Prices for holidays in Venice. March 2019.

tour cost

Advice for those who want to save a little money. The boat ride from the arrival point to our hotel costs 120 euros. If we had gone by public transport it would have cost us 30 euros.

On the main square of Venice, St. Mark's Square, there is simply a sea of tourists. Everyone takes pictures. I think we will also join them now. The weather in Venice is very strange. It was freezing cold tonight. Now we're outside, the heat is 30 degrees, so take this into account when traveling.

Food and products

I bought a drink like limoncella from the store to try. It tastes similar to liqueur, but is 28% alcohol. Costs 9 euros. Because of the taste of lemon, you can’t tell it’s 28%. If you want to have an inexpensive snack in local street cafes, it will cost you 20 euros, an inexpensive lunch for one, but very filling and tasty. A dinner for two with wine or other alcoholic drinks is around 80 euros. Since the signature dish of Italy is pizza, you can buy pizza here from 2 to 7 euros. The most budget-friendly options for purchasing provisions are, of course, supermarkets and markets, where you can buy food for 12-20 euros.

ADRIATICA or VENICE RIVIERA,
SICILY or SARDINIA,
TUSCANY or LIGURIA,
COAST OF ODYSSEY or ISLAND OF ISCHIA

The minimum prices for the tour are indicated. summer season per person in a double room for 8 days and includes air travel, accommodation, selected type of food, transfer, medical. insurance.

Italy is very sophisticated, refined and hospitable country. The small peninsula has managed to be located very advantageously: Italy is washed by the warm and gentle waters of five seas. Therefore, when planning a beach holiday in Italy, you won’t immediately decide which sea to give preference to.

Beloved by many tourists, the “boot” hospitably invites you to visit the shores of one or several seas of Italy. Moreover, each sea is unique in its own way. The Ligurian coast welcomes quite wealthy tourists on its shores. The resorts here are small, cozy, the sea is clean and transparent. It is worth noting that there are not many sandy beaches here, but mostly rocky shores.

Adriatic Italy is the most common tourist destination. Rimini, Riccione and Lido di Jesolo - these are the resorts that are the most beloved by those who choose tours to the sea in Italy. The Adriatic coast has long and gently sloping beaches, a warm sea, fine sand, and a huge number of small crabs that scurry between carefully treading tourists. It is the Italian Adriatic that is the most famous tourist center; it has everything an experienced tourist needs: sandy beaches of Italy, comfortable and inexpensive resorts, a large shopping street stretching along the entire coast, restaurants and cafes, and, no less important, inexpensive shopping.

The Tyrrhenian Sea occupies most country, this place is almost ideal for a family holiday in Italy in the summer. Quiet and leisurely waters of the sea without winds, without strong ebbs and flows, and the same calm life.

Those who choose tours to Italy in the summer limit themselves greatly, forgetting that in some places the swimming season begins in May and ends in September. For example, the Ionian coast, whose beaches are awarded blue flag, that is, recognized as the cleanest in the world. Unfortunately, the Ionian Sea is little known Russian tourist, although the resorts here are no less comfortable, they are much cheaper. Swimming season lasts from spring to mid-autumn, and the quality of the beaches is indicated by the blue flag.

Also, tours to Italy with seaside holidays vary in price, type of holiday and excursions offered on the coasts. Inexpensive regions are the Adriatic and Sicily, the middle class is the Tyrrhenian Sea, premium resorts are located in Sardinia, Liguria and Tuscany. Prices for beach tours to Italy depend on the season, the chosen coast and the hotel. Best months for a trip to Italy for the purpose of beach holiday- this is June, July and velvet September. August is known as the most popular tourist month in Italy, so at this time there is a large number of holidaymakers on the beaches and high prices. Our managers will be happy to advise where it is better to relax on the Italian sea with children, families or a group of friends!

Just look at the map to understand: there are more than enough beach resorts in Italy. Wherever you find yourself, no matter what region of Italy you come to, the sea is always nearby. Even from the alpine slopes you can reach the coast in just 3–4 hours.

It should also be noted that the seaside resorts of Italy are extremely diverse. In Italy there are wide sandy beaches, and secluded bays with pebbly shores, and beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea, and places where the depth begins at the very shore. In short, the choice is extensive - there is a lot to talk about. This is, in fact, what we will do.

