List of regions
Sicily's long history as Italy's independent-minded island gives it allure matched only by it's ancient landmarks, sun-drenched beaches and cobbled lanes filled with tempting meals and boisterous Sicilian conversation.
While the likes of Tuscany and Rome grab the headlines, sun-kissed Puglia, at the heel of the boot, offers a more understated and – some say – more authentic alternative to the crowds.
That great crumple in Southern Europe’s tectonic geography – the Alps – spills down into northern Italy, leaving a picture-perfect landscape of shimmering lakes and some of the country’s most impressive cities in its wake.
The Amalfi Coast stretches along the Sorrentine Peninsula in the south of Italy and is famous for its tantalising combination of historical cathedrals, grottoes and ancient villas, fine Neapolitan cuisine and the outstanding natural beauty of its scenery.
Tailor-made for both fly-drive holidays and short breaks, the stunning scenery, artistic heritage and delicious cuisine of Tuscany and neighbouring Umbria truly enchant.
Venice, on the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy, is a floating treasure-trove containing more works of artistic and historical significance per square metre than any other city in the world.
