The most beautiful resort of Italy. Best places in Italy to relax on the sea

It is enough to look at the card to understand: the beach resorts in Italy are even debugging. Wherever you find yourself, in which area of \u200b\u200bItaly do not come, the sea is always near. Even with the Alpine slopes can be reached to the coast in just 3-4 hours.

It should not be noted that the seaside resorts of Italy are extremely diverse. In Italy, there are both wide sandy beaches, and secluded bays with pebble shores, and beaches with gentle entrance to the sea, and places where the depth begins at the shore itself. In short, the choice is extensive - there is something to talk about. This, actually we will do.

However, before proceeding directly to, we will make several reservations (so that it is easier for you to navigate, as the text turned out volumetric).

Presented in this article overview of Italy beach resorts is built as follows. The focus is the most popular Italian cities (or rather airports), which is not much labor to get from anywhere in the world, including from Russia (Read more about airports with Italy).

Focusing on these cities / airports, we consider the spaces located nearby, which seem to be most interesting to us both in terms of quality and in terms of transport accessibility. (Before most of the beach resorts discussed below can be reached by rail - see www.trenitalia.com.) At the same time, we do not pursue the goal to list all existing options. If you like some of the directions below, then you can (and even need!) To deepen in the topic - you will find many interesting places that we have not mentioned here.

So, in this review you will find information about the resorts and stay close to the following cities:

The beach resorts of Calabria and Apulia will also be considered briefly. Behind this article remained large Italian Islands - Sardinia and Sicily ( beaches of Sicily Disclaimed in detail), as they require separate attention.

As you can see, the procedure for consideration - from the north to south, that is, from top to bottom on the map. It seems logical :) However, such an order is also due to the fact that Italy is easier to get, faster and usually cheaper than south. At the same time, the northern resorts are usually more expensive than the southern one. (Although, as you know, there are no rules without exception.)

Finally, it is worth saying that all of the following is oriented primarily on independent travelers. If you are interested in standard tours, we advise you to contact these sites, like, where you can find and buy these tours online. However, it is quite possible and here you will find something useful for yourself.

On this, perhaps, completed the introductory part. Go to the review.

Where to go to the sea in Italy and how to get to the best beaches

So, Italy, the sea, rest, beaches. Go!

Generally speaking, the Venice itself can be considered as a beach resort because there is an island. Lido di Venice (Lido di Venezia), famous for its extended sandy beach. You can get here by water directly from Venice Airport (sailing a little more than an hour; see www.alilaguna.it). The undoubted advantage of Lido is that all Venetian attractions under the side - for example, to San Marco Square can be reached in just 15 minutes. Thus, it is quite possible to combine beach holidays with walks in Venice. Read more about this option in the article "Beaches of Venice".

Another variant - Lido Di-Jesolo (Lido di Jesolo). This resort is located east of Venice and has no less sandy and even a longer beach. From Venice Airport, again, not far - about 40 minutes by bus atvo (see www.atvo.it).

Easy to detect such places like Erakleia Mare. Eraclea Mare), Caorle (Caorle) and Bibione (Bibione), It is also quite simple to get by ATVO buses.

To the south of Venice there is a pretty town of Chioggia with a resort adjacent to it Sotomomarina (SotTomarina). The beaches here are also sandy, and the infrastructure is well developed, but the public transport is not so comfortable and quickly, as to the above resorts. In this case (especially if you are going to rest with young children) it makes sense to book a transfer (see) or take a rental car, the benefit of doing this can be directly at the airport (see www.rentalcars.com, www.economybookings.com and similar sites).

By the way, all these resorts can be reached not only through Venice Airport (Aeroporto Di Venezia Marco Polo, VCE), but also through nearby Treviso Airport (Aeroporto Di Treviso Antonio Canova, TSF), as well as through Verona Airport (Aeroporto Di Verona Valerio Catullo, VRN). However, about Verona should say a few words separately.

Venice. General Information + Beaches Venice

Getting to the beach resorts of Italy through Verona, perhaps, not the most successful idea (if only it is not to turn up cheap tickets - see www.skyscanner.ru, www.momondo.ru, www.aviasales.ru and other air tickets search engines). However, it is impossible not to notice that from Verona hand to file to Lake Garda (Lago Di Garda), where there are beaches too. It is clear that the beach holiday on the shores of the Priellpy lake is not at all the same as resting on the sea. However, this opportunity should not be overlooked. Especially since Garda is interesting not only as a beach, but also as a thermal resort. From this point of view, it is worth seeing in particular to Sirmione (Sirmione).