However, before we proceed directly, we will make a few reservations (to make it easier for you to navigate, since the text is voluminous).

The review of Italian beach resorts presented in this article is structured as follows. The focus is on popular Italian cities (or rather, airports), where it is not difficult to reach from anywhere in the world, including from Russia (read more about air travel with Italy).

Focusing on these cities/airports, we consider nearby resorts that seem to us the most interesting both in terms of quality and in terms of transport accessibility. (Most of the beach resorts discussed below can be reached by rail - see www.trenitalia.com.) It is not our intention to list all available options, however. If you like any of the areas listed below, then you can (and even need to!) go deeper into the topic - you will find many interesting places that we have not mentioned here.

So, in this review you will find information about resorts located near the following cities:

The beach resorts of Calabria and Puglia will also be briefly reviewed. Outside the scope of this article are the large Italian islands - Sardinia and Sicily ( beaches of Sicily discussed in detail) – since they require special attention.

As you can see, the order of consideration is from north to south, that is, from top to bottom on the map. It seems logical :) However, this order is also determined by the fact that getting to the north of Italy is easier, faster and usually cheaper than getting to the south. However, northern resorts are usually more expensive than southern ones. (Although, as you know, there are no rules without exceptions.)

Finally, it is worth saying that everything stated below is aimed primarily at independent travelers. If you are interested in standard tours, we advise you to turn to sites such as and where you can find and buy these same tours online. However, it is quite possible that you will find something useful for yourself here too.

This is where we can conclude the introductory part. Let's move on to the review.

Where to go to the sea in Italy, and how to get to the best beaches

So, Italy, sea, relaxation, beaches. Go!

Generally speaking, Venice itself can be considered as a beach resort, since there is an island Lido di Venezia(Lido di Venezia), famous for its long sandy beach. You can get here by water directly from Venice airport (sail a little over an hour; see www.alilaguna.it). The undoubted advantage of the Lido is that all Venetian attractions are nearby - for example, St. Mark's Square can be reached in just 15 minutes. Thus, it is quite possible to combine a beach holiday with walks around Venice. Read more about this option in the article “Beaches of Venice”.

Another variant - Lido di Jesolo(Lido di Jesolo). This resort is located east of Venice and has an equally sandy and even longer beach. It is again not far from Venice airport - about 40 minutes by ATVO bus (see www.atvo.it).

Even further east you can find places like Eraclea Mare(Eraclea Mare), Caorle(Caorle) And Bibione(Bibione), which is also quite easy to get to by ATVO buses.

South of Venice is the pretty town of Chioggia with its adjacent resort Sottomarina(Sottomarina). The beaches here are also sandy, and the infrastructure is well developed, but getting there by public transport is not as convenient and fast as to the above-mentioned resorts. In this case (especially if you are going on vacation with small children), it makes sense to order a transfer (see) or rent a car, since this can be done directly at the airport (see www.rentalcars.com, www.economybookings.com and similar sites).

By the way, all these resorts can be reached not only through Venice Airport (Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo, VCE), but also through the nearby Treviso Airport (Aeroporto di Treviso Antonio Canova, TSF), as well as through Verona Airport (Aeroporto di Verona Valerio Catullo, VRN). However, it’s worth saying a few words separately about Verona.

Venice. General information + Beaches of Venice

Getting to the beach resorts of Italy via Verona is probably not the best idea (unless cheap tickets turn up - see www.skyscanner.ru, www.momondo.ru, www.aviasales.ru and other air ticket search engines). However, one cannot help but notice that from Verona it is a stone's throw to Lake Garda (Lago di Garda), where there are also beaches. It is clear that a beach holiday on the shore of an alpine lake is not at all the same as a holiday at sea. However, this opportunity should not be overlooked. Moreover, Garda is interesting not only as a beach resort, but also as a thermal resort. From this point of view, it is worth taking a closer look in particular at Sirmione(Sirmione).

However, let's return to the seaside resorts and pay attention to the next point. Verona may be interesting as a transit point on the way to the beach resorts of the Adriatic if you plan to travel to Italy by train (read more about the train service between Russia and Italy).

