The uniqueness of the rest on the sea in Italy lies in the fact that it is equally interesting for tourists of all ages: families with a child, youth companies, lovers of excursion and active entertainment.
In this article, we will look at the best places to stay in Italy by the sea, talk about entertainment and beaches, and give approximate prices.
Climate
The highlight of a holiday on the Italian coast is that the country is washed by four seas. Here are the seas that wash Italy: Adriatic, Ionian, Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean... You can relax both on the mainland of Italy and on its islands: Lido, Sardinia, Sicily, Capri, Ischia.
All resort towns located on the sea coast, have a developed infrastructure and an extensive coastal zone... Each of the beaches is divided into 2-3 sectors, each with its own color of umbrellas and sunbeds, and belongs to a particular hotel (but this does not mean that tourists cannot move outside their sector). True, you need to take into account the fact that sun loungers can be paid.
Sun loungers and umbrellas are never removed, but spreading your towel on the beach is unlikely to work: the coast is lined with sun loungers so that there is only one walking strip along the sea, and it is given over to leisurely walks along the water.
The most favorable months for visiting Italian seaside resorts are from June to early September.
In the winter months, Italy is preferred by those whose purpose of travel is excursions, shopping and skiing. At this time of the year, the air temperature does not rise above + 10-12 (and at night it drops to +4). You can find out more about the popular ski resorts in Italy.
As for the summer months, which are the peak of tourist activity, at this time there is a real expanse for those who prefer a beach holiday. In May, the air temperature is already comfortable for walking (+20), but the water is pretty cool.
But July and August are the hottest months: in most Italian resorts it is hot, + 24-28 degrees, and sometimes the heat reaches its peak (+32 in the shade). The water is heated to an average of 22 degrees, on hot days it warms up to 27 degrees.
Where is the best place to rest?
Where to go in Italy for an excellent sea vacation? We provide you with a selection of the best resorts in Italy by the sea with photos and a short description.
Adriatic coast
For those who prefer to combine vacation with health improvement, we recommend the thermal resorts - Termini Imerese (children's pathologies), Aliterme (dermatology, gynecology), Shakkamare (general somatic diseases), Torga (arthritis and skin diseases).
A vacation in Italy is simply unforgettable. Rich culture and history, stunning nature and long sandy beaches. Are you still in doubt?
Many tourists deny themselves the pleasure of rest only because they have no one to leave their children with just at the time of the main vacation. Believe me, Italy will welcome not only adults, but even the smallest travelers with warmth and love.
Advantages of Italy for children's holidays over other tourist countries:
- Of course, Italy is not an all-inclusive Turkey. But this is aristocratic Europe with healthy mountain air, a lot of antique sights and entertainment.
- Holidays in Italy with children is one of the safest. Italians are a very educated nation and are sensitive to both their own and other people's children;
In Italy, there are many chic shady parks, zoos, water parks, theme parks, amusement parks (and so you can list endlessly)

- The favorable summer climate of Italy allows you to rest for all three months and even during September at various resorts, depending on the characteristic climatic features of a particular region;
- Italy is as many as 5 seas with iodized air, clean sand, dunes, pebbles, surrounded by sheer cliffs or dense forests. Many beaches have a shallow entrance and the sea is shallow. Choose what your heart desires.
- Looking for privacy? In Italy, you will find many quiet resorts away from the major tourist centers, where the indigenous people prefer to relax. At the same time, transport links are excellent, and getting to large cities will not pose any problems.
- You can find hotels with Russian-language animation, which is quite interestingly organized in Italy. Moreover, if parents want to go on a long excursion, the small child can be left under the supervision of a nanny.
- Parents in Italy will be just as interested as children - the sea of the sun, delicious wine, amazing cuisine in coastal restaurants, a lot of exciting excursions, designed equally for both age categories.
Where to relax in Italy?
They go to Italy for a beach vacation in the summer. But more often for traveling with children, they choose late June and the first days of September - it is not so hot, the sea is warm, and hotels are slowly lowering their prices. But in Sicily and Sardinia, washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, you can have a great rest in August, where the heat is not so strong.
There are many resorts in Italy for every taste and it makes no sense to cover all of them, and there is no possibility. Therefore, we will stop at one resort in mainland, island Italy and at a resort located on the largest Lake Garda.
Mainland Italy
If we talk about mainland Italy, then Russian tourists have recently preferred the eastern Adriatic coast. The resort town of Rimini is gaining more and more popularity among couples. Why? This is the most important resort in the Adriatic Sea, where you can find everything your heart desires.
Rimini is a clear example of true Italian hospitality.
In Rimini very fine sand and shallow bottom, ideal for bathing babies. The beaches stretch for as much as 32 km. Most of them are paid, but in return for money you get first-class equipment in the form of sun loungers, umbrellas, changing rooms and showers.
Among other things, there are playgrounds right on the beaches where the child can release energy to freedom. For older children and their parents, volleyball nets are stretched, tennis tables are installed (not counting water attractions - catamarans, water skis, bananas, etc.).
Most of the hotels are located a stone's throw from the beach, which is important for a child who quickly gets tired of long journeys. Do you want to save some of the money on visiting the beach? Ask at the hotel reception for a special discount card.
There are three water parks not far from Rimini, one of the most enchanting of them is the water park "Aquafan"... While the kids are having fun on all kinds of slides and attractions, parents have at their disposal a couple of hours of peace with a glass of refreshing cocktail.
Very interesting to visit in Rimini park "Italy in miniature", which presents fragments of sights and Italian cities with the growth of a small child.

