The Conscious Traveller Italy : The Definitive Guide to Ethical Travel

A large percentage of tourists to Italy visit only a small portion of the country, leading to overtourism in the most popular areas. The Conscious Traveller Italy addresses that imbalance, as the definitive sustainable Italy travel guide for discovering authentic regional food, local artisans, hidden towns and unforgettable experiences beyond the tourist hotspots. Written by food writer and Italy expert Emiko Davies, it shows travellers how to explore Italy more deeply while supporting the people and places that make it extraordinary. From immersing yourself in the history of Italian life to exploring regional towns and natural attractions, this beautiful guidebook provides a road map for visitors who want to leave a positive impact on this much-beloved country. Learn how to experience Italy's diverse offerings, from taking a lace course in Burano or visiting Deruta, a ceramics town in Umbria, to eating dinner on a trabucco – a traditional fishing structure in Puglia's Gargano Peninsula. This book serves as your ultimate guide to respectful and enriching travel. With stunning photography, illustrated maps and itineraries that cover Tuscany, Umbria, Sicily, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige, Abruzzo, Puglia, Liguria, Lazio, Piemonte, Le Marche and Emilia-Romagna.