Again, like Verona, Milan boasts its proximity to lakes. In addition to Garda, it is worth mentioning at least two more lakes - Como(Lago di Como) And Maggiore(Lago Maggiore), – where you can also find beaches.

Genoa, as already mentioned, is located on the shores of the Ligurian Sea, and the most convenient way to get to the beach resorts of Liguria is not through Milan, but through Genoa. In addition, from Russia to Genoa you can not only fly non-stop, but also take a direct train. There are a huge number of options: Liguria has both sandy and pebble beaches.

To the west of Genoa, for example, there are Sanremo(San Remo), Diano Marina(Diano Marina), Alassio(Alassio), Pietra Ligure(Pietra Ligure) And Finale Ligure(Finale Ligure). The beaches in the western part of Liguria are quite wide, long, often sandy, although pebbles are not uncommon. All these places are not so far from Genoa, but if you wish, you can find beaches closer: for example, in Arenzano(Arenzano)– here the beach is pebbly – or in Kogoleto(Cogoleto)– the beaches are partly sandy, partly pebble.

There are also many interesting places east of Genoa. For the most part, the beaches of eastern Liguria are pebbly and do not differ in length (probably with the exception of the beach in Lavagna, Lavagna). But the water here is clean and the places are picturesque. Attention should be paid, for example, to Sorry(Sori) And Camogli(Camogli)– both places are located near Genoa. A little further is located Santa Margherita Ligure(Santa Margherita Ligure). Even further - Sestri Levante(Sestri Levante); By the way, there is a beautiful sandy beach here. The further you go, the rockier the terrain becomes, but there are also places for swimming. There are beaches even in the Cinque Terre. The most interesting ones are in Monterosso al Mare(Monterosso al Mare): there are both sandy and pebble (more details).

All listed resorts in Liguria are accessible via railway transport. Genoa Airport (Aeroporto di Genova Cristoforo Colombo, GOA), in turn, has convenient connections with the Sestri Ponente train station (Genova Sestri Ponente Aeroporto).

A detailed overview of the beach resorts of the Ligurian coast is presented in this article.

Let's return to the shore of the Adriatic Sea, where, in addition to the resorts discussed, there is a well-known Rimini(Rimini). Wide sandy beaches, calm seas and an excellently developed tourist infrastructure - all this attracts a huge number of beach lovers to Rimini and its surroundings. There is a place here for families with children, and for noisy young people, and for older tourists (read more about hotels and areas of Rimini). In addition, this is a favorite destination of Russian tour operators. Therefore, before you think about independent trip in Rimini, it is worth carefully studying the offers of travel agencies (you can look at the same and). There is a high probability that buying a tour to Rimini will be cheaper than organizing a vacation yourself.

Conveniently, Rimini has its own international Airport(Aeroporto di Rimini Federico Fellini, RMI), from where, if desired, you can even walk to some hotels (see, for example, Hotel Ascot). In addition, it is convenient to get to Rimini through Bologna Airport (Aeroporto di Bologna Guglielmo Marconi, BLQ).

At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to limit yourself to Rimini and its immediate surroundings. If you like the Adriatic, but you are not attracted to either Rimini or Riccione(Riccione), neither Cattolica(Cattolica), neither Milano Marittima(Milano Marittima), then it’s worth taking a closer look at those located further south Pesaro(Pesaro), Fano(Fano) And Senigallia(Senigallia). Here there are the same wide sandy beaches and a smooth entrance to the sea. These resorts are also conveniently accessible via Rimini Airport. It is also worth keeping in mind Ancona Airport (Aeroporto delle Marche, AOI).

North of Rimini you can pay attention to such places as Lido Adriano(Lido Adriano) And Punta Marina(Punta Marina), which is not far from Ravenna.

Pisa is perfect as a transit point on the way to the spacious sandy beaches of the so-called Tuscan Riviera (aka Versilia). In particular, from Pisa Airport (Aeroporto di Pisa Galileo Galilei, PSA), in just over an hour you can take a bus (for more details, see www.pisa-airport.com) to such popular sea resorts How Viareggio(Viareggio) And Lido di Camaiore(Lido di Camaiore). Nearby also Forte dei Marmi(Forte dei Marmi), Marina di Massa(Marina di Massa) And Marina di Carrara(Marina di Carrara).

