Popular Areas of Italy

Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre means Five Lands (in Italian), and this popular area offers five miles of rocky coast with five small villages (born in the 11th Century as fortresses) overlooking the sea, in the midst of two capes with hundreds of miles of beautiful paths. It offers a unique landscape with twisting coastal footpaths with breathtaking views; beautiful beaches with crystal transparent waters plus old churches, sanctuaries and castles.

Umbria and the Hilltowns
Umbria, the only Italian Region having neither a coastline or a border with other countries, is characterized by hills and historical towns such as Assisi (a World Heritage Site associated with St. Francis of Assisi), Norcia (the hometown of St. Benedict), Gubbio, Spoleto, Todi, Città di Castello, Orvieto, Castiglione del Lago, Narni, Amelia, and other small cities.

Tuscany and Hill Towns
Tuscany is a vibrant, lush and alluring region. From all-time favorite, San Gimignano and Cortona, to lesser known gems like Massa Marittima, Pitigliano and Anghiari, each one has its own distinctive atmosphere. Visitors come to Tuscany for many reasons - Be it the art, the countryside, the food or the wine, there is no shortage of things to see and do. The only question is where to begin.

Amalfi Coast And Neapolitan Riviera
The mild climate, the splendor of the coasts, the richness of its art and history, and the love for food make the Amalfi Coast and Neapolitan Riviera, the fascinating territory that it is. It offers a sea with intense colors and coasts packed with bays, coves and rock faces plus ancient pathways, some of which date back 2,000 years.

Italian Lakes
Adored by romantic poets as well as statesmen and royalty, the beautiful Italian lakes are stunning, with mountains that descend to meet the lakeshore and pretty lakeside towns. They are embedded with fishing villages, medieval castles, Renaissance palazzi and neoclassical villas, ancient ruins, and sumptuous gardens spilling right down the water's edge.

Sicily
One of the pearls of Southern Italy, Sicily is the largest of the Italian islands, just off the "toe" of Italy's "boot." Sicily is rich in UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the archeological area of Agrigento, the famous Valley of the Temples, and Syracuse with the Necropolis of Pantalica. On Sicily’s eastern edge is Mount Etna, one of Europe’s most active volcanoes.

Italian Riviera
The Italian Riviera is a spectacular coastline on the Ligurian Sea extending from the Italian-French border to Capo Corvo, near La Spezia and offering luxuriant mountains to the north and east, and the sapphire blue Mediterranean to the south and west with medieval hilltop hamlets, panoramic vistas, vibrant seaside villages and unspoiled beaches.