Sicily
Sicily is a classic vacation in insular Italy. It is the largest island in the Mediterranean with a population of 5 million. It is impossible not to fall in love with Sicily at first sight. Lush green forests stretch on the northwestern and southeastern coasts of the island, where, in fact, the most modern resorts with sandy beaches are concentrated.
For those who first came to Sicily, experienced tourists, as well as tour operators, are advised to choose the eastern part of the island. These are resorts Catania,
The eastern Sicilian city of Catania is located right at the foot of Mount Etna
Achi-Castello,
Small, quiet resort "Achi-Castello"
Achiriale, Giardini Naxos, Taormina towards the south-east and Syracuse towards the north-east.
In Catania, the tourist beach area "La Playa" is notable. Crystal clear sea, hotels of all stars with spacious gardens and terraces. There is a huge national park just a few hours away. Etna.
Fascinating view of "Etna"
Catania has its own airport, Fontanarossa. There are charter flights from Samara, Moscow and St. Petersburg by a / c "Windjet".
In Taormina with children, you can stay in one of the cozy hotels located near the picturesque bay "Mazzarò"... These stunning locations are right in front of Isola Bella Island. Taormina - palm trees and orange groves, virgin nature and giant hills.
Cozy and quiet bay "Mazzarò"
If you want to see the Italian capital, you can take a ferry from Catania to Naples. And from there to Rome.
The east coast of Sicily is conveniently close to the motorway connecting Catania with Messina and Syracuse. From the Catania-Messina motorway, you can go to the northern coast (if you have your own car), where the capital of the island - Palermo is located.
The grandest club hotel in the northern region of Sicily - "Citta del mare", where on 27 hectares there are all kinds of attractions, sports and playgrounds, swimming pools, water parks, mini-clubs and even a club for teenagers.
There are many decent resorts on Lake Garda
Geographically, the resort is located between Venice and Milan, and each of its areas delights with completely new landscapes and looks. The most beloved vacation spot for many tourists has become its southern part or "Olive Riviera". This name is derived from the abundance of olive groves surrounding it.
Holidays on the Garda have a special flavor with an emphasis on fresh mountain air, hiking and horseback riding, unity with nature. But the children will not be bored here at all: in the amusement park "Movieland" on the eastern shore of the lake, young travelers will get acquainted with the real Terminator,
will have fun in the water park "CanevaWorld AquaParadise" and plunge into the world of the jungle in the safari park "Parco Natura Viva".
This is a completely feasible plan: I would recommend the beach for the first week, the second week for renting cars from a network company with the possibility of renting them in another city, and for the third week, the beach again with an order for a transfer to the airport. Useful information about traveling in Italy by car can be found on the pages of the portal. I advise you to pay attention to the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Now about the resorts of Italy. The Adriatic might look something like this:
Flight either to (inexpensive option with a lot of charters), or arrival in Venice, and return, for example, Rome. Other options are also possible.
Then (as a first approximation) the following program is possible:
First week: a resort in the vicinity of Venice: Lido di Jesolo, Bibione or Lignano Sabbiadoro, but by no means Grado - there is a muddy bottom. You can go on the following excursions: Venice, Verona, Gardaland. But there is one thing: all the listed resorts are crowded. If you want a quieter vacation and smaller resorts, you need to go south of Venice.
Second week: 3-4 days on the way, stops - Pesaro, Cesenatico or Riccione. In addition, I advise you to visit "Mirabilandia". Another plus - excellent shopping at these resorts. In Riccione there is a street of Ceccarini boutiques and various wholesalers. There are many agents, they will be happy to take you for shopping. From excursions: the historical center of Pesaro, San Marino (40 minutes from Rimini), the Gradara fortress, the city of Urbino.
The resort of Numana, located about 30 km south of Ancona, is very interesting - it is not represented on the Russian market. There is clear sea and very coarse sand, something like fine gravel, steep descent, sometimes there is a big wave - children like it. Not far from the resort are the Frasassi grottoes.
Third week:
Mothers with children can spend time in Vieste - this is the Gargano Peninsula - a national park. There is a nice clean sea here. The downside is to come back far. This is if the Adriatic.

