Hotels in Italy South, Italy

Southern Italy, stretching from Naples to Sicily, has hot summers (80-90°F / 27-32°C) and mild winters (50-60°F / 10-15°C), and is famous for ancient Greek temples at Paestum, the Amalfi Coast's cliffside villages, and active volcanoes like Mount Vesuvius and Mount Etna. In summer you can swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea along the Amalfi Coast or hike Etna's craters, while winter is perfect for exploring baroque towns like Lecce and Noto without the heat. The region splits into distinct areas: the Amalfi Coast offers coastal views and lemon groves, Puglia features unique trullo houses and olive groves, and Sicily combines Greek ruins with Sicilian cuisine like arancini.
