When traveling to a country like Italy, you are likely interested in more than just the inside of a hotel room. While Italian accommodations can be as sumptuous as you might like, going on a vacation to this incredible region of the world usually carries interest in architecture, the Arts, history and local culture. Of course, for Italy and many of its visitors, the cuisine reigns supreme. Below are some of the best vacation spots in Italy worth considering for your ultimate trip. All of these provide the history, culture and flavors you will enjoy, as well as uniquely special attributes for which each is adored. AgrigentoKnown as one of the greatest legacies of ancient Greece, Agrigento is a village on Sicily’s southern coast. In Agrigento, you are able to stand beneath towering columns of Greek architecture of remaining Doric temples dating back to the sixth century BC. Once the Greek city of Akragas, the Valley of the Temples near Agrigento provides many sightseeing wonders similar to those of Pompeii, Rome and even Athens, all within one location less traveled than those more popular tourist destinations. Between the town of Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples sites, Museo Archeologico provides a wide array of exhibits of local finds, including immense statues and items from ancient graves. CapriIf you want to vacation like the ancient Romans, head over to Capri, an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Italy. It’s been a resort since the days of the Roman Republic. Capri is a popular day trip destination from Naples and Sorrento. Once there, you’ll see the ruins of royal Roman villas. A must-see attraction is the Grotto Azzurra (Blue Grotto) where sunlight shining through an opening in a sea cave illuminates the cave’s interior. Another popular site is the rock formation I Faraglioni that is best viewed from a boat. Palazzo RiccucciNestled atop a quiet hill in Marche, Italy, Palazzo Riccucci is a castle that, after years of meticulous restoration, has been converted into a stunning hotel considered a luxury beach resort in Italy. With its incredible, exposed brick walls, wooden floors and hand-painted paneling, there’s no place quite like ours. Savour rich, local flavours while dining in our acclaimed restaurant. Soak in the breathtaking panoramic views from our terrace while watching the sun fade behind the spectacular Sibillini mountains. Either way, trust that your stay will be nothing less than memorable at one of the best seaside resorts in Italy.
