Holidays in Italy are a great opportunity to soak in the unique atmosphere of a quiet, southern dolce vita for a short time. For many people who have been to this country more than once, the most famous places of the northern part of the country - Veneto - Venice or Verona, may be a bit "too touristy". No wonder - both cities attract huge crowds of tourists every year and, frankly speaking, it is not easy to relax in them and feel the "spirit of magical Italy". So if you are planning a trip to these areas, it is worth trying to deviate from the trail for a moment to discover a number of cities and towns that do not offer such spectacular views, but allow you to get to know the more idyllic and definitely less commercial face of Italy. This is an excellent proposition especially for families traveling with children who would like to escape the hustle and bustle of big cities for a while!

The magic of the provinces

Visiting Veneto from the provinces is surprisingly easy. If we have a car, we can see a lot during one weekend - the most interesting places are only an hour away from each other. It is worth starting with the charming Vincenza - a true pearl of architecture. Throughout history, this small city has accumulated a large number of wonderful monuments. It is enough to go in the morning to the main square - Piazza dei Signori , to be able to admire the Palladiana Basilica illuminated by the rays of the rising sun. Then you must take a walk to the mighty building of Teatro Olimpico. It is the oldest closed theater in the world, still staging plays by the most famous playwrights from all over Europe. Another point of vacation in Veneto is the small Treviso , located near the famous Venice. Although devoid of large churches or castles, it allows you to see the magnificent villas of the former aristocracy up close. Only 75 kilometers from Treviso is Belluno . It is a real "gateway to the Alps" - the town seems to be squeezed between the mighty peaks of the Dolomites . Right next to it is the Bellunen Dolomites National Park , which opens its routes to hikers in summer and skiers in winter. If we belong to people who like physical activity, this is a great place to get in shape. A dense network of routes of varying difficulty allows you to plan trips that will be possible for everyone! Finally, of course, we will visit Lake Garda - the largest lake in Italy, the shores of which are covered with lemon trees, and numerous small towns around evoke the charm of past centuries.

Campsites in Veneto

If holidays in Italy are an opportunity for us to rest close to nature and meet tourists from all over Europe, we should plan well where we will sleep. Overnight in Veneto , which will not meet our expectations, as it can turn a holiday into an unpleasant adventure. That is why it is worth taking advantage of campsites that allow you to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax surrounded by greenery, using all the amenities of the 21st century. Age. Campsites by the Garda are among the best in the country and are more and more often chosen by traveling families and active people. Camping Campieggio bella Italia is an excellent proposition for both. The campsite is located right on Lake Garda, just a step away from the wide, sandy beach. If we travel with children, we will certainly appreciate the fact that, if necessary, we can leave them in the excellent hands of caregivers, who run a kindergarten on site.

Visiting the south of Sicily
Sicily, known as the Island of the Sun, is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its south-west part is only 100 km from the coast of Africa. The landscape is more hilly and mountainous with steep shores. What to see in this part of Sicily? What dishes characteristic of this largest region of Italy are worth trying? We invite you to read!. Let's start with Ragusa, which is one of the main cities of the southern part of Sicily. The main attractions of visiting Ragusa should be the valuable baroque monuments of sacred art - the Cathedral of San Giovanni, the Duomo si dan Giorgio and the Church of San Giuseppe. Apart from them, take a stroll through the historic city center, full of narrow streets that are climatically inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Interestingly, the city was almost completely destroyed during an earthquake in the 17th century, and after rebuilding it was divided into two parts - Ragusa Superiore and Ragusa Ibla - the latter is particularly interesting due to the romantic atmosphere among quiet alleys with a Baroque history in the background. Another point of family holidays in Sicily - one of the most important cities of the ancient world. It is worth seeing the cathedral, behind the facade of which is the temple of Athena from the 5th century BC. Then you can check out the city of olives and almonds, or Noto. From the monuments you will see the cathedral with two twin towers and the Church of Santa Chiara. In turn, 50 km from Marsala you will find excavations in Selinunte - to this day most of them are hidden in the ground. The last, but equally important, stop should be Agrigento with its famous Valley of the Temples. There is also a large port nearby, from which the ships on the Pelagie Island - Lampedusa and Linosa depart.
