If you love life, go to southern Italy

Most travelers first choose to go to central and northern Italy, such as Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice... Modern and fashionable cities and rich historical sites attract tourists from all directions. Rome belongs to the border between north and south of Italy. The road from Rome to the south is a European-style leisurely experience that becomes more and more warm as you go.

When people talk about typical Italian qualities such as love for leisure, generosity, and inner romance, they are often only expressions of southern Italians. Southern Italians are most enthusiastic about drinking, dining, singing, dancing, falling in love, etc., and they celebrate life simply and enthusiastically.

This is a leisure trip with the sun, sea, cliffs, and world heritage old city as the main elements. You can not only enjoy the sweetness of doing nothing, but also have enough exciting content to slowly enjoy, South Italy We need to savor such a small and beautiful style deeply and slowly.

Day 1: Chengdu-Rome

Arranging flights that depart during the day and arrive at night will help you rest better after a long flight and start a relaxing and enjoyable vacation

Day 2: Rome-Naples

After breakfast, drive to Naples for about 2.5 hours. There is a proverb in Italy: To reach Naples in the morning is enough to die by night; and the Chinese proverb " Hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening." There are similarities but the same purpose. It means seeing the beautiful scenery of Naples and dying without regrets.

The Royal Palace of Naples was the residence of the King of Spain during his rule in Naples (although the King never came). In the 17th century, Naples had become the second largest city in Europe after Paris< /p>

Don’t be deceived by its simple appearance. The decoration and exhibits inside can no longer be described as magnificent

Leaving the palace and walking towards the sea, the streets are not wide. The building is not high and the people are nice

The eye-catching Castle Egg. The reason why this castle has such a peculiar name is because the Roman writer Virgil buried a stone where the church is now. An egg, a fable that if the egg breaks, Naples will also collapse

Every world heritage old town must have its own charm. These scenes will create an illusion of time and space. Now you can see it What I feel is the same as it was hundreds of years ago. This old city is like an old man who can tell stories, telling us a story in a silent language in time and space

Chaos is the greatest charm of Naples! And Naples may be the city with the most tension in life in Italy

The messiness of the old town does give you a wonderful feeling. Maybe he is so old that he doesn’t care about being old, he doesn’t care about you, and he doesn’t care about him; maybe he is lazy and comfortable, so he is very laissez-faire, and there is nothing greater than delicious food and good weather; maybe he is proud, as if you want to go see Naples , you can only go and see him like that, it’s up to you whether you love him or not

“It’s enough to go to Naples in the morning and die in the evening”

Day 3: Naples-Pompei -Soleto-Naples

Today’s itinerary is also very easy. It takes about half an hour to reach Pompeii by car.

A volcanic eruption in AD 79 completely destroyed the city. The city was buried under a layer of volcanic rock, and approximately 2,000 people died. He fell asleep in a unique way, and stayed in the hearts of the world forever in the same way. Even the entire city was mostly preserved, as if time had stopped. I don’t know how people reacted when faced with the disaster. What is thought, thought and felt.

The ancient Romans, who were particular about life, built temples, squares, shops, bathhouses, and even brothels in the city, making it a well-known city of wine and sex.

More than two thousand years ago, people in Pompeii used lead pipes to transport water. But at that time, people did not know that lead was poisonous. This may be one of the reasons why ancient people did not live long. Drinking this water for a long time will cause chronic lead poisoning

In the face of nature, People are small

At noon, we ate at a seafood food stall in Sorrento. There is the sea in front of you, and under the sun are the busy restaurant waiters. After enjoying the Italian seafood here, you can start wandering around the island town in the afternoon.

There is an ancient legend in Sorrento. It is said that a Greek sailor heard the beautiful singing of Sorrento at sea and came by boat, but was swept away by a beautiful devil. Return again. Gorky lived here from 1924 to 1927.

There is also an old song called "Return to Sorrento", Sorrento is Sorrento.

Walking in the alleys of Sorrento, like all small town life, there is sunshine everywhere, and you can even smell the sea breeze deep in the alleys. Moist, tender.