However, back to sea resorts, and pay attention to the next moment. Verona may be interesting as a transit point on the way to the beach resorts of the Adriatic in the event that you are planning to go to Italy by the train (more on railway communications between Russia and Italy).

Again, like Verona, Milan boasts closeness to lakes. In addition to Garda, it is worth mentioning at least two lakes - Como (Lago di Como) and Maggiore (Lago Maggiore)- Where you can also find the beaches.

Genoa, as already mentioned, is located on the shores of the Ligurian Sea, and to the beach resorts of Liguria it is most convenient to get everything through Milan, but just through the genhange. In addition, from Russia, it is possible not only to fly without transfers, but also to reach direct train. Options are a huge set: there are sandy, and pebble beaches in Liguria.

To the west of Genoa, for example, are San Remo. (San Remo), Diano Marina (Diano Marina), Alassio ALASSIO), Pietra Ligure (Pietra Ligure) and Final Ligure (Final Ligure). The beaches in the western part of Liguria are quite wide, extended, often sandy, although pebbles are often found. All these places are not so far from Genoa, but if you wish, you can find beaches and closer: for example, in Arenzno. (Arenzano) - Here is a pebble beach - or in Kogolelo (Cogoleto) - Beaches are partially sandy, partially pebble.

East of Genoa, too many interesting places. For the most part, the beaches of Eastern Liguria are pebble and no longer differ (probably, with the exception of the beach in the lava, Lavagna). But the water here is the purest and places picturesque. Attention should be paid, for example, on Sori. (Sori) and Camoche (Camogli) - Both town are located next to Genoa. A little further is located Santa Margherita Ligure SANTA MARGHERITA LIGURE). Even further - Sestry-Levante (Sestri Levante); Here, by the way, there is a wonderful sandy beach. The farther, the strongest becomes the relief, however, and there are places for swimming. There are beaches even in Cinckwe-Terre. The most interesting - in Monterosso al-Mare (Monterosso Al Mare): There is both sand and pebble (more).

All listed liguria resorts are reached by railway transport. Genova Cristoforo Colombo, Goa Airport (Aeroporto Di Genova Cristoforo Colombo, Goa), in turn, has a convenient communication with Sestri Ponente Aeroporto railway station.

A detailed overview of the beach resorts of the Ligurian coast is presented in this article.

Let's go to the shore of the Adriatic Sea, where, in addition to the considered resorts, is not the most Rimini (Rimini). Wide sandy beaches, a calm sea and excellently developed tourist infrastructure - all this attracts a huge number of beach holiday lovers in Rimini and its surrounding. Here there is a place for families with children, and for noisy youth, and for tourists of old age (Read more about hotels and Rimini areas, read). In addition, this is a favorite direction of Russian tour operators. Therefore, before thinking about an independent trip to Rimini, it is worth carefully studying the offers to travel agencies (you can see on the same). The likelihood is great to buy a tour in Rimini will be cheaper than to organize holidays yourself.

It is convenient that in Rimini has its own international airport (Aeroporto di Rimini Federico Fellini, RMI), from where, if you wish, you can even walk to some hotels (see, for example, Hotel Ascot). In addition, in Rimini, it is convenient to get through Bologna Airport (Aeroporto Di Bologna Guglielmo Marconi, Blq).

At the same time, it is absolutely necessary to limit Rimini and its closest neighborhoods. If you like the Adriatic, but you do not attract a rimini nor Ricchone (Riccione)nor Cattolica (Cattolica)nor Milano Marittima (Milano Marittima), then you should look at the south Pesar (Pesaro), Fano (Fano) and Senigallia (Senigallia). Here - all the same wide sandy beaches and a smooth entrance to the sea. To these resorts is also convenient to get through Rimini Airport. It is worth keeping in mind and Ancona Airport (Aeroporto Delle Marche, AOI).

North of Rimini you can pay attention to such places as Lido Adriano (Lido Adriano) and Punta Marina (Punta Marina)that is not far from Ravenna.

