Hotels in Italy South, Italy

Southern Italy stretches from Campania to Calabria, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot, dry summers averaging 85°F (29°C) and mild winters around 55°F (13°C). It's famous for its ancient Greek ruins at Paestum, the volcanic peak of Mount Vesuvius, and the sapphire waters of the Amalfi Coast where you can hike the Path of the Gods in spring. Winter is ideal for exploring Pompeii's excavated streets and tasting olive oil in Puglia's trulli houses without the summer crowds, while summer draws you to the sulfur hot springs of Ischia and boat trips to the Blue Grotto on Capri.
