Avoiding the crowds in Italy, the most beautiful beaches are recommended

The coastline of Italy is located in multiple parts of the Mediterranean Sea. It is exceptionally clear and blue due to calm sea water, minimal sediment, and low phosphate content. In the Environmental Education Foundation's 2018 selection, 368 beaches in Italy were awarded the Blue Flag (high water quality and sustainable development). So, how do we find those stunning and less crowded beaches among the numerous high-quality ones?

Sardinia

Sardinia is located 200 kilometers west of the Italian peninsula coast, and it is the second largest island in the Western Mediterranean after Sicily. The capital is Cagliari. Sardinia boasts a unique Italian culture and is also one of the oldest regions in Europe.
Located on the Amalfi Coast in the Campania region of Italy, Positano is a small town where most of the settlement is nestled between the mountains and the sea. The Amalfi Coast is renowned as the most beautiful beach in Europe, with a winding coastline, towering mountains, interspersed valleys and capes, and a mix of orchards and wild plants. This pristine natural environment is rich in cultural history, with many picturesque towns scattered throughout the dense forests. The most beautiful of these towns is Positano. The white houses are evenly and closely distributed on the hillside, making them very striking. They are built around a beautiful church, with staircases leading directly to the church, which also has a main square.

Liguria

Liguria borders France on its westernmost side and boasts a coastline stretching over 300 kilometers, which includes the world-famous Cinque Terre. As a result, other beaches in Liguria often seem overshadowed by Cinque Terre and Nice in France. However, this is good news for tourists because it means fewer crowds! Here, you can find beautiful beaches with fewer visitors. You will definitely feel it was worth the trip, as there are medieval monasteries, deep blue waters, and even the opportunity to dive and see the 'Christ of the Abyss' statue submerged in the sea.

Puglia

Puglia is one of the most famous beaches in Italy and Europe, known for its two massive white rocks near the coast that have become landmarks. But don't worry about too many tourists, as access is restricted to those with a pass, and the best way to get a pass is by booking a local hotel!

Sicily

Due to its geographical location, the eastern part of Sicily, which is close to the Apennine Peninsula, attracts more tourists, while the western part is relatively less populated and remains almost in its original state. If you go further west, leaving the main island of Sicily, you can reach the Egadi Islands. Among them, the second largest island, Marettimo, has a population of less than 1,000, making it an ideal place to stay for several days.
