Polignano a Mare may still be loved mostly by Italians, but it’s quickly gaining more and more attention from travelers worldwide. I’ve visited several times, and here are the top reasons it deserves a spot on your Puglia list.
Who visits Molise in winter? Almost no one. And that’s a mistake. In just two days, I found mountains without the crowds, waterfalls glowing turquoise against bare winter trees, and villages that look like fairytales—or ghost towns. Here’s what 2 days in January looked like.
Gravina in Puglia, called by me the ‘uglier’ sister of the famous Matera, is a hidden gem usually skipped by tourists. Many don’t even know it exists, despite the fact it’s only a 30-minute drive from Matera. Why do I call it ‘sister’?
Marmore Falls, or Cascata delle Marmore, are an absolute must-see in Umbria. One of the most famous waterfalls in Italy, it is located in Valnerina, just 2 km from Papigno and near Terni, in the Marmore Falls National Park. There we spent our last day in Umbria.

That’s why, along the way, we stopped for a few hours in the town of Rasiglia in Umbria. This small village, with just 60 houses and 40 inhabitants, is nicknamed Little Venice, which I
Water festival A Chiena is a party that transforms a rather sleepy small town in Campania into a vibrant and lively one. Campagna – that’s what we’re talking about here, or rather its old town, reminds me a lot of the Sanita district in Naples: peeling paint from the pretty buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, shops, restaurants, and bars where locals,
Lazio is an incredibly popular region of Italy. The capital is, of course, the main attraction, attracting millions of tourists from around the world, but it’s not worth focusing solely on this city. What to see near Rome? There’s quite a bit to see: stunning landscapes, sea, food, history, culture – everything the average tourist can expect on holidays. Lazio
