Cinque Terre - Newsletter

Subscribe to my Slow travel in Italy newsletter!

Liguria is just one of the many amazing regions of Italy. Where are you going after?

I've been traveling around Italy for 19 years - as a tour guide with small groups, a destination specialist working with journalists and film crews, on research trips to discover new areas, to develop my travel business, and of course, with family and friends just for fun.

I've got so many stories to share, and my hard drive is packed with Italian photos. That's why I started my website, italy-slowtravel.com, and now I've launched a newsletter on Substack.

By subscribing to my free newsletter, you'll get to know the other side of Italy - the one away from tour buses, Instagram hotspots, touristy menus, and inflated prices. I'll be writing about Italy's best kept secrets, hidden gems and authentic experiences: medieval hilltop towns, secret beaches, tiny islands, colorful fishing villages, farmstays, bike paths, festivals - and of course, wonderful local people. My favourite areas include Abruzzo, Puglia, Cilento, Procida and the Egadi Islands off the coast of Sicily.

I plan to send the newsletter biweekly, but during the busy spring and autumn months, when I'm guiding small group tours in Southern Italy, it may just be once a month.

If you're planning a trip to Italy, I encourage you to travel slow. Stay in a hilltop farmhouse surrounded by olive trees, an apartment in a charming medieval village, or a villa on a tiny island.

Live like a local. Get to know your Italian neighbors - the baker, the butcher, the old ladies selling zucchini flowers at the market, the men playing cards at the bar. Walk, bike, learn some Italian. Pick up local habits, like having breakfast at the bar or taking a siesta after a lazy lunch. Just head to the piazza and watch Italian life unfold.
