La Verde (possibly Ancient Greek: Καϊκῖνος, romanized: Kaïkinos)[1] is an Italian river whose source is on Montalto in the Aspromonte National Park, in Calabria, southern Italy.[2] From there, the river flows southeast and then flows east before emptying into the Ionian Sea north of Cape Bruzzano. It has a drainage basin of 117 square kilometres (45 sq mi).[3]
