What people love about touring South Italy solo
- Southern Italy
A fabulous trip with a fantastic mix of scenery, walking , culture and food experiences. It was our 20th year wedding trip and we had a lot of fun!
- Sicilian Secrets - Mini Tour of Sicily 5 days
We loved the Sicilian Secrets tour. Accommodation was great at most places and good at the lowest rated hotel. The places we. I sited we would not have been able to visit on our own especially the valley of the temples and the roman villa
- Sicilian Secrets – Tour of Sicily & Aeolian Islands
Excellent hotels and trip. Times kept to by everyone. Bit of confusion over one tour on Lipari but it was all cleared up quickly. One thing would be prior knowledge of what will be for lunch. I would rather go get my own on some days as certain food items were not to our liking. Our guide, Angelo, eas very good. Made sure my sister had her vegan choices and clearly pointed out what was appropriate.

These destinations offer reliable public transportation networks social atmospheres and a warm local welcome. Places like the Mercure Palermo Centro in Sicily's capital give travelers a central base for independent exploration. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Sorrento was perfect as a solo base - safe to walk around lots of cafes and restaurants and easy to meet other travelers at the hotel's common areas."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit South Italy?
Visit during the shoulder seasons from April to May or September to October. These periods offer comfortable temperatures less crowded attractions and better chances to connect with other travelers.
