This is my #1 recommendation when helping plan Italy trips for friends. True, there are some beautiful sights to behold if you climb the ghastly hills with the hordes of tourists-mostly honeymooners which bum out married and single people alike. But I promise there are so many other Insta-worthy spots where you won’t have to risk major motion sickness getting there only to spend €40 for the worst “lemon” risotto (also don’t eat risotto south of Florence).
Go to the volcanic islands of Ischia and Procida (picture below of Procida- where the houses are actually colorful!) Go to the Ionian and Adriatic beaches in Puglia! Go to the caves of Matera! There are national parks that look like Colorado but you can eat the best and cheapest pizza while you’re there! The most wonderful people and places can be found in this country but NOT in Positano with the couple from Nassau County guzzling cappuccinos.

I can’t express enough how beautiful this country was and how much I highly recommend doing the thing you’ve always wanted to. I stayed for just over a month, because if staying in an apartment there for a month was less than a big city in the United States, why not? I went everywhere from La Spezia, Cinque Terre (Corniglia pictured), Florence, Rome, Pisa, Lucca, Milan, etc. Take the trip, life is too short!!

A former church in Amsterdam, converted into a music venue. atmosphere is great and the indoor balconies provide an intimate feeling

It’s a story of the dark recess of the mind. Bizarr (but in a good way).
