Besides great cuisine, Italy is also a country with beautiful villages like stepping out of a fairy tale.
6. Polignano a Mare, Puglia
Perched atop a limestone cliff overlooking the dazzling Adriatic Sea, Polignano a Mare is one of the locations featured in many scenes. Believed to date back to the 4th century BC, this beautiful village is steeped in history, providing a relaxing feel when wandering through its old streets. The two sides are the beach and craggy cliffs, the whitewashed houses are delicately built along the cliffs, making the space seem much more open.
7. Chieti, Abruzzo
This is a secluded place between the Pescara and Alento river valleys. You can admire the cityscape below from the Maiella and Gran Sasso mountain ranges – some of the highest peaks in the entire Apennie range. Greek mythology says that this wondrous city was created by the hero Achilles and dates back to 1181 BC.
8. Tivoli, Lazio
A small city with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Tivoli is a must-see Italian town 20km west of Rome. Famous for its lush gardens and unique fountains, Tivoli was once a summer hot spot for Romans and gents. Renaissance architecture, emerald green lakes and manicured, manicured gardens are just a few of this neighborhood's tourist attractions.
9. Ferrara, Emilia Romagna
With elegant architecture and quaint cobblestone streets, Ferrara is a delightful city located in northern Italy right on Bologna. Like stepping out of a fairy tale, this place owns a towering castle, located proudly in the city center, linked to a 13th-century palace through a narrow passageway. The city was once protected by an ancient moat and the walls are mostly intact to this day.
10. Castel de Monte, Puglia
