Me and some friends are leaving in a month’s time, maybe two.

Give me suggestions down below. I’m asking on Discord, Twitter, etc.

            i mean it’s beautiful and you’ll probably love it but i used to work in south italy so it feels super fake and touristy in comparison

            in tuscany everyone you’ll see will be a rich middle aged tourist; go to the toe, sole or heel of the boot and everyone you see will be a real working class italian or a scabby cat

                sicily’s definitely real, whole bay of naples area is tight, anywhere in the mountains will be super nice

                i used to work in pompeii, you should spend several days there and in herculaneum and other regional sites

                learn a little italian though, people speak less english south of florence and venice

                    the villa of the mysteries is walking distance from pompeii and has secret rooms where a cult tripped balls to commune with dionysus

                    paestum’s cool, just a big open field full of giant temples

                    do not miss the naples museum, that’s where a lot of the best shit from pompeii/herculaneum went