Southern Italians rarely go to big supermarkets and like to go to the corner grocery store to buy things. This is an important part of their social activities

And the most romantic thing is to go to the grocery store on the corner to buy things. The lover is lying on the beach, listening to the singing of the waves and basking in the sun... This scene is so beautiful

The ancient Roman city wall of Sorrento was built to resist the invasion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and pirates. , now only a small section remains, about 400 meters

When you are tired from walking, you can enjoy a glass of strong lemon wine with the fragrance of lemons in the garden, and quietly listen to the famous song "That's Love" The relaxed and lazy romantic love that only belongs to southern Italy.

Day 4: Naples - Capri - Salerno

On the Mediterranean Sea, which is famous for its calm waves, it takes about 45 minutes by boat to Capri.

This small island is the perfect epitome of Mediterranean style. Its blue waters, lush vegetation, exquisite holiday cottages and gardens, ancient Roman ruins, etc. make it one of the most popular holiday destinations in Italy. one.

Banshee Island is another name for Capri Island. Because Emperor Augustus exchanged "ten cities" for it, and his successor Tiberius lived in seclusion here for ten years, she is very similar to A charming woman was infected with cholera, so people blamed her as a banshee

The Augustine Garden in the town records the ten years of Tiberius' life living here.

In fact, there is no succubus in Capri, just because she is so beautiful, countless people are impressed by Capri. But this beauty is indeed without any falsehood.

Tonight we will stay in Salerno, where the Allied and German forces fought fiercely during World War II. The Salerno landing was the Allied Forces' first attack on mainland Italy

The center of the old town of Salerno is the best-preserved medieval town on the entire Italian peninsula

? The best experience is to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourists and enter the life of the locals in the overly commercialized towns on the Amalfi Coast such as Positano, Amalfi and even Sorrento.

Day 5: Salerno – about 25KM Amalfi – about 223KM Matera

Amalfi, listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1997, is also an American country One of the 50 must-visit places in geography, it has the most charming coastline in the world.

Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck once said this to describe her: Positano is a dreamland that is not very real when you are there. After you leave, it becomes alive

The small houses painted mustard yellow or dark orange by the wind and rain, the vineyards extending along the slopes, and the extremely beautiful sandy beaches connecting the sea and the cliffs. . . All this makes the town of Positano the most beautiful town on the Amalfi Coast

The various beauties reflected in this ordinary life, the beauty of nature, color, pattern, light and shadow, It’s the beauty of life we ??pursue

Maybe you can’t have it, but you can’t forget it either. As people once said: God owes everyone a Positano

In the afternoon, drive to Matera, the second oldest city in the world,

Listed in 1993 It is a world cultural heritage and the oldest existing city in the world. Petra in Jordan ranks first, and Matera is second.

The 2019 European Capital of Culture is this world-famous "stone" city.

The immersive experience is completely different. Walking through the layered and intricate alleys, you have the illusion of going back to ancient times. This feeling is unforgettable and will last forever. .

The Hollywood movie star Mel Gibson produced the sensational and controversial film "The Passion of the Christ" in 2002, which attracted tourists from all over the world and made the location famous all over the world.

Perhaps for Matera, 2019 will be like 2008 for Beijing; I believe this charming town will definitely shine.

Day 6: Matera - about 70KM Alberobello - about 55KM Bari (night boat)

It takes about 1 hour by car to reach the fairy tale world Alberobello Luo. Mushroom Village (called Lishu Town in more literary circles) is world-famous for the Trullo architecture in the city, and was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1996

It is said that this kind of simple and easy to dismantle The building in Xie was built by locals in ancient times to evade taxes. Whenever the tax official went to the countryside to collect taxes, the roof was removed to show that no one lived here. It can be seen that the Italian people have a long tradition of tax evasion, and the results of tax evasion have become world cultural heritage...

Human wisdom is wonderful, and it can turn the poverty of the remaining land into a spectacle that attracts the world and a precious cultural heritage. , like Cinderella becoming a princess overnight.

The Church of St. Anthony in the small town is simple and plain. It has changed from the complicated decoration and exquisite decoration seen in the past, and has a completely different style
