The Ancient Romans were famous for their decadence. Imagine Julius Caesar sprawled across a chaise longue, drinking wine out of a golden chalice with his manservant feeding him luscious, plump grapes... Sounds fairly pricey, as it no doubt was! But today all of Rome's patented decadence is available to the rest of us who aren't Roman Emperors at a great value. So if you've been craving a bottle of great red wine with a heaping plate of Spaghetti alla Carbornara, what's stopping you from hopping a flight and enjoying Rome the way the ancients intended!
Leaving Rome will, indeed, be a sad time; but dry your tears with the knowledge that what awaits you in neighboring Campania is nothing short of exquisite!
If you want an authentic taste of southern Italian culture, Sorrento is as good a destination as any on the peninsula. Walking through Sorrento you'll be surrounded by the thrilling energy of Campania, complemented by the constant drone of Vespa motorbikes tearing through the city and rugged Italian men conversing heatedly in the cafés. Just like that of Naples, Sorrento's fare is mainly based on the holy culinary trinity of tomato, basil, and mozzarella, and the resulting dishes are any food lover's dream. And as the city pulsates with vivacity, Sorrento's cliffs invite you to admire a panoramic view of the Mediterranean, either hand-in-hand with your significant other or in solitary contemplation with a glass of wine.
Those familiar with Italy will sense that a noticeably different air permeates Palermo, one suggestive of being in an entirely different country. Ask a native whether he/she is Italian or Sicilian and hear the sweet sound of "Io sono siciliano/a!" tickle your ears! As you walk the Palermo streets, the city's distinctiveness will reveal itself to you, whether you are passing Arab or Norman architecture, traversing its famed food/spice market, or just observing the rituals and mannerisms of each native. But if you want to immerse yourself in the delicious culinary culture of Palermo, try each of this city's famous if unusual dishes and your palate will be more than pleased that you decided to visit this historic city!
