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and hotels, but many small bars, bakeries, and market stalls still prefer cash.
Tipping is not expected; locals round up the bill or leave a euro or two for good service, and taxi drivers appreciate the same.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A caffè (espresso) at any local bar is around €1.00-1.20; avoid the more expensive tourist spots facing the port.
A panino or pizza al taglio from a takeaway bakery or bar costs about €5-6, perfect for a quick lunch.
A main course of pasta at a casual trattoria runs about €10-12, often with a simple contorno extra.
The area around the old town and the seaside promenade has several kiosks and food stalls selling arancini, panzerotti, and fresh focaccia for quick, cheap eats.
Conad, Lidl, and Eurospin are the main budget supermarkets found in Crotone's residential zones.
For budget fashion, head to the central shopping streets like Corso Vittorio Veneto, where you'll find OVS, NKD, and local discount stores.
Walking is the cheapest way around the centre; for longer trips, a single bus ticket costs about €1.20, or a day pass around €3.50. The nearest airport is Crotone Airport (CRV), but for most routes, a bus or taxi to the train station ( €5 ) connects to regional services.
Eat at trattorie frequented by locals, not the ones by the beach; buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than tourist shops; and consider a Crotone Card for discounts on museums and public transport if you plan to explore historic sites.
