Guide for an Italian Summer Adventure

Have you ever lived through an Italian summer? If yes, who is ready to go back?! If no, what are you waiting for?! I spent the entire summer in Italy last year and do not regret a second of it. Endless beauty everywhere you look - from the mountains in the north to the crystal clear water in the south. A summer in Italy will not disappoint 🏖️. Here are a few things I wish I knew beforehand, 📌SAVE this for your Italian summer adventure! ⛱️ Most beaches have rocks rather than sand, so investing in a good pair of water shoes / sandals will come in handy 🏞️ Don’t skip out on the north - there are turquoise blue lakes in the north of Italy such as Lago di Garda and the Dolomites are so lovely in the summertime 💰 It gets crowded and expensive, especially in the popular places, so go out and explore early in the morning, talk to your local @airbnb hosts and ask for recommendations from them (especially for where to eat - since I know how important food is to this community myself included 😅) 🍷 If you love wine, definitely go on a wine tour in Chianti, I highly recommend @lemiccine 🌿 My favorite *free* hot springs are Bagni San Filippo, go first thing in the morning before it gets crowded! 🏡 Splurging for a night or two at an agriturismo is not a bad idea! The views are breathtaking and I saw a sky full of shooting stars 🥹 @agriturismo.sole ☀️ 🚗 Rent a car and explore so that you can get away from the popular spots and find hidden gems What would you add to this list?