Pisa is perfectly suitable as a transit point on the way to the spacious sandy beaches of the so-called Tuscan Riviera (it is Versilia, Versilia). In particular, from Pisa Airport (Aeroporto Di Pisa Galileo Galilei, PSA) in just a half with a small bus (For more details, see www.pisa-airport.com) to such popular seaside resorts as Viareggio (Viareggio) and Lido di Kamayor (Lido Di Camaiore). Nearby too Fort Dei Marmi (Forte dei Marmi), Marina Di Mass (Marina di Massa) and Marina di Carrara (Marina di Carrara).

Oriental Liguria with its cozy beaches, picturesque bays and other natural beauty, by and large, too close, and if you are interested in this particular region, then the Pisa should keep in mind as an alternative to the Genoa considered.

Also, pay attention to the south of Pisa. Interesting places a lot: for example, Marina dichchina (Marina di Cecina), San Vincenzo (San Vincenzo) and Follonica (Follonica). These are quite calm resorts, perfectly suitable for family holidays with children.

Separately worth saying about the island Elbe (ELBA)where you can find the beaches for every taste: and sandy, and pebble, and stony. On the Elbe, by the way, there is a private small airport (Aeroporto Dell "Elba). This can fly from Pisa (see www.silverairitalia.it) and some other cities. A more traditional way to get to Elbe - Ferry from Piombino (PIOMBINO), Before Pyombino can be reached in the train.

Additional information about Tuscany beach resorts can be learned in this article. By the way, before all of the above sections can be reached through Flinenza (Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola, FLR). Nevertheless, Pisa is closer and flying to Pisa (at least from Russia) is more convenient and cheaper than in Florence.

The surroundings of Rome Beach resorts are also not deprived (the beaches here are completely sandy). For example, just a few minutes drive from the Roman Airport Fiumicino (Aeroporto Di Roma-Fiumicino Leonardo Da Vinci, FCO) is a resort town Lido Di-Ottia (Lido di Ostia). From the point of view of logistics, you will not think about anything better (you can get here from the airport by Cotral bus), but in terms of the quality of your holiday there are options much more interesting.

If you navigate the closest neighborhood of the Italian capital, then you should pay attention to Anzio (Anzio) and Nettuno (Nettuno). From Rome to these resorts, it is convenient to get through the railway - to go about an hour.

But perhaps the most interesting beach resorts are south. This is, above all, San Felic Chirceo San Felice Circeo, Terracina TERRACINA, Sperlong (Sperlonga) and Gaet. (Gaeta). True, by public transport to get to these places is not as convenient, as before Anzio and Nettuno. Therefore, in addition, we also mention about Formi (Formia): The beaches here are and from Rome can be reached by direct train. In addition, from the railway station formy, you can easily take a taxi or by bus to the same Gaeta - ride about 15 minutes.

Concerning Sorrento (Sorrento), then directly in the city and the beaches as such almost no. As one of the few happy exceptions, it is possible to note except La Tonnarella with access to a small private beach (small pebbles). However, Sorrento is convenient to get from Naples (for example, by train along the Circumvesuviana railway - see www.eavsrl.it). From the point of view of a beach holiday in Sorrento makes sense to navigate such places like Meta (Meta) and Marina di Puolo (Marina di Puolo).

At the Amalftinsky coast with beaches, the situation is better - you can swim and sunbathe as in the mentioned Amalfi (Amalfi) and Positano Positano)and in other towns - Praiano. (Praiano), Mayori. (Maiori), Minori. (Minori) etc. Beaches here are pebble, small and very picturesque. From Naples to Amalfitan can be reached bus (see www.sitasudtrasporti.it) directly or with a transfer to Salerno (first on the railway, and then again by bus).

By the south of Salerno, you can pay attention to Pestum (PAESTUM), Agropoli (Agropoli) and Marina di Ashey (Marina di Ascea). Beaches here are sandy, the prices are democratic, but the resort infrastructure is often developed very well. But it is convenient to get from Naples - an hour and a half ride through the railway. Not so convenient to get to such places like Santa Maria di Castellabate (Santa Maria di Castelllabate) and cape Palinuro (Capo Palinuro). However, they also deserve mention, and if you travel by car, look at them with special attention.

