With long hot Mediterranean nights, beautifully bronzed skin and the soothing clap of the waves on the sun kissed sand of the beach, on our mind; here is 5 idyllic towns in Italy to visit when restrictions have been eased.
5 – Parma

There is so much this town has to offer, with food and wine trips regularly available to gain a true sense of the wonderful food that has been produced from this country. As well as this, historic buildings such as the ‘Cattedrale Di Parma’. This breathtaking cathedral was designed in the 11th and 12th century by prominent painter, Antonio Di Correggio.

3 – Capri
This entry is a slight cheat as Capri is technically and island but to not include this heavenly town situated off the coast of Naples would be a travesty. With its sky blue waters and colourful houses directly next to the beach; there is not much more a town could give. Beautiful restaurants scattered around the town offer some of the best sea food dishes in the whole of the medditeranean. Despite all this, the worlds most famous fashion designer shops can be found on the island of Capri too in case an emergency shopping trip is necessary.

If that was not enough to tempt you; Rome is known for some of the best food in the country with their world famous “Trattoria’s” scattered around the city offering some of the best Pizza, Pasta and much more.
1 – Positano
The only town that could rival the capital is the heavenly Positano.
