Dolce vita without the crowds of tourists. These destinations are easily accessible from Poland
Italian cities are beautiful, but exploring them in crowds of tourists can be tiring. Here are the locations where you can enjoy the dolce vita in peace.
This summer, Italy was the favorite holiday destination for Poles. According to eSky data, every fifth Pole who made a reservation on this site in the summer spent their vacation on the Apennine Peninsula. Our compatriots most often vacationed in Rome, Rimini, Catania and Palermo in Sicily, as well as in Bologna, Venice and Bari.
These locations do not complain about the lack of visitors, and even face their excess, like Venice. However, there are still many less crowded towns and cities in Italy.
Italy Less Discovered: 5 Suggestions for Tourists
The author’s selection was suggested by a Travel+Leisure journalist who has lived in Italy for 15 years. She recommended traditional seaside towns that have not changed much in 50 years, as well as flourishing cities where residents meet for coffee or an aperitivo.
Pizzo, Calabria
This is a seaside town in Calabria. The name itself sounds very Italian. And in fact, you can hear more Italian than English here. On this stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast, tourists will find clear blue water and many pretty bays.
This fall, Poles can fly from Katowice to Reggio Calabria with Ryanair, which makes getting to know the city easier. You can get there by train.
Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia
The port city on the Adriatic offers beautiful views and a harmonious mix of several cultures – in addition to Italian, Austro-Hungarian and Slavic. One of the top attractions is the 19th-century Miramare Castle. The city is also famous for its good quality coffee. Prices for flights from Poland are not high. It is worth looking for promotions.
Ravenna, Emilia Romagna
The city is located near the Adriatic Sea and is just over an hour’s train ride from Bologna, a popular destination for Poles. It is perfect for a leisurely tour. Cafes, spacious squares and a large covered market allow you to observe everyday life in Italy.
In addition to these places, it is also worth visiting the archaeological park in Paestum (Campaign) and Bressanone in South Tyrol.
