While Italy’s best-known destinations remain perennial draws for millions of travelers, there are many stunning places for those keen on exploring the country’s less-trodden paths. Here are five areas to consider for vacations this year.
Experience the Basilicata Rivieras
When it comes to the coast in Basilicata, the mountainous region in southern Italy located in the “arch”of the country’s geographical boot, you get a twofer —Rivieras on both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas. If heading down from Rome, the Maratea shoreline is the first of the region’s beach areas you’ll happen upon, some 30 kilometers of beautiful seascape bound by Campania in the north and Calabria in the south.
