1) What are the top ten beaches in southern Italy? PUNTA DELLLA SUINA

Our trip begins in Puglia, precisely in the coastal strip of Punta della Suina, in Gallipoli. This seaside resort is characterized by a clear blue sea and a large pine forest, with rich flora and fauna; it is a popular tourist area known as one of the most beautiful beaches in Salento. Punta della Suina enchants with its untouched wilderness. Through the pine forest, you can feel the colors and smell scents of this corner of paradise, with its blue sea and all the colors of the Mediterranean.

Arriving at Punta della Suina is exciting, because after the pine forest comes the wonder: the crystalline sea of emeralds and touches of turquoise that stand out in the two small coves of smooth sand. The sunset is one of the most surprising and exciting natural shows, such as the silence that accompanies the disappearance of the sun at sea. Often, the fun continues when the hottest nights at Punta Della Suina light up. HOW MANY DAYS DO I NEED TO VISIT ITALY?

We still stay in Puglia, specifically in Gargano, to admire another wonder that is the Bay of Zagare, located between Mattinata and Vieste, so named for the fragrant orange blossoms in an area of lemon blossoms.

The Bay of Zagare has become the tourism icon in Gargano. The beach is about a kilometer long and offers a stretch of fine white sand, mixed with gravel, bathed by the crystalline sea, with a color that fades from blue to turquoise!.

Another splendid and unique place that deserves to be visited at least once in life is Capri’s dream setting, where the colors themselves describe the spell that dominates the landscape, not to mention everything that surrounds this wonderful island. The greenery of the undergrowth, Mediterranean figs and its white limestone, accentuate the brightness and beauty of Capri. As Sartre wrote, “Capri is sacred; the goal is not to see it, but to warn a certain quality of emotion.”

Capri can be reached by boat and ferry and the main attractions to see include Marina Grande (where the beach is free and where there are private establishments), Villa Malaparte (Adalberto Libera’s architectural masterpiece) and Faraglioni (Rocas) , which are three rocky peaks that serve as the island’s landmark and have often been suggestive backgrounds for many films. This island was favored by the Romans who were spreading splendid houses and obscure nymphs, over time, considered a refined haven for artists in the 20th century; today is home to exclusive villas and hotels.
