Sea hotels, itineraries and travel ideas.
Italy's superb mild climate makes a seaside holiday a viable option from late April right through to early October.
The appeal of the Italian coast is increased by the cleanliness and safety of its beaches more than 200 or which have been awarded the European Blue Flag. The coastline is also home to enchanting fishing villages, fashionable seaside resorts and some of Italy's most vibrant seaside cities. Just a short boat ride away from the mainland lie the exquisitely beautiful Italian small islands - all of which are more than worthy of their centuries old world wide fame.
