Dolce vita, ancient ruins & coastal glamour

About Italy

Italy needs no introduction as a holiday destination — the world's most beautiful country offers the Amalfi Coast's dramatic clifftop villages, Sicily's ancient ruins and street food, Sardinia's Caribbean-rivalling beaches and a cultural and culinary depth that is unmatched anywhere on Earth.

Where to go in Italy

Amalfi Coast

2h 45m to Naples from UK

The Amalfi Coast is one of the world's most spectacular drives — a UNESCO World Heritage stretch of road clinging to limestone cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea, passing through the pastel-coloured villages of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. It's romantic, dramatic and unforgettable.

Sicily

2h 45m from UK

Sicily is Italy's most diverse and culturally rich island — a crossroads of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman and Spanish civilisations that has left extraordinary temples, cathedrals and food traditions. Mount Etna is Europe's most active volcano and the beaches are superb.

Sardinia

2h 45m from UK

Sardinia has some of Europe's most spectacular beaches — the Costa Smeralda's waters rival the Caribbean for clarity and colour, and the island's interior is wild, mountainous and home to ancient nuraghe stone towers. It's increasingly popular as a luxury destination.
