If you’re a fan of big-name sights, charming, clifftop towns and hearty grub, you’ll be sorted on holidays to Italy.
The famous boot
Italy holidays fit the bill for both beach getaways and city breaks. This place is the king of mixing sunbathing with sightseeing. Whether you’re dozing on Sorrento’s cliff-backed lidos or Sicily’s cosy coves, you’re never far from a top-billed landmark.
Sight-packed south
Campania’s the Italy you’ve seen plastered over postcards. Here, chocolate-box towns come with harbours full of tavernas – the blue and white tablecloth kind. Sorrento’s the head honcho, with its Bay of Naples outlook and cute, little shopping lanes. It’s also handy for daytripping – you can hop on a ferry, train or bus to the ancient ruins of Pompeii, massive Mount Vesuvis or glam Capri.
Sophisticated Sicily
Sicily’s the island being kicked by the boot. It’s almost touching the mainland, but there’s a whole different vibe. This place does great-value package holidays for history buffs. The isle’s scattered with all sorts of Greek temples, Roman villas and Norman cathedrals. All that said, Sicily’s got a family-friendly face, too. Its dinky villages are perfect for broods, with manmade beaches, lidos and café-stuffed proms.
