Italy presents plenty of opportunities for the outdoor adventurer, whether you get your kicks staring into the fiery mouth of a volcano or strolling through the Tuscan countryside. The Aeolian Islands are home to both active and inactive volcanoes, while nearby Mt. Etna offers far-reaching views. Hike, bike, or ski through Abruzzo National Park , the southern Apennines, the northeastern Dolomites , or Calabria’s Sila Massif . Enjoy the hiking and beaches of Liguria’s Cinque Terre , a young backpacker’s paradise. Slow things down by taking Grandma on a walk through the Chianti region of Tuscany, which offers travelers a less strenuous experience; walk along country roads past vineyards, olive groves, and ancient castles, all while enjoying views of the surrounding hills and valleys.
