Days spent exploring
Beyond the coastline, the region is dense with places worth a half day. Historic seaside towns offer stone streets, harbour promenades, small galleries and cafes under bell towers, best explored in the morning or the cooler evening hours. Inland, hilltop villages sit above vineyards and olive groves with long views toward the sea, often with a single square, a church and a restaurant that has been there for generations. We suggest routes that combine one town with a viewpoint and a place to eat, so a day of sightseeing still feels like a holiday rather than a schedule.
