Southern Italy Travel Tips

Most visitors in Italy spend all their time in northern Italy, never venturing further south than Rome.

If you want to really get away from the crowds, you’d be smart to head south. The people who travel most in southern Italy are Italians – the area is famous for its beaches (among other things), so vacationing Italians and some from elsewhere in Europe make a beeline for the best beaches in Italy every summer.





You’ll be privileged to see what people are always calling "the real Italy" if you get away from the heavily tourist regions of the north. Plus, the south of Italy is definitely going to be cheaper to travel to than the north – and that’s always good news for any budget traveler.





Boasting one of Europe's most ancient societies, the South of Italy has a colorful, multicultural heritage captured in its unique history. A history of kings, queens, emperors, emirs, popes, knights, nobles, scholars, artists, poets, musicians, craftsmen, farmers and many others. It is the history of many peoples, many faiths and many languages.

Of all the wonderful places to visit in these Southern Italian pearls, we by far suggest you take a trip to Sorrento, located near the Amalfi Coast, in the Province of Naples.





The Sorrentine Peninsula has one of the most unique landscapes in the world, where hills, deep valleys and majestic mountains alternate, where orange and lemon trees can be found simply everywhere, and beautiful olive groves and vineyards make wonderful olive oil and wines, adding a special flavor to your plates. In a tidy and safe atmosphere, everybody will spend their ideal vacation here, having the opportunity to choose from nature and silence, health and culture, beaches, thermal treatments, boat excursions, visits to the old city centers rich in monasteries and cloisters, like the one of San Francesco in Sorrento; but let’s not forget the many sport activities, musical events, theatre performances, night clubs and bars.





Surrounded by Mediterranean type villas, this locality will not be forgotten easily once you leave. Experience staying in one of the gorgeous Sorrento villas for rent, which are unique, self-catering, panoramic beauties that you will find nowhere else. Come visit the true Pearl of the South!
