Beaches and beach towns after "Best of South of Italy" wraps up?

Posted by confuso (washington state) on 01/12/25 12:46 AM

So we decided to take the best of South of Italy Rick Steves tour in September. The tour ends on Thursday and we'll stay through Sunday, coming back either from Naples or Rome (depending on where we'll stay the last three days).

We're looking for a beach where we can go sunbathing and walk around (hopefully a sandy beach), and that's close enough to either NAP or FCO (Naples or Rome airports) so we can get to the airports easily after our stay (and hopefully we don't need to rent a car for that).

Any ideas?

If you end in Naples, look at Ischia. I particularly like Forio.

Ischia looks like the best place, to be honest. However, I'm a bit worried about needing a ferry to leave, and sometimes the ferries are suspended due to heavy weather.

Where ever you end up, you will be well advised to be in the airport city the night before. That would not necessarily rule out Ischia as an option.

I agree. Thus I'm looking for something relaxed to do in the last few days.

One possibility is going back to Rome (1h15m train), but we've been there a week before, and we'll also be there at the beginning of the "best of South of Italy" tour.
