Southern Tuscany
The hill towns and valleys south of Siena comprise perhaps Tuscany's most captivating and picturesque region, much of the area is filled with the expansive and beautiful Val d'Orcia (most people's idealized picture of Tuscany). It is a land of medieval castles guarding narrow road passes, isolated farmhouses sitting atop long, eroded limestone ridges, clusters of cypress and ribbons of plane trees against a rural setting, and thermal spas dating from long times past. Most of the region has been landscaped over thousands of years, turning the low, rolling hills into farmlands and vineyards that produce Tuscany's mightiest red wines. Southern Tuscany's cities are textbook Italian hill towns. This is Etruscan country, where the necropolis near Sovana hints at a rich and somewhat mysterious pre-Roman civilization, where Roman settlements like Montalcino and Montepulciano grew into medieval cities and today produce two of Italy's top red wines, the powerhouse Brunello di Montalcino and the noble Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

Positano
Positano seems to be standing, leaning against the jagged mountain rock face, with many multicolored houses that seem to be built in a single cluster, all on top of each other. The town is very unique and incredibly attractive. It is the kingdom of many flights of little steps, of narrow passageways enlivened and colored by wonderful shops, lively bars and cafes, and restaurants that specialize in seafood. Visit and explore the Ruins from Roman settlements which are found near the Church of Assunta. The majolica tiled dome of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta can be seen from every corner of the town and the beaches of Positano are formed from volcanic sand and small stones, which lend to the background and so much more.

Naples
The proximity of the city of Naples (Napoli) to the Vesuvius gives its inhabitants a certain edge. Its reputation as the most vibrant city in Italy can be a double-edged sword, explaining why some tourists like it and some hate it outright. Nonetheless, the charm of Naples resides in its narrow streets with numerous ancient churches, street markets, cafes, bars and restaurants, all leading to a cacophony of sounds and images embodying the spirit of the Italian South. Visit and discover the Ancient Ruins of Pompeii, Climb Mount Vesuvius, sail to the Island of Capri, explore the Nativity Markets, visit the National Archaeological Museum, the Secret Underground World and the San Gennaro Catacombs, visit the Ruins of Herculaneum, enjoy the Piazzas of the city, and so much more.
