7 Of Italy’s Most Affordable And Beautiful Beach Resorts

With the EU preparing to let qualified visitors from outside the bloc visit for leisure travel, and Italy announcing a “green pass” to be available from mid-May, a seaside holiday in the country will soon be possible for many for the first time since 2019. While a number of resort destinations are already seeing robust bookings, consider that with a long and varied coastline, Italy can offer, in addition to its famed beach havens, many beautiful and affordable spots that are lesser known among international travelers.Here, Italy experts Philip Curnow, founder of Delicious Italy, a Rome-based site specializing in the country’s travel and food; Francesca Montillo, a culinary instructor, author and tour planner who heads up Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures; and Cassandra Santoro, owner of Travel Italian Style, a company specializing in custom Italian itineraries, discuss some of their preferred summer resorts for maximizing travel dollars and euros.While these destinations won’t attract the number of visitors typically found pre-pandemic on the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, “they will be busy during peak summer months,” says Montillo. “Going to the beach in Italy is a way of life, and what just about every Italian looks forward to all year long.” But she points out that as many of these resorts will be frequented by Italians “there’s still a sense of authenticity to the experience.”
