Other Areas If you would like to visit other parts of Italy, I have contacts throughout the country and can offer advice.

Roman Fora
|
Rome Its hard to bypass the Eternal City when in Italy. The Roman ruins and Vatican top the list of "must see" sights. When you visit the Colosseum and fora, take the time to climb the Palatine hill. It is above the throngs of tourists, has interesting ruins and beautiful views of Rome. Take the train to Ostia Antica and see the old Roman port. |
|
Venice A visit to Venice is always a memorable experience. After the museums and canal rides, I enjoy getting out of the central area to Burano, famous for its lace and colorful homes. |
|
Spas There is a large thermal area running through Tuscany. You can "take the cure" in the spa town of Chianciano Terme or luxuriate at the Hotel Terme di Medici (on the cover of Travel+Leisure October 2002) in San Casciano dei Bagni. |
|
Umbria Orvieto and Assisi are wonderful towns in between Rome and Florence. |
|
Lake Como The stunning sights of this lake surrounded by the Alps will enchant you! |
|
Sicily Sicily is a melting pot of cultures! The Greeks, Arabs, Normans and Spanish all left a lasting impression on the island. |