Eastern Liguria with its cozy beaches, picturesque bays and other natural beauties, by and large, are also nearby, and if you are interested in this particular region, then Pisa should be kept in mind as an alternative to the considered Genoa.

Also, look south from Pisa. Interesting places a lot: for example, Marina di Cecina(Marina di Cecina), San Vincenzo(San Vincenzo) And Follonica(Follonica). It's pretty quiet resorts, perfect for a family holiday with children.

Separately, it is worth mentioning about the island Elbe(Elba), where you can find beaches for every taste: sandy, pebble, and rocky. Elba, by the way, has its own small airport (Aeroporto dell "Elba). You can fly here from Pisa (see www.silverairitalia.it) and some other cities. A more traditional way to get to Elba is by ferry from Piombino, You can get to Piombino by train.

For more information about beach resorts in Tuscany, check out this article. By the way, all of the above places can also be reached through Florence (Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola, FLR). However, Pisa is closer and flying to Pisa (at least from Russia) is more convenient and cheaper than flying to Florence.

The outskirts of Rome are also not deprived of beach resorts (the beaches here are often sandy). For example, literally a few minutes drive from Rome Fiumicino Airport (Aeroporto di Roma–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci, FCO) there is a resort town Lido di Ostia(Lido di Ostia). From a logistics point of view, you can’t think of anything better (you can get here from the airport by Cotral bus), but from a quality point of view, there are much more interesting options.

If you focus on the immediate surroundings of the Italian capital, then you should pay attention to Anzio(Anzio) And Nettuno(Nettuno). It is convenient to get to these resorts from Rome by rail - the ride takes about an hour.

But perhaps the most interesting beach resorts are located further south. This is, first of all, San Felice Circeo(San Felice Circeo), Terracina(Terracina), Sperlonga(Sperlonga) And Gaeta(Gaeta). True, getting to these places by public transport is not as convenient as getting to Anzio and Nettuno. Therefore, in addition, let us also mention Formia(Formia): There are beaches here and you can get there from Rome by direct train. Moreover, from railway station Formia can easily be reached by taxi or by bus to the same Gaeta - the ride is about 15 minutes.

Concerning Sorrento(Sorrento), then directly in the city there are almost no beaches as such. One of the few lucky exceptions is the La Tonnarella hotel with access to a small private beach (small pebbles). However, it is convenient to get to Sorrento from Naples (for example, by train on the Circumvesuviana railway - see www.eavsrl.it). From the point of view of a beach holiday in Sorrento, it makes sense to focus on places such as Meta(Meta) And Marina di Puolo(Marina di Puolo).

On the Amalfi Coast, the situation with beaches is better - you can swim and sunbathe like in the ones mentioned Amalfi(Amalfi) And Positano(Positano), and in other towns - Praiano(Praiano), Majori(Maiori), Minori(Minori) etc. The beaches here are pebbly, small and very picturesque. From Naples to Amalfitana you can travel by bus (see www.sitasudtrasporti.it) directly or with a transfer to Salerno (first by rail, and then again by bus).

South of Salerno you can pay attention to Paestum(Paestum), Agropolis(Agropoli) And Marina di Asceia(Marina di Ascea). The beaches here are sandy, prices are reasonable, but the resort infrastructure is often (in Asheya, for example) not very well developed. But it’s convenient to get to from Naples – an hour and a half ride by rail. Not so convenient to get to places like Santa Maria di Castellabate(Santa Maria di Castellabate) And Cape Palinuro(Capo Palinuro). However, they also deserve mention, and if you travel by car, take a special look at them.

One of the most interesting places in the vicinity of Naples from the point of view of a beach holiday is the island Ischia(Ischia). There are many beaches in Ischia, and in addition to them there are thermal springs. You can get there by ferry.

It is worth bearing in mind in particular airport Lamezia Terme(Aeroporto di Lamezia Terme, SUF). To the north of it there is, for example, Amantea(Amantea), and to the south - Tropea(Tropea) with their wonderful sandy beaches. This is Calabria - the region is far from the richest, but the sea and beaches here are excellent. It is worth noting that many resorts in Calabria, including Amantea and Tropea, can be easily reached by rail from Naples or even from Rome (although the journey, of course, is not close and quite long). Another airport in Calabria is located in Reggio Calabria(Reggio Calabria, Aeroporto dello Stretto, REG). Nearby we note such a resort as Shilla(Scilla).

