Returning to Italy?
Been to Italy before? Expand your family’s Italian horizons by creating an itinerary filled with less often traveled, but just as exquisite, destinations. Italy boasts many impressive sights outside of the usual tourist destinations. Apulia, also known as Le Puglie, is referred to as “the heel of Italy’s boot” thanks to its location on Italy’s “heel” of a peninsula. This enchanting area offers spectacular beaches and crystal clear waters, perfect for ocean lovers. For an adventure in sports, leisure, architecture and entertainment, Emilia Romagna offers a splendid array of mountain and coastal experiences, including jaw dropping castles straight out of the history books. In addition, Emilia Romagna is also famous for its cuisine, which is as bold as it is refined. Italy is the kind of place you have to see more than once!
