Hotels in Italy South, Italy

Southern Italy, stretching from Naples to Sicily, enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot summers averaging 86°F (30°C) and mild winters around 55°F (13°C). It's famous for its ancient Greek and Roman ruins like the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, and the active volcano Mount Etna. During summer, you can hike Etna's craters or snorkel in the clear waters of the Amalfi Coast, while winter brings skiing on Etna's slopes and cheaper city breaks to explore the 20,000-seat Greek Theatre in Taormina. Spring and fall offer perfect temperatures for island hopping the Aeolian Islands or tasting red wines like Nero d'Avola in Sicily's vineyards.
