Ideas for Your Vacation: Great Ways to Explore Southern Italy

An 11-day vacation to Rome, Sicily, Calabria, and Sorrento offers a journey through Italy's diverse southern regions, blending ancient history with breathtaking coastal beauty and rich culinary traditions. Begin in Rome, the "Eternal City," where you can spend your first few days exploring iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Vatican City, and indulging in classic Roman dishes like carbonara and cacio e pepe. Next, travel south to the rugged beauty of Sicily, where you can discover ancient Greek temples in Agrigento, witness the majestic Mount Etna, and savor unique street food like arancini in Palermo. From there, venture into the lesser-known but equally captivating region of Calabria to experience its stunning cliffside towns, such as Tropea, with its vibrant turquoise waters and local 'nduja sausage. Conclude your trip on the picturesque Sorrentine Peninsula, where you can use Sorrento as a base to explore the dramatic Amalfi Coast, take a boat trip to the enchanting Isle of Capri, and enjoy a final taste of regional specialties like fresh mozzarella and limoncello before flying home.
