A Gap Year In Italy

A man overlooking an Italian view

Spaghetti and Gelato

It is impossible to know where to start when it comes to Italy as every city you visit is more beautiful than the other.

Start with the best of the bunch and get a bargain flight to Venice, Rome, Florence, or Sicily - but remember to leave time for the beautiful Amalfi Coast, lots of ice cream and a bucket load of spaghetti.

La dolce vita..The sweet life. Italy is a classic destination offering great diversity, whether it be for a short weekend break, an extended holiday or a full blown gap year. From the tranquillity of a gondola ride around the canals of Venice, to the buzz of a Lambretta around Naples, Italy's got the lot. Highlights include seeing the incredible Coliseum of Rome, the haunting 'city of ash' that was once Pompeii in the shadows of Mount Vesuvius, the stunning Florence, centre of the Renaissance and surrounded by the rolling Tuscan countryside, and the beautiful Lake Como in the mountains north of Milan. There are many other visual highlights in Italy, but the country offers so much more. The people put the passion in passionate, and the pizzas, pasta, Chianti and tiramisu make a visit to Italy a must. Stu Booy - Telesales
