Choice of direction
Часто приходится слышать вопрос о том, где are the most beautiful beaches of Italy. This question is close to the rhetorical one, since everyone is free to put their own understanding into the concept of what is good and beautiful. But each section of the Italian coast has its own formed circle of fans who prefer these places to any other. Holidays on the coast of Italy varies in price parameters within fairly wide limits. And it gives a choice. It is interesting to note that the Italians themselves prefer to relax on the north coast of their country. As a rule, they are very demanding customers and they place high demands on the level of service. Therefore, they choose the aristocratic resorts of the northern part of the province of Tuscany.
In the east
The Adriatic coast of Italy is one of them.the most sought-after beach tourism destinations throughout continental Europe. Many people from different countries annually make their choice in favor of these places. And it is quite reasonable. Aristocratic beach resorts have existed here for centuries. Their main advantage should include wide sandy beaches, gently leaving under the water. This creates a comfortable swimming area even at a considerable distance from the coast. This part of the coast, stretching from Ravena to Pesaro, is often referred to as the "Italian Riviera".
By price parameters Adriatic coastItaly belongs to the most affordable. Everyone here can choose apartments in accordance with their level of capabilities - from luxury luxury hotels to small family-friendly coastal hotels. Resort villages of the coast have no clear boundaries and smoothly move from one to another. The most famous of them are Riccione, Rimini, Milano Marittima, Gabicce Mare and Pesaro.
Ligurian coast of Italy
Not less popular resort area of European importance is a section of the Mediterranean coast, which is a direct continuation of the French Riviera.
Often this stretch of shorelineadministratively related to the province of Liguria, called the "Italian Riviera". The Ligurian coast of Italy is one of the most significant beach resorts in the global tourist hierarchy. Geographic names such as San Remo, Allacio, Diano Marina are known to all. They have long and habitually set the level of world standards in the field of beach holidays. The coastal service infrastructure here is designed to receive a large number of tourists and successfully copes with its task.
Лигурийское побережье Италии находится примерно at the same latitude with the Adriatic. This provides not only the similarity of climatic parameters between the two neighboring areas of the peninsula, but also ensures their equal transport accessibility for tourists. And also puts these two areas in the conditions of natural economic competition. And this can not affect the favorable manner on the level of service and prices.
Tyrrhenian coast
Otherwise, this hundred kilometer stretch of coastCalabria's southern Italian province is called the Riviera of Lazio. This direction is not so actively visited by tourists, and in this circumstance considerable advantages already consist. The price level on the Tyrrhenian coast is lower in relation to the Adriatic and Liguria, and habitat conditions can be chosen at your discretion. The beach season on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea lasts from the beginning of May to November, and the weather during this period is sunny. Those who had a chance to rest in southern Italy, speak of the time spent here extremely positively.
Amalfi Coast
Одна из самых необычных и выразительных курортных The zones are located less than a hundred kilometers from Naples. The Amalfi coast is a very narrow strip of land, sandwiched between steep mountain slopes descending ledges to the Gulf of Salerno. It is not so easy to get to these beaches, and perhaps that is why they are classified as aristocratic and bohemian. For centuries, the vivid visual expressiveness of these places attracted European poets and artists. And it is impossible to include this tourist destination in any way. It is for those who consider themselves to be chosen. It should be noted that at least minimal climbing skills are necessary for safe living in these places. The slopes are too steep here.
Sicily
It’s not hard to guess what the Sicilians are responding to.on the question of where the best coast of Italy. Where else, if not on their favorite island? And they are not so much exaggerated. The beaches of Sicily are really excellent in every way, and the season continues until late autumn. And this island is far from being attracted only by a beach holiday. He has attracted people to himself for centuries. His richest culture and history has absorbed a lot from antiquity to the harsh realities depicted in Mario Puzo’s novels about the Sicilian Mafia. Sicily should be visited at least once in a lifetime.
Sardinia
Самым периферийным из всех побережий Италии is the coastline of the island of Sardinia. And in this remoteness many positive moments are covered. From the mainland, you can get here both by air and by sea. But this requires a certain amount of time and incurs additional costs. That is why the beaches of Sardinia are not so crowded, even at the height of the tourist season. By the way, ecologically Sardinia is one of the most prosperous Italian provinces, and this is noticeable on its beaches, even with the naked eye. Those who value cleanliness, peace and solitude more than anything else should include this remote coast in their travel route. The service and the tourist infrastructure of the island are not inferior to the European standards for beach holidays.
