Italy's Best Trips - Southern Italy (PDF Chapter)

This is the Southern Italy chapter from Lonely Planet’s Italy’s Best Trips guidebook.

Nature itself seems a little wilder in southern Italy, where a single landscape might encompass smoking volcanoes, fertile valleys, precipitous sea cliffs and cobalt waters. Away from Naples’ traffic-clogged roads, this is also perfect driving country.