One of the most interesting places in the vicinity of Naples - is the island Ischia (ISCHIA). There are a lot of beaches on this, and in addition to them - thermal sources. You can get on the ferry.

It is worth keeping in mind in particular airport Lameza-Terme. (Aeroporto di Lamezia Terme, Suf). North of it is, for example, Amatey (Amantea), and south - Tropy. (Tropea) With their wonderful sandy beaches. This is already Calabria - the region is far from the richest, but the sea and the beaches are excellent here. It should be noted that to many resorts of Calabria, including Amatery and Tropean, it is quite possible to get along the railway from the same Naples or even from Rome (although it is not close to ride, of course). Another Calabria Airport is in Reggio Calabria (Reggio Calabria, Aeroporto Dello Stretto, REG). Nearby we note such a resort as Shill (SCILLA).

Do not miss sights. You can navigate here on the region Salento (Salento) - "Heel of Italy", - in general, and places like Galipoli (Galipoli), Otranto Otranto) And their closest surroundings, in particular. Of interest is also the region Gargano (Gargano) - "Spur of the Italian boot." And even B. Bari (BARI) and Brindisi. (Brindisi)The main local airports are located (Aeroporto Di Bari-Palese, Bri, and Aeroporto Di Brindisi-Casale, BDS), you can find a beach holiday facilities.

Like most other tourists, having visited it only in one city of Italy, (in my case it was Rome) I mentally put a tick opposite this country - noted, so to speak. What was my surprise when I arrived at the north of the country, and a year later - on her south. Then I realized that two different parts of Italy are like two separate world. They differ in all - architecture, geographical features, culture and traditions, character of people, their attitude towards tourists, even views of pizza, in the end.

Up until the first half of the XIX century, there were many different states on the territory of the current Italy, which were not related to each other, although their inhabitants also talked to similar languages. Most of them were in a state of socio-economic decline than the population was extremely displeased. In the 1930s, a revolutionary organization called "Young Italy", which advocated the creation of a united country and its national independence. It reached its final goal in the early 1970s, when Rome became the capital of the united state. This movement is called the beautiful word of the risor (in Italian, it means "revival").

Today, Italy is divided into 20 regions, which, in turn, consist of several provinces. Of these twenty five have a special autonomous status and at least one, in addition to Italian, official language. It is possible to move on them freely both by car and by public transport, especially convenient to use the railway system, which connects the whole country from the north to the south. Before proceeding to the description of each part, I note that all regions, even the smallest, are worthy of visits.

Valle d'Aosta)

I will begin, perhaps, from the most northern, and, probably, the "Netheless" region of the country itself. He enters the top five, which I spoke about in the previous paragraph. Being on the border with France, Valle-d 'has taken over a lot of her neighbor, including language, French here is recognized as official, there are also several dialects. The administrative center is a wonderful city that many is called "Alpine Rome" due to well-preserved antique buildings.

The region itself, surrounded by the highest mountains of Europe (Mont Blanc, Grand Paradise, Monte Rosa and Matterhorn, each is more than 4000 m), is famous for its premium ski resorts, whose total length exceeds 1000 km. Ski-pass for six days costs more than 300 EUR, and among the tracks are dominated by red.

Also in the region there are many locks, the most famous of which is called Fenis (Castello Di Fenis). In this majestic medieval structure with several towers and a double defensive wall, you can mentally move into the era of knights thanks to his little mystical atmosphere.

As for the gastronomic delights of the region, be sure to try the "fontina" cheese, which is manufactured in small inquiry of this area since the XIII century. As for the wines, Fumin is considered the most popular, Muscat Blanc Di Chambave and Petite Arvine, which are produced in high mountain alpine vineyards.

Piemonte (Piemonte)

The region is famous for many lakes. Major, Garda, Isae. If you are in these parts, be sure to share the day at least one lake - you can not miss such beauty. Lovers of outdoor activities will appreciate many hiking trails and cycling routes, tennis courts and golf courses.

Here is one of the largest and most vintage national parks of the country - "Stelvio" (Parco Nazionale Dello Stelvio). It is characterized by a wide variety of flora and fauna, so do not be surprised if the predatory Berkut will fly over during the walk, and several young deer will come from the forest.

