 Italy is one of the most
popular travel destinations on
Planet Earth. Some
say the Italians invented
tourism in the 16th century,
and it is safe to say
that no country has given the
world more cultural icons,
including fine automobiles,
architecture, fashions,
operas, paintings, sculptures,
tenors, and we certainly
can't forget food.
Italy has so much to see and
do, from skiing in the Alps,
the Lake District of the north,
the historic and stylish cities of
Florence,
Milan, Naples, Siena,
Turin and Venice, coastal
cities and quaint little villages,
and of course
Rome, and the Holy See
(Vatican).
The world famous boot-shape
peninsula of Italy,
extending into the central
Mediterranean Sea is a
rugged, mountainous country
of simply stunning scenery
that also includes the popular
island destinations of
(Sardinia) and (Elba)
to the west, and (Capri),
(Ischia) and (Sicily) off the
southern coast.
Italy
is renowned for it's olive oil,
pastas, people, wine, and of
course sunshine,
and year-round great
weather. Simply stated, Italy
is "la dolce
vita" (the sweet life),
and many people that travel
to this incredible
country never want to leave.
