That Italy is one of the most popular holiday destinations is not a surprise of course. However, what is surprising is that a only a small number of holidays in Italy are taken by the coast. With such an array of beach resorts, it is time more people discovered what is on offer.
One beach resort that has always been a magnet for holidaymakers is Sardinia. Widely accepted as having some of the most amazing sands and sea throughout the Mediterranean, the high quality villas and hotels that serve the area are in good supply.
One of the most popular destinations throughout Italy is Tuscany of course; with amazing scenery, beautiful climate and wonderful food and drink. However, the coast is often neglected. Visitors here should certainly check out the benefits of the beaches of Monte Argentario.
Here in particular there are some wonderful private villas which can be rented for days or weeks at a time. Though the sea waters are inviting, the appeal of a private pool to relax in through the day or night is always welcome. Other great destinations include the beaches in Gallipoli and Sicily, where Syracuse is a always welcoming.
The benefits of a holiday in Sicily offer much more than this however, and a trip that includes the Egadi Islands is always memorable. Set in amazingly clear seas, it is no wonder the seafood here is well respected throughout the country. As we’re talking about Italy; that is saying a lot!
For a full on beach experience, Viareggio on the western coast has amazingly decadent seafront hotels. Whilst to the east Rimini is a place to head to for those full of the party spirit, though there is also a lot to offer for those looking for culture and tradition.
Holidays in Italy are always full of opportunities, and there is no reason why beaches cannot play a full part in this. With wonderful foods and wines to enjoy too, relaxing as the warm seas gently lap against the white sands is hard to beat.
