Love more authentic destinations? Enjoy exploring hidden gems and unspoiled natural wonders? Like getting a little bit off the beaten path and making your budget stretch just that bit further? Well, if you’ve been considering a vacation in Italy and this is the case, then there are some wonderful destinations that are unsung heroes.


Of course, it is not that these locations are utterly unknown. You may have friends or family who have visited them before, you may have heard of them but you are unlikely to have heard as much about them as some of the country’s more popular destinations. And while this all may be true, it does not mean that they have less to offer. Perhaps there won’t be quite the same concentration of famous sights to tick off a bucket list but there will be plenty of other amazing things to see, do, and experience. So, read on and find out why we recommend a holiday in Italy in these particular spots...

Yet, this is an area of Italy that gets comparatively few tourists and, unlike some parts of the country, is dying for more visitors! So, if you want to get ahead of the crowd, make your budget stretch further, and enjoy stunning beaches where finding a nice spot is not quite as much of a competitive sport during the summer months, then maybe Calabria is the place for you...