Well, what can please more than a vacation in Italy, at the sea, where it is best to spend time at one of the popular equipped resorts. Have you ever thought about where to relax in Italy at sea with children? When is the best time to visit this country? What sights can you see here? No, then read the content of this article, and you will understand how wonderful the rest in this country is.
Excellent beach holidays in Italy with kids
Many lovers of European pastime dream of a vacation in Italy. And this should not be surprising, since this country is an excellent place for family vacations. Another point of attraction here for travelers is the combined and beach tours.
The sea is an ideal place for a great vacation in Italy with children. However, when traveling, choose not hot months - September, June and May, that's when on the coast, tourists are waiting for the soft sun and gentle sea. It is pleasant to start your beach vacation at the end of spring, when the bathing water has already warmed up and the air temperature will not cause you any inconvenience.
The heat becomes unbearable in the middle of summer, so during this period it is better not to plan your vacation with small children. But if you still want to go, then it will not be superfluous to take precautions, otherwise there is a chance to "earn" sun or heatstroke.
When planning a vacation just for the sake of sunbathing or just relaxing without swimming near the sea, choose the end of April or the beginning of May - at this time there are fewer tourists, and the prices for everything are significantly cheaper. The only drawback is that not many dare to swim in the sea in April.
The Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas are perfect for family holidays, and in the hottest month, children will feel good in Ischia, Sardinia and Sicily. The sea in Italy has a convenient entrance, so for families with a child, this is ideal. The air on the coast is also saturated not only with iodine, but also with other useful substances, which has a beneficial effect on the baby's body.
In any case, spending a vacation on the seaside in Italy is a great idea for your vacation not only with children, but also without them, especially considering what resorts and hotels there are.
The best resorts and parts of Italy
Going on a tour of significant places in Italy, it would be nice to think about which resort in the country is most suitable for your vacation. For example, you can visit the following resorts:
Many hotels in Italy are equipped with everything you need for comfortable accommodation with a child, here you will also find a special children's menu in restaurants, you can take part in various animation programs and visit clubs for children.
It is equally important that most hotels in Italy have both adult and children's pools, but in addition to this, a variety of services are provided, including a nanny. An excellent choice for such a holiday will be hotel complexes on the lakes of the country with 4 and 5 stars. They have comfortable beaches with fine pebbles and sand, parks and cozy gardens.

And in order to learn as much as possible about this amazing country, you can visit Rimini with your child, near which there is a theme park called “Italy in miniature”. On its vast square, tourists are presented with a "boot", with the main architectural monuments and their cities, made on a scale of 1: 25 and 1:50.

Also, a visit to the park will be interesting also because there are different attractions for both young children and teenagers. Every day, entertainment programs are held here that do not let the kids get bored. Very often there are performances in different national costumes.
There are also performances in the park called “ Venice in miniature", Which will give little tourists a lot of pleasure - you can walk along the Grand Canal on real boats from real water. In the park, Venice is represented by 119 different palaces, 5 times less than the originals.
You can also go to various bus tours and visit another park "Mirabilandia" which is located between Ravenna and Rimini.

All kinds of entertaining tours for children have always been of considerable interest, and since Italy is famous for its famous art resorts, such as Rome, Florence and Venice, it is impossible not to travel around these places with a small child to get acquainted with their sights.
Don't miss the Pinocchio Park, which is located near Florence in Tuscany. Its territory is home to sculptures, dolls and mosaics that can tell the story of Pinocchio's fascinating history. Children can also visit museums dedicated to this wooden boy.
