Discover Beach Holidays In Italy
March 4, 2010
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.
There is one beach location that has drawn the crowds for many years, and it is in Sardinia that some of the best beaches in Europe are to be found. With the Mediterranean lapping the coast, it is no wonder there is such a rich selection of resorts to choose from.
Another popular destination, though not for its beaches, is Tuscany. However, set in the breathtaking region of Monte Argentario lie some amazing beaches which just beckon visitors to relax.
There are some exceptional private villas available for hire in this region, and though the ocean waters are always inviting, access to a private pool is always good. Throughout Italy, other top beach destinations include those around Gallipoli, whilst the Sicilian coastal town of Syracuse is increasing in popularity.
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 those looking for the full beach experience, there is little that can compare with the resorts of Viareggio and Rimini on the west and east coasts respectively. The former is full of opulence and decadence, whilst the latter is a heady mix of culture and partying.
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.
