What Should I Expect in Southern Italy?

There are historic cities and fishing villages in the seven southern Italian regions (or eight if you count Sardinia). The South is renowned for its stunning beaches, rugged coastlines, and storied past. Naples, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Bari, Sicily, Apulia, and other places can be found here.

Although less so than in the North and Central of Italy, there are trains and buses that connect the South. The ferry service to the islands from the mainland is excellent. Airports are located in Sicily, Bari, and Naples.