Thanks to a large number of lakes, is famous for dishes cooked from freshwater fish, and she is also home to Mascarpone cheese, which is used to prepare many desserts. Being in Milan, be sure to order Milanese Risotto (Risotto Alla Milanese), and, of course, do not forget about Sparkling Wine Franciato (Franciacorta), the so-called Italian champagne, which is located near the city.

Trentino - Alto Adige (Trentino-Alto Adige)

A feature of this region is its division into two parts - the Southern Italy-speaking Trentino (in honor of the capital - the city of Trento) and the North Alto Adige (he also zyudirol), where, as in neighboring Austria, they speak German. Earlier, Trentino - Alto Adige was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which also had a tremendous impact on his development.

Today, this region is especially loved by the fans of winter sports - ski resorts are located in the heart of Zyudtirol, among the solutions of the Dolomite Alps. There are a lot of tracks, so they are suitable for both beginners, and the pro, their quality - at the highest level, and prices are much more pleasant than in the French part of the country. In particular, Ski-Pass is 6 days in the 160 EUR area. In addition, the region is recognized by the World Mountaineering Center, so if you always wanted to try this extreme sport, they are the road here.

As for winemaking, this is famous for the southern part (as it should be - the Italians great wine lovers than the Germans), the most popular brands - Vino Santo and Trentodoc. The North part specializes in the cultivation of apples and all sorts of dishes of them, mainly desserts.

Veneto (Veneto)

Probably one of the most popular among Russian tourists part of the country. The capital of the region is a unique and romantic Venice, which you can read. Also worth visiting Verona, where, according to Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet lived.

In addition to romantic and cozy cities, famous for good beaches. I can vouch for Caorle (Caorle) - a typical fishing village with a beautiful area and a port, which is worth come at dawn, when boats with catch are returned from the sea.

If you want to escape from the crowd of tourists, leaving in, which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the summer there is incredibly beautiful, calmly and, importantly, cool, and at the beginning of the winter the ski season opens.

In addition to the exquisite wines (the best in the region - Leonildo Pieropan, Amarone Della Valpolicella and Bardolino Classico), it is worth trying the famous grape vodka. In local restaurants, designed not to tourists, you will not find ordinary pastes, pizza and lasagna - the kitchen is different from the average Italian. I advise you to try fresh seafood and Venezian liver (Fegato Alla Veneziana), which is prepared on a special recipe with bow and red wine.

Friuli Venice-Julia (Friuli Venezia Giulia)

This is a small region in which there is all at once: both beautiful architecture, and snow-covered slopes, and beaches, and opportunities for agrotourism. The administrative capital is the Magic Trieste, which during the prosperity of Austria-Hungary was an important political and cultural center, and today the mixture of the culture of Eastern and Western Europe is famous.

In my opinion, it's worth going here in the spring to admire the unique architecture of Trieste and visit the famous festival of Cantina Apert (Cantine Aperte) that in the Italian means "open wine cellars". On it you can taste a set of wines, as well as get advice from sommelier experts and find out the answers to all your questions.

By the way, about winemaking: Friuli-Venice-Julia is famous for its white wines, so each tourist must try the local Pinot Grigio. Restaurants pay attention to seafood dishes and Prostto San Daniele - the gastronomic pride of the region.

Emilia-Romagna (Emilia-Romagna)

This is perhaps the most promoted region of the Adriatic Riviera, since Rimini is located here - the resort's most popular among Russian tourists. The administrative capital is the city with the oldest European University and magnificent architecture.

In addition to the noisy tourist rimini, there are many quiet cities with a clean beach - for example, San Mauro Mare. Fans of sports will be delighted with museums dedicated to such automotive giants like Ferrari, Lamborgini, Dukati, Macerati.

Moreover, it is one of the main gastronomic centers of Italy - it was here that the traditional Italian lasagna appeared, the famous bolognese sauce, a hip wine Lambrisco, Parmesan's delicious cheese.

Tuscany (Toscana)

The region of vineyards, endless green fields, the birthplace of many great artists, cities with incredible cathedrals - all this she is ,. Her capital is the famous Florence, which cannot be not falling in love (why do you know).

Here, just half an hour, the train is located, where it is worth calling for a while to take a photo with a falling tower on his palm (do not laugh - this is Must DO). Not far is located - the city, whose symbols are Wine Chianti and horse races fell (Il Palio).

