Visit Italy This Summer

By Leora Kahn

 

Reasons To Travel To Italy THIS Summer!

It's the perfect time to enjoy la dolce vita.

 

1. Visit the Amalfi Coast in June because the weather is outstanding!

The infamous Tuscan sun is not at full affect yet, and therefore the weather is perfect! The Amalfi Coast is by far one of the most beautiful Italian destinations, and this is the perfect time to take advantage of its splendor.

2. Taking an impulsive trip to the beach is perfectly acceptable.

Italian beaches are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You must dedicate several hours to sit back, relax, and take in that Tuscan sun on the beautiful Mediterranean beaches.

3. Gelato, duh.

Oh, my, gelato. If there is one thing I know for sure, it is this: there will never be a shortage of Gelato in Italy. This wonderful delectable desert is the perfect treat to cool off in a hot summer day. And there is no problem with getting multiple servings a day!

4. More hours of daylight for traveling

The most common problem I hear from travelers, is that there are not enough hours in the day! There is always too much to do or see, and not enough time. This is exactly why traveling in the summer is perfect, more daylight!! Wake up early and stay out later. Accomplish absolutely everything on your to-do list.

5. Antipasti

Before you even begin your heavenly meal, you get to indulge in a massive plate of cheeses, olives, prosciutto, etc. Each region has its own staple antipasto, so you’ll never have the same two meals twice! Italians sure do love their food, and plenty of it!

Andiamo a Mare!

Have you been wondering where the Italians of Florence escape the summer heat? Well then you should probably head the town of Castiglioncello or anywhere in the province of Livorno to find out!

 Don’t be fooled by the rocks, pebbles & green forest pine trees when approaching the area because eventually it opens up to a beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear waters. 

One area in particular, Castiglioncello, was actually a famous destination for celebrities in the 1960’s and upon arriving you will see why!

If you plan on visiting the beach rent one the of umbrella chairs for anywhere between 15-20, this also gives you access to changing rooms, showers, toilets and café’s!

 

If you prefer day clubs and a little bit of peace and quiet, head to one of the day resorts in the area where you also will have access to a pool (one even has an infinity pool). Plus, it is very rare you will find any tourists here—allowing you the true Italian authentic summer experience!

 

 

So now you know, spending the summer in Florence does not have to be in the hot city center, head to the mare!!