Don't overlook Puglia either. You can focus on the region here Salento(Salento)– “the heel of Italy” – in general, and places like Galipoli(Galipoli), Otranto(Otranto) and their immediate surroundings in particular. The region is also of interest Gargano(Gargano)- “spur of the Italian boot.” And even in Bari(Bari) And Brindisi(Brindisi), where the main local airports are located (Aeroporto di Bari-Palese, BRI, and Aeroporto di Brindisi-Casale, BDS), you can find places for a beach holiday.

Beach resorts in Italy- this is an alluring surf, a magnificent landscape and an amazing, juicy joy of life. Where is the best place to relax is an open question for everyone who is planning to spend vacation in Italy, preferably by the sea. Small, very different towns are interesting for their originality, established traditions, and customs. Especially for tourists traveling to Italy for the first time, we will take a closer look at how the infrastructure of the main resorts in Italy is structured, what and where will be offered to different groups of travelers and vacationers.

Before you go on vacation to Italy, don’t forget to go to the website https://italymix.ru/, where you will learn not only how to save the lion’s share of your vacation budget, but also learn about the most interesting routes, attractions, verified and inexpensive hotels, and you will also find many important tips for holidays in Italy, which you will thank again and again. Overall, check out this site, you won’t regret it.

Most holidays take place in the summer months of July - August, but Italy is not only good for summer. For excursion trips, for example, a group of students, we can safely recommend traveling in June, or even in October. Where exactly is the best place to relax? in Italy by sea Yes, it certainly depends on the time of year and the purpose of the trip.

In spring it is interesting to visit the Tuscany region; many colorful festivals are held here. Street food festival in Castiglioncello, with homemade beer tastings and master classes by famous chefs. A colorful camellia festival in the town of Cappanori (province of Lucca), when tourists can see unique varieties of Japanese flowers while visiting private villas of collectors.

The Easter antique markets (the cities of Vinci, Greve in Chianti, Lucca) are very interesting. Even if you are not a fan of antiques, you will not be left indifferent by the local merchants, colorful stalls, and brisk trade bubbling on the medieval fortress walls of the resort towns of Tuscany. Then follows the Strawberry Festival - the city of Terriciola (province of Pisa), and a lot of things. Many people plan to spend a vacation on the Tuscan coast in the spring not so much out of savings, but because of the desire to take part in unusual celebrations.

In July and August, the Italian high season reigns everywhere, and prices rise accordingly. It's time to visit the Adriatic Riviera - the most popular resort of Rimini. Wide (up to 200 m) sandy beach, about 9 km long, fine sand, uniform entrance to the sea.

Autumn is a generous time: wine tastings and new wine festivals invariably attract travelers from different countries. Visiting Italy in September means enjoying the gifts of a rich land and spending a truly unforgettable vacation. Tourists enjoy going to the Florence Culinary Festival - it’s rare to taste so many unusual delicacies anywhere.

At this time, you can successfully combine a beach holiday with pleasant outdoor gastronomic excursions to nearby farms or vineyards.

Older people prefer to relax in excellent resort areas with long traditions. For example, the San Remo resort complex is one of the most famous resorts and deservedly enjoys worldwide fame. Many cozy hotels on the Ligurian coast have good beach infrastructure and the highest level of service. Holidays in San Remo belong to the elite category. Relatively cheaper than San Remo, a holiday in the resort of Rimini. An impressive coastline with beautiful sandbanks - the beach is literally endless. At the same time, Rimini has a very wide strip of sand. Hotels are located along the coast, each hotel has its own beach.

Booking hotels and inns online

Prices (according to Italian standards) are affordable. There are no restaurants with loud music between the hotels and the sea; they are all located a little deeper. There are open municipal beaches. The free beaches of Rimini are not very clean; sometimes there are traders, although they are driven away from time to time by the police.

Not only hotel beaches, but also free municipal beaches are very well equipped. There are children's playgrounds and animation. Sufficient sun loungers and umbrellas; Between the rows there are comfortable wooden floorings - paths leading to the sea. Showers are equipped to wash off the salt after bathing.

