It is difficult – if not impossible – to limit a list of things to do in Italy to 100, and even more difficult to put them in order of descending significance or entertainment value: home to Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, with islands as diverse as dour Sicily and African-influenced Pantelleria and cultures as far apart as Renaissance Venice and the prehistoric Trulli in Alberobello, Italy is a vibrant and colorful hotch-potch, a land of stark and passionately defended contrasts.

Let’s continue the count…

41. Rabbit Beach (Lampedusa) and Rabbit Island

At a diminutive 20 square kilometres in size, Lampedusa is nonetheless the largest of the Pelagie islands (south of Sicily and located in the Mediterranean between Malta and Tunisia), yet the island’s idyllic Rabbit Beach is claimed by many to be the most beautiful beach in the world. With crystal clear turquoise water and fine white sand, it is everything a beach should be and then some. A few metres from Lampedusa`s west coast lies Rabbit Island, a nature reserve and the only place in the Mediterranean where the loggerhead sea turtle lays its eggs, also with stunningly beautiful beaches..

Both Lampedusa and Rabbit Island are very quiet and little touristy; for more tourist attractions, the nearby island of Linosa is better equipped! Lampedusa has its own airport, and the larger Pelagie islands are accessible by ferry from Agrigento, Sicily (overnight crossing, up to 9 hours).

42. Valcamonica Rock Drawings

The Valcamonica is a large central Alpine valley located in eastern Lombardy, famous for one of the largest collections of petroglyphs worldwide. Between 200.000 and 300.000 rock drawings, over 8.000 years old, cover the surfaces of the valley, most notably in Capo di Ponte, Darfo Boario Terme (which is also a spa and wellness resort) and Paspardo. The drawings were recognized by UNESCO – as Italy’s first World Heritage Site – as early as 1979.

Valcamonica lies 67km to the north of Brescia (under 1 hour by road) and trains run regularly from Brescia to Darfo Boario Terme (around 1 ¼ hours).

43. Etnaland (Belpasso, Sicily)

With 220.000 square metres of rides, games and shows, Etnaland is the largest theme park in southern Italy and on the top 10 of Sicily`s summer attractions. Whether spectacular, exciting or romantic, Etnaland offers fun and enjoyment for all tastes with its theme park, its Aqua Park and its prehistoric park, as well as playgrounds and events for smaller children. Children under 1.5 metres in height will not be admitted to some rides, however entrance is free for children 1 metre in height and smaller.

Catania, on the east coast of Sicily, is the nearest city and has its own airport. Belpasso is around 25 minutes by bus, however Etnaland is over 8 km from the railway station so car rental or taxi are advisable.