Here you can relax on the sea - the largest port of Tuscany is located in Livorno, and there are many small cities nearby, which are perfect for a relaxing family holiday. I can not not mention the island of Elba, where at one time we were referred to Napoleon. From the city of Piombino there, huge ferries are sent daily, which offer an amazing view as they approach the destination. The island is worth spending a day - the most beautiful landscapes and luxury villas will remain in your memory for a long time.

To confess, having arrived in Rome for a week, on the last day I wanted something else to me - or because of the heat, or because of the overdose architectural works of art, and we began to think where to go. There were three options - the thermal resort of Fiugji, Chircheo National Park, the coastal resort of Gaeta. We chose the third and completely did not lose! Coming out of the train, we breathed fresh sea air and, probably, immediately fell in love with this cozy, not spoiled by tourist attention. In addition to a very good beach holiday, the region is famous for Park Monte Orlando. Be sure to raise there. There you can wander a couple of hours, admiring the views on the coast.

Having hungry, sit in a restaurant and order, of course, Spaghetti Carbonara, which first appeared in Lazio. It is also worth trying the so-called telephone wires (Suppli Al Telefono) - delicious rice balls with a filling from Mozarella. From white wines, we taste white Frascati and Marino, from the Reds very advise Aprilia.

Molise (Molise)

This small region is not very popular with tourists, but in vain - arriving here, you will feel the discoverer - the local beaches and parks and parks are so not died. It seems that the time has stopped here - all the main highways connecting the south and north, bypass Molise. Instead, there are a lot of "Tratturi" - vintage roads, which many years ago were actively used by the shepherds.

Almost all: many archaeological excavations, medieval abbey, vintage castles, one of which - Montfort - is located in the administrative capital of Campobasso. Are interested in? Go to the village of the spermnaya, where settlements (one of the first in Europe) appeared about 700 thousand years ago. Perhaps, if you want to taste that sized Italian life, which films are removed about - you are here.

As for gastronomic delights, being on the coast, pay attention to seafood dishes. There are several pasta factories in the region - Paradise for pasta lovers. From alcoholic beverages, local ultimately advise to try a dairy liquor and a cherry tincture.

Campaignia (Campania)

In this region, you can spend several months and do not have time to explore it completely, but you can only stay here and fall in love once and forever. It is here that the Amalfitan coast is located, where it is absolutely impossible to find at least one ugly place - which is worth only the villa Roufolo in Ravello.

There are many pedestrian routes, such as the god trail (Sentiero Degli Dei). Passing along it and admiring the opening species, I really thought it was something divine, and that all this would not appear - so beautiful there.

Here are the famous Pompeii and Vesuvius volcano - the only acting volcano in Europe, as well as the administrative capital of the region. It was established by the glory of a very dirty and unsafe city, but many forgive it for him for the most delicious pizza in the world.

In addition to the Neapolitan Pizza, the campaign is home to my favorite cheese - Mozarella. The lemons are grown, which are then used to create lemoncells - sour, but very tasty liqueur. I advise you to try the red semi-sweet Falenno from the wines.

Apulia (Paglia)

Apulia is, so to speak, heel, if you represent Italy in the form of a boot. The region is famous for clean beaches, which tourists have not yet too chosen. Particularly beautiful, as it seems to me, the area next to Castriano del Capo and Santa Maria Del Capo and Santa Maria Del Leuk. The coast is cut by wild cliffs and is littered with grotto with water azure color, and when you first see it, it seems that you can spend eternity here.

The administrative capital is the cozy city of Bari, which is compared with Paris himself. This is a very popular place of pilgrimage Christians, since it is here that there are the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Locals are very loved by the paste, the most popular and unusual is Orectette (ORECCHIETTE) - Little pasta with repo. Such an unusual combination, as a rule, is to taste far from everyone, but it is worth trying this dish. There is a city in the region where the best Mussels of Italy are mined. I recommend primitivo di manduria from red wines, from White - Locorotondo.

Basilicata (Basilicata)

This region is not at all spoiled by the attention of tourists, and therefore he, in fact, is beautiful. Semi-empty beaches with transparent water attract their untouchedness and very low-cost prices for the rest of those few travelers who still come to the pearl of southern Italy.

