Monte Argentario

Monte Argentario represents a beachfront shelter that for a long period of time has been a popular destination during summer days for Romans and Tuscans.

It is a great rock formation that goes off the coast of southern Tuscany. The region of Monte Argentario features the following places for tourists: Porto Ercole, Orbetello, Porto Santo Stefano and Ansedonia, located across the harbor on the mainland.

Positano

This is one of the country's most visited places. Each year millions of tourists drive down the Almafi coast to take the tour through the region.

It is interesting to note that Positano represents an old Italian coastal village, the foundation roots of which go back to the 10^th century AD.

This region served as a seaport for the locals, who used it for trade with the Middle East. Positano has also been the place were various artists visited to gain inspiration for their works.

Lake Garda

This is Italy's largest lake. In the south it waters Lombardy and the Veneto's fertile plains and turns temperamental up north. There the lake expands to the Alps.

The shores of the lake are indeed quite amazing having lush greenery along with exotic flowers. The region around Garda earlier served as the settlement of Romans. The popularity of the lake grew after hot springs that took place in Sirmione, which became a well-known holiday destination. Due to the fact that Garda is one of the cleanest among major lakes it attracts a lot of swimmers and windsurfers.

Dolomites

A well-known fact is that the Dolomite Mountains represent dramatic and overwhelming piece of nature that meets the eastern Alps. The biggest part of the Dolomites, which is locally known as the Dolomiti, was Austria's. However, after the First World War these were returned to Italy.

These mountains expand north along the Adige River valley, which is between Lombardy and Veneto. Although the territorial borders have changed, people remained where they were before the change. The majority of people are more like Austrians than Italians. In the region visitors will be offered Austrian food and they will also hear a German dialect rather than Italian. Such characteristics are true to such settlements as Bozen, Merano and Brixen.

The Dolomites, with their peaks and green meadows, represent a great place for skiers, rock climbers as well as for hikers. Tourists will be able to explore small tows and various castes within the region.

Mount Etna

This is the highest and the biggest active volcano in Europe. Etna is located in eastern Sicily and its highest point is found at 3292 about the sea level. Visitors are free to choose whether they wish to enter the active volcano from the north or south. It is worth mentioning that the northern side of the volcano is forested and it's cooler than the southern side. Despite this fact most of the tourists prefer to visit the southern side, which looks more like a desert due to the fact that Etna's lava for the past several years has been flowing towards the southern part.

In order to get to the volcano's northern side, tourists need to take the highway to Piano Provenzana, a small village that ends in a site filled with souvenir shops. During winter Piano Provenzana is a good place to ski, having five downhill slopes as well as several cross-country trails.
