Italy draws millions for its history, art, mountains and seaside villages. The focus on food, wine and coffee is a reason to visit alone. Italy has a long list of must see sights and unique adventures but overall you’ll very soon just enjoy ‘la dolce vita’.
Take on a cycling tour of the Italian Riviera, or if hiking is more your thing Cinque Terra or the dolomites await.
Low-key Levanto sits just north of the ‘5 towns’ of Cinque Terra and is an absolute delight. Here we had the best pizza of all time, now for us, that’s quite a statement!
The Chianti Classico wine can be identified the world over by the black rooster emblem appearing on the neck and seal of the bottle. So important is this exclusive branding that many towns in the region, like Greve, have actually appended Chianti to their name.
