Daniele, one of our local expert guides, says, “Gelato isn't just ice cream - it's Italy in a spoonful. Made with fresh, natural ingredients and churned to silky perfection, one scoop and you'll understand why Italians take their gelato so seriously."First up, we're hitting Cala Ginepro, a beach that looks like it's straight out of a postcard. Imagine a curved stretch of light golden sand with pink rocky outcrops and a dazzling turquoise sea. It's the perfect spot for lounging, with calm, shallow waters that are just begging for a splash. Next, we'll call at the former fishing village of Santa Lucia. Wander through its charming streets where local fishermen are just going about their day, and you'll see how the sea is woven into everyday life.After free time to enjoy this photogenic spot, it's off to La Caletta, a long, wide beach that's all about family fun. Surrounded by a pine forest, it's got everything you need, from sailing and surfing to diving and boat trips, plus all the amenities you could ask for. You'll wrap things up at a local 'gelateria' where home-made ice cream in a rainbow of flavours is on the agenda. Whatever flavour you decide on, your taste buds are in for a treat.