On the Ionian coast, many defensive castles, religious and cultural monuments. For many vacationers, perfect holiday at the resort necessarily includes acquaintance with the cultural traditions and historical monuments of an unfamiliar country. Adriatic resorts are an excellent opportunity not only to go to the sea coast, to get to know Italy better, but also to taste it.

Time spent on the southern coast of Italy can be a magical memory for a young couple, or maybe even a honeymoon.

For young people

The administrative region of Emilia Romagna is a small, colorful town with developed tourist services and a huge selection of entertainment. By the way, Rimini also belongs to this region of Italy. For young lovers of active nightlife- it’s just freedom here. This is exactly how everyone lives here! A surge of energy in modern clubs and bars, excellent opportunities for fans of beach sports. In short, a holiday in the Emilia Romagna region will give young people a whole variety of entertainment. Choose the best places for youth holidays at sea; in Italy there is certainly plenty to choose from.

An interesting option for young people is the Ligurian coast. For example, Moneglia is excellent beach complex, which has a developed tourist infrastructure, plus a blue flag for cleanliness. Another highlight of the Ligurian Riviera is the possibility of interesting diving.

Experienced tourists often choose Monella as their base recreation area, allowing them to connect with interesting excursion holiday. Nearby is the magnificent Portofino, then Genoa. On the other hand, there are unique fishing towns among the rocks, the pearl of the Italian Riviera - Chinveterra. A picturesque mountain trekking path carved out over the sea at the beginning of the 20th century. Bright houses crowded right on the rocks, excellent views and seascapes for photos. You can travel between towns on the Ligurian Sea coast by train, moving through numerous tunnels. Each town has its own differences and is extremely interesting for walking.

Now about places where you can have a good rest in Italy at sea with children.

Alba Adriatica (Abruzzo region on the Adriatic coast) is one of the famous resort regions, with an excellent climate and excellent ecology. The local beaches - endless, with a gentle entrance for swimming - have received the Blue Flag more than 12 times. Great option for organization children's recreation, healing in the Mediterranean climate. The undoubted advantage of this Italian resort is the flat terrain, the absence of sharp climbs, slides and stairs, often found in other regions. This point may also be a priority when choosing an option for older people who want to enjoy a relaxing holiday.

We note the comfortable transport accessibility of Alba Adriatica (Roman airport), a beautiful pine park along the beach area, where you can spend a hot daytime. It's cool here, carousels for children alternate with small cafes. For safety reasons, pets are not allowed. Pineta Park itself is framed by a pedestrian and bicycle path, and the children's playground is in the shade.

Another significant seaside resort that we recommend for lovers of relaxing leisure or a beach holiday with children is Lido di Jesolo. Surrounded by the Alps, the resort is well protected from storms. Or Lignano. Here they offer tourists a measured family holiday, you can enjoy beach season fully. From here, if you wish, you can go on an excursion to Venice, it is very close.

The rocky coast of Sicily with magical azure bays attracts tourists who prefer leisure. Diving, swimming with fins and a mask (snorkeling) are very popular. Note that between the coast Mediterranean Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, there is a certain difference. The Tyrrhenian coast is rocky.

There are many popular resorts on the island of Sicily: Cala Rossa in Favignana, the resorts of Messina, with more than 200 km of beaches. The best resorts of Messina are the Aeolian Islands, the beaches of Taormina. Wonderful beaches province of Agrigento.

The magical coastline of Skala dei Turchi is famous for its azure bays and its convenient proximity to important Sicilian attractions - the Valley of the Temples (Agrigento). The snow-white cliffs polished by the waves go into the sea in unusual steps. The most beautiful bays among the rocks look especially impressive at sunset. A magnificent setting for a photo shoot to commemorate the south of Sicily. For those who would like to relax by the sea among local residents, away from noisy tourist resorts, southern and southwestern Sicily can become such a corner.

