Summer is winding down and if the calendar wasn’t enough to remind me, the crisp morning air while walking my puppy is a certain reminder that fall is around the corner. Perhaps you’re like me and this summer was a strange one for you too. I adore my summers in Italy, especially the visits to the beach, but this year wasn’t meant to be. I tell myself that there’s always next year, and if absence makes the heart grow fonder, than next year’s visit will be that much sweeter.

One destination to consider for your next Italian trip is definitely my native region of Calabria! Beach lovers will be happy to know that hundreds and hundreds of azure coastlines surrounds Calabria all yours for the enjoyment.
