Agriturismo Holidays In Italy
Monday, March 24th, 2008For some people, the perfect holiday might be summarized as follows: arrive at the airport, check into a luxury hotel, spend the rest of the time at the pool or the beach with the latest bestseller. That may be a good way to unwind and indulge in a bit of unstructured, do-nothing time, but it has always seemed to me to be a bit of a waste, especially when you are a foreign country. Not that I am advocating racing around museums or culturally worthy sights, especially when the weather is hot and you are faced with queues and cross children, but maybe there is a way to have the best of both worlds.
Corniqlia - A Cozy Costal Village In The Italian Riviera
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008If you like to travel and you like hiking, then you really should make the time and visit a tiny fishing village in Italy called Corniglia.
Known as the 3rd town of the “five lands” of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is a frazione (the Italian word for fraction) of another nearby hamlet, Vernazza.
The Cinque Terre - made up of it’s five small villages, including Corniglia an Vernazza is found in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, Italy - what a mouthful! Of the five towns, Corniglia is considered to be the “quiet” town - particularly since it doesn’t have the glamor of an accessible beach front.
Visiting Lake Garda In Italy
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Lake Garda, the inland lake in north-east Italy, boasts more than 45 kilometres of beaches among its many attractions. It should come as no surprise that this is a region that tourists are increasingly flocking to reach.
On a warm June day here, tourists sit and admire the spectacular Alpine scenery reflecting in the still, delicate waters of Lake Garda. This region of Italy has a unique beauty - a beauty that is making it more and more popular with visitors from elsewhere in Europe and beyond.
A Must Visit Tourism Destination Is Italy
Monday, January 21st, 2008Having a Great Time in Italy
If by any chance Europe comes up, one place that the individual must visit is Italy. This country has a lot of history and culture and those who lived in this part of the world were those who established most of the things people enjoy today.
Exploring this country will take more than a week to do. This is because there are so many cities to choose from so it is best to plan the itinerary.
Italian Vacations
Saturday, January 19th, 2008One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy during the summer holidays. Having read information about the tours we decided to do without travel agencies. We didn’t want to stick to strict programs, to be in the crowds of tourists, losing lots of possibilities to get acquainted with the country more intimately so we started to think over our trip.
My Journey To Rome
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008I decided to share my impressions about the trip to Rome as my emotions still linger…
The decision to go to Italy was made shortly before the journey, so we didn’t have much time to prepare for that. But we managed to organize the trip as quickly as possible. And, as it turned out, we planned everything very well.
Rome covered us in the suffocating heat as it’s extremely hot in Rome in August. We wanted to hire a taxi but didn’t like the faces of the drivers approaching us, so we decided to take a suburban train called “Leonardo Express”. I should say it’s rather comfortable and inexpensive.
Bay Of Naples - Not All Hot Air (part 1)
Monday, January 14th, 2008What a wonderful location for a vacation or a holiday home. Apart from the beautiful weather, fabulous italian food and the wonderful hospitality - there is much to admire in this area of Campania. From the glorious views of the Bay of Naples, to Sorrento, Pompei, Mt Vesuvius, Positano, Amalfi and Capri.
Bay Of Naples - Not All Hot Air (part 2)!
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008Although the area’s past history is unmissable (see part 1), there is plenty to admire today about this famous area of Italy.
Capri is a must. If you go during July and August the island is overrun with tourists. There are many ferries running from the various ports on the main land. Capri’s port is very busy but you can escape the bedlam by heading for Anacapri by bus or taxi. Anacapri has splendid shops and restaurants but do take the chair lift to the summit. You can admire the panoramic view from the cafe on the summit. Of course, Capri town is a must see! The chic shops and a glimpse of a celeb is on offer. Be warned the town is extremely busy - only after the ferries have left can you really enjoy the town. Although a boat trip around the island is pleasant, the Blue Grotto is overrated.