Using the example of Sicily, we can comment in detail on the nuances of organizing a holiday on a remote, uncrowded coast, in comparison with a large tourist resort:

For an experienced, independent tourist, a secluded vacation is quite suitable, under certain conditions: basic knowledge of languages, car rental, financial self-sufficiency;
For a less experienced traveler relying on public transport, traveling with children, or having a limited budget - the language barrier, distance from the airport and lack of communication experience - can spoil the entire impression of the magnificent coastline;
for beginners interested in group excursions, developed tourist infrastructure, timely Russian-speaking assistance - there is no need to go to remote fishing villages on your own (it is much better to see them on an away excursion).

Let’s immediately say that the savings due to the low cost of private apartments and meals are often offset by the costs of transport, plus transfer to the airport.

On the island of Sardinia, which is part of Italy as an autonomous region, travelers will be greeted by unique nature, great service. There is a different flavor here, it has its own characteristics, dictated by geographical location(the island is located between Sicily and Corsica), rich in cultural heritage.

According to legends, it was on this blessed island that the Creator first set foot. Apparently this is why there are so many beautiful landscapes, many nature reserves and parks. As elsewhere in Italy, a comfortable holiday on the island of Sardinia can be successfully combined with educational excursion leisure. Ancient ruins of Nuraghi, Christian shrines, several interesting museums. The abundance of sandy beaches is quite typical of the Tyrrhenian coast. Plus - the beautiful color of sea water, silky to the touch, keeping swimmers afloat, almost like the water of the Dead Sea.

The northern coast of Sardinia - Costa Smaralda, is an elite resort, with all the ensuing consequences. It is expensive here, very beautiful and incredibly comfortable. The abundance of cafes and fashionable shops around is ideal clean beaches, a real luxury vacation for wealthy tourists.

When you are on vacation in the Calabria region, you should pay special attention and time to visiting iconic historical places. The architecture of the resort town of Alghero shows Catalan influence - this is no longer quite Italy. More precisely, a vibrant mix of Italian and Catalan cultures. This also applies to the cuisine - it’s hard to tear yourself away from local delicacies. The coast is usually called the Coral Riviera, because precious red corals grow in the local waters. Many holidaymakers enjoy the privacy of the Spiked Bay (Cala Spinosa) in Santa Teresa Gallura, and the Gulf of Orosei (San Teodoro), southern Sardinia, is highly praised online.

For an inexpensive holiday

Those who want to save money should go to the Adriatic coast of Italy, here you can relax cheaper than on west coast. Budget options, where in Italy you can really have an inexpensive holiday by the sea - this is the already mentioned resort of Rimini, Riccione, Lignano.

A serene holiday on the beach - the shallow (near the shore), warm sea of the Lido di Esolo resort is a good option for a budget holiday for families with children. Another opportunity to relax cheaply is off the coast of Calabria, on the island of Sardinia.

Hotels in Palermo, Turin, Naples, and Genoa are considered relatively cheap. It is worth searching on the Internet for an inexpensive private mini-hotel, apartments on the second or third line. Consider as an accommodation option private sector. A good option for young people is Italian hostels or campsites. As a rule, they also have their own beach, the use of which is already included in the price.

When going to Italy for the first time, you should ask about the cost of accommodation in campsites or hostels. Start searching for cheap apartments on the Internet. Use online booking housing, this brings very significant discounts (and sometimes more than significant).

Some basic tips for beginners:

provides maximum savings on vacation early booking air tickets;
Keep a close eye on your wallets and handbags, do not show off your expensive video camera on excursions in Naples (unfortunately, theft is a scourge tourism business in southern Italy);
season relative low prices(low season) begins in April and lasts until the end of May, plus the second half of October;
Read as much as you can about the area where you will be going on holiday.

It is advisable to decide where to go to Italy for a good holiday at the seaside as early as possible. You can select an individual excursion program in advance, choose a hotel to suit your taste, having become acquainted with specialized travel websites with descriptions of attractions and reviews from visitors.

Thanks to the mild climate, abundance best resorts with clean sand dunes Italy is capable of charming travelers with very different personalities and tastes at first sight. After all, it itself is very different - mountainous, island, northern. In addition, the tourism infrastructure is not only well developed, but also adapted for a comfortable stay for a wide variety of age groups of tourists. Where is better - a purely individual question, A seaside holiday in Italy can be very different. At the same time, an Italian vacation has every chance of becoming unforgettable vacation for the whole family, students, newlyweds or older holidaymakers.
