San Gimignano, Siena, Tuscany
Tuscany is full of beautiful hill towns, but San Gimignano is something special. With its characteristic outline - medieval towers, intact historic center and honey-colored stone houses - it will convince even the most demanding guests. On its winding "backbone" it hides churches with frescoes and a Gothic palace, while behind the city walls you will be greeted by vineyards and olive groves. It will take you about 5 hours to get to San Gimignano from Ljubljana.

Via Krupp, Capri, Naples
Via Krupp is a historic footpath on the island of Capri and connects the Carthusian Church of San Giacomo and the Gardens of Augusta with Marina Piccolo. It is said to have been built between 1900 and 1902, namely by order of the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp. Among other things, this route is said to lead to the Grotta di Fra Felice cave, where orgies with local youth are said to take place. Krupp had to leave Italy in 1902 when the revelations came. Since 1976, Via Krupp has been closed due to the danger of falling rocks, but the view from above is no less spectacular. Head to the Gardens of Augusta and see the fascinating Capri. Since the drive from Ljubljana would take at least 10 hours, it is better to go there by plane. Low-cost airlines also fly to Naples from Venice.

Lake Misurina, Belluno, Veneto
Lake Misurina, the jewel of the Dolomites, reflects the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Cadini, Sorappis and Cristallo massifs on its surface. It was not only its beauty and magnificence that made it world famous, but also its special microclimate, which is known for its healing properties. This is how various respiratory diseases are treated here. There are several activities available - in every season. Due to its location, we can expect natural snow here for as many as 6 months of the year. In summer, Misurina is an excellent starting point for various types of hiking. It will take you 3 and a half hours to get to Misurina from Ljubljana by car.

Burano, Venice
One of the islands in the Venetian lagoon, it is known for its colorful facades and is often ranked among the top 10 colorful locations in the world. The distinctive feature of the fishing island is the leaning church bell tower, and you will be greeted on the streets by elderly ladies embroidering original Buran lace. There is no shortage of fish restaurants (the most famous is fish risotto - risotto de gò), pizzerias, pastry shops and, of course, ice cream. Venice is a 2 and a half hour drive from Ljubljana, where you will transfer to a vaporetto or water bus that will take you to the island.

Chiaia di Luna, Ponza
In the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from Terracina, there is the small island of Ponza, and on it one of the most beautiful bays in Italy: Chiaia di Luna. It is surrounded by cliffs that form a crescent shape - hence the name. Crystal clear water, beautiful view and one of the most beautiful sunsets in Ponza. Even for a trip or vacation to Ponza, we suggest you go to Rome with a low-cost car. There you can transfer to a ferry that can take you directly to Ponza. Or you can go from Rome to Terracina and transfer to the ferry there.

Varenna, Lake Como, Lombardy
You know Bellagio, but what about Varenna? This is also one of the towns on Lake Como that is definitely worth your visit. From there you will have a view of the most famous city, that is, Bellagio (you will arrive there in 15 minutes by ferry), and at the same time you will enjoy the picturesqueness and unforgettable charm of this slightly quieter neighborhood. In addition to the old fishermen's houses, you will also have the opportunity to visit a very typical leather shop with handmade pieces (wallets, belts, handbags), and of course, don't miss the promenade by the lake. Varenna is a good 5-hour drive from Ljubljana.