The main pride of the region is, of course, the purest coast. In addition to simple beaches there are several very worthy resorts with thermal sources - for example, the terms of La Calda and the terms of Rapolla. I advise special attention to pay a small town of Maratea - it is here that the statue of Christ the Savior is located. Speaking at a height of 22 meters, it is the second in the world in magnitude after a statue in Rio. Describe its greatness and beauty opening from the mountain landscapes is stupid - you need to see it yourself.

In the basilicate there are many unusual culinary delights - for example, zrazy from bits (gnummarieddi) or omelet with horseradish (Rafanata). From the wines here produce Aglianico del vulture, which is not far from the extinct volcano vultte. It has a light berry taste and, as a rule, very much like representatives of beautiful sex.

Calabria (Calabria)

The hottest, most southern region of the country. The favorite place of rest is the Italians themselves, and they should be configured in this regard. It must be said that in some cities there are many Russians - for example, in the rock there is a whole company that sells real estate to our citizens. It is also worth being ready for the fact that most of the local population does not speak English, so you will write down all the basic phrases in Italian in advance. However, in the capital - - you most likely there will be no such problems.

Be sure to visit Diamond. I was told that in contrast to all other cities on the coast, he did not have any highlight that would attract tourists. After many meetings, the authorities made a very beautiful embankment and invited artists to draw pictures on the walls of the city. It seems to me, it turned out very unusual and interesting.

What is famous in the sphere of gastronomy - this is, first of all, Limoncello, which I have already told a little higher. In local pastes, the pasta varieties are most often used (Fileja), and here they produce delicious Pekorino cheese.

Sardinia (Sardegna)

This Paradise Island is hotly love with many people whose surnames can be found in the Forbes list. On the northeast coast of Costa Smeralda are villages many including Russian millionaires. However, do not think that budget recreation is impossible here - the local prices are not too different from the prices in mainland Italy.

On Sardinia there are countless beaches and resorts for every taste. For example, Porto Cervo is popular with people who love luxurious rest, Porto Rotondo is suitable for diving, and Bayya is famous for noisy nightlife and loud parties.

Most tourists come to the island for the sake of the beach holiday and completely forget about all the other. Do not commit this mistake, go to the capital of the region - Cagliari. There you will definitely walk through the historical center and climb the Bastion of St. Remy (Bastione Di San Remy), offering a breathtaking view of the city and the sea.

Speaking of local delicacies, you can make a list of several tens of points, so allocate something is extremely difficult. Perhaps this is a pasta or risotto with Bottarga - this is dried tuna caviar, from which all locals go crazy. Be sure to try Malvasia (Malvasia) is a very gentle and light dessert wine.

Sicily (Sicilia)

The island famous for his mafia clans in reality is not so terrible as much as many describes it. Picturesque landscapes fall in love with thousands of tourists, and the acting volcano Etna seemed to challenge the most bold of them, offering to climb to the top.

The capital of the island - - many are deservedly called the open-air museum, combining in themselves the incompatible. So, walking around the city, you will be held along the typical Turkish streets, come across the Arab mosques and see the ancient Roman architecture.

In Sicily, it is impossible to bother. In Syracuses, you will find many ancient excavations, in Messina listen to the legends who roam here from the times of Homer, and in Kathana it is worth a trip at least in order to look at the city, which is located at the foot of Etné and it would not be once again born.

As for Sicilian cuisine, they say that it is necessary to try the paste with the ink Caracatar, because of which it looks somewhat exotic. From alcohol here in honor of the sophisticated and strong Marsala, Moscato, Faro-Di-Messina.

Have something to add?

Solar Italy, washed by the transparent waters of the four seas, is considered to be a great place for a beach holiday. No wonder she has the longest coastal line in Europe. Wide beaches, awarded blue flags, beautiful small sand, warm climate, emerald water and a varied animal world - a distinctive feature of the best sea resorts of Italy.

A unforgettable vacation in a comfortable hotel on the banks of the azure coast offers not only the mainland, but also scattered through the Mediterranean Island - Sardinia, Elba, Sicily.

Today, Blogoitaliano has made for you a selection of the best resorts of Italy to the sea, opening all the variety of images of the perfect holiday.
