Beautiful Beaches - Italian Style

Ok ok, so we have now found some pretty places in Italy. Yesterday, we travelled down the Amalfi Coast within the height of tourism on a Sunday! And today, we travelled over to the east coast of Italy and found a sweet paradise without the crowds in Falconara Marittima, near Ancona.

Unfortunately, even though we drove through the popular villages of Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, there was no way we were able to get a park... but there were a few unknown towns in between the major three that had just the same beauty without the heavy traffic. We found a place called Praiano which was just delightful.

Then today, we had our first taste of Italian seafood in this beautiful beachside village called Falconara Marittima. It's about 5 minutes outside Ancona on the east coast, and it's such a gorgeous place for families. The boys had a swim in the pool before we ventured down to the foreshore for dinner.
