First-time visitors to Italy rarely venture further south than Rome, but the wild landscapes and sun-soaked shores of southern Italy are worth leaving the capital for.

Whether you’re planning a day trip to soak in the highlights or embarking on a multi-day tour, here are the must-see destinations.

Naples and Pompeii:

Naples, often considered the unofficial capital of the south, boasts one of Italy’s busiest ports, an impressive archaeological museum, and some of the finest pizza you’ll ever taste.

It serves as an excellent starting point for day trips to the UNESCO-listed ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as the enchanting island of Capri.

Amalfi Coast:

The colorful towns perched on the cliffs along the Amalfi Coast are undoubtedly a major attraction for visitors to the southern region. However, be prepared for bustling crowds during the summer season.

You can absorb the breathtaking scenery on a road trip from Naples to Sorrento, capture picturesque moments in Positano and Ravello, or bask in the sun on the Mediterranean beaches.

Sicily:

Sicily, an autonomous island located off the tip of Italy’s boot, feels like a distinct country in itself. It boasts stunning beaches, majestic landscapes, and an abundance of authentic Italian culture.

Explore the historic markets of Palermo, discover the ancient Greek ruins scattered across the island, visit the charming seaside town of Taormina, and embark on a hike around Mt. Etna, one of Europe’s most active volcanoes.

Puglia:

Stretching along the eastern coast of Italy, Puglia is renowned for its long stretches of sunny shores, making it a popular summer destination for both Italians and international travelers. This region is also celebrated for its olive oil, seafood, and the unique trulli houses of Alberobello, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
