Southern Italy Summer 2023
We did this tour from late May to early July. Roughly outlined, it almost went around the boot via Innsbruck, Verona, San Marino, Gargano, Bari, Lecce, Matera, Tropea, Paestum, Rome and Lake Garda. In total, we drove almost 5,700 km and visited 27 pitches and campsites in 46 days. We mostly found these via the park4 Night and ACSI app.

After we first looked at a parking space at Sepp's, which unfortunately did not correspond at all to the description in Park4 night, we drove to the mobile home parking space in Füssen. For €22/N without electricity, not exactly a snap, but it's quiet and there are plenty of shops (even if we don't need anything😏).
By the way, there is also a digital city tour for Füssen on the Lauschtour app.

Day 1
A nice little campsite with somewhat outdated but very clean sanitary facilities. With 2 people, dog and camper we paid 25 €/N without electricity (3 €).
From here we cycled to Innsbruck. The town of Hall is also worth a visit. The small town has a medieval, well-preserved character and can be reached on foot in just under 15 minutes from the CP.

On Pentecost Saturday there is the longest table in Tyrol - a folk festival with music, jugglers and lots of food and drink. The center is a long row of tables where people then sit.

Day 3
On the way we decided to look at Verona again and to spend a night there on the CP Verona.
In the app izi.travel there is an interesting city tour through Verona with all the main sights. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city attracts many visitors. It took us about 20 minutes by bike from the CP, although the route is quite chaotic. The bike lanes (if any) run back and forth and often against the direction of travel of the cars.

Very nice ACSI CP. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was only open from June 1st. The CP has many facilities for children.
A highlight on the CP are fireflies. They can be seen flying in the evenings in May/June. That brings back childhood memories. 🤗

Day 5
It takes a good half hour uphill from CP San Marino to the city center by bike. On the way you pass a free parking space directly at the valley station of the cable car.
Unfortunately, the parking space for bicycles in the village is very limited. After a long search we found a place. But you can also take the bus from the CP to the city.
On a tour of the city you can admire the three towers and the many small streets. We left out the Coin and Stamp Museum and the Vampire Museum.

After we drove to our old place at Capo Vieste and found that the audience there had hardly changed, but we were older, we went to the CP south of Vieste. We found it very good there.
The CP is in a bay and the site has shady pitches under pine trees. Pitches directly by the sea can only be booked for stays of 7 days or more. We paid 19€/N with ACSI.

The trulli round houses, built without mortar, are a must-see on a tour of Italy.
The small town of Alberobello includes an entire closed quarter, which is entirely built up with trulli. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The neighborhood is reminiscent of a fairy tale setting from a movie, with hundreds of white pointed-hat houses, with splashes of blue, green, and sand-colored pops of color. Some trulli are more than 300 years old. They protect you from the heat in summer and keep you warm in winter.
The place is an absolute tourist attraction, ie already in the preseason you fight your way through crowds. It is therefore definitely worth taking a tour around Alberobello. Here you can look at many trulli in peace. For us, this tour was the real highlight.

In Lecce itself you will be struck by baroque facades and a multitude of churches. To gain access, you usually have to book tickets online. We saved this because clerical pomp is not our thing. Nevertheless, we really liked the city. You should definitely plan a tour - if only because of the good ice cream 🍦.

Unfortunately, the church of Santa Annunziata, in which there is a floor mosaic worth seeing, was closed. We would have loved to see this. So it was only enough for a cappucino on the waterfront and a stroll through town.

Day 31
An ACSI place where we stayed for €22 including tourist tax. From here a stairway leads directly to the city center of Tropea. The beach in front of the CP is quite small and was paved over with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent during our stay.
The sea is a force, but many other people also appreciate it, so that there is quite a tourist hype.
From the port you can go to the Aeolian Islands. The trip to Stromboli was supposed to cost 60€/P, but according to our impression it was no more than a coffee trip. We then enjoyed the view of the volcano from the CP.

Tropea is one of the most beautiful places to swim in Calabria. The place itself is a typical Calabrian place with narrow streets and great vantage points of the adjacent sea.

Day 36
An absolute must for lovers of Greek and Roman culture and buildings. You should definitely take your time (and sun protection and enough water) for the cultural sites. We walked through the facility for over 2 hours and bought an information booklet at the entrance.
Another highlight of the area is the buffalo mozzarello. Corresponding farms can be visited in Paestum.

Of course, we promptly got hold of the one for tents and were allowed to leave again. We then saved ourselves the trip to second place and headed towards Rome. As we all know, all roads lead here.

Day 39
Already in 2008 we were on this square to visit Rome. At that time we took the train from the nearby train station to the city. This time we dared the trip by bike. A good undertaking in itself, once you have reached the cycle path along the Tiber. Until then, it's an adventure on highways.
In Rome itself you hardly meet any cyclists. Nevertheless, we found it very comfortable to cycle from sight to sight.
The CP has a swimming pool and very good sanitary facilities. We still got the last day of the ACSI discount - with 23 €/N plus visitor's tax a cheap stay.

One could now write endless essays about this great city. I think if you are planning a visit, you should inform yourself accordingly beforehand. We drove to the main sights and - as already described - explored them by bike. I would do this again and again, since it was very convenient not to have to walk far.
Oh yes, at the Trevi Fountain we ate 2 ice creams (one or 2 scoops each) for 16€. We then saved ourselves the obligatory coin toss in the fountain. 😉

We made a stopover in San Gimignano and treated ourselves to the famous ice cream for breakfast. When traveling to Tuscany, this place is an absolute must. This is also shown by the many groups of visitors who meander through the city with guidebooks.
By the way, we parked for free in a parking lot (see park4night). It was about a 10 minute walk uphill to downtown.

On the return trip we decided to go back to our surfing area at Lake Garda from the past days. We chose the Camper Stop Torbole as our pitch. Taking into account the development of the place and the well-known "Lake Garda bonus", the 38€/N was fine, even if it was the highest amount on our trip for an overnight stay.

Day 46
Summary of the trip:
It was a varied and highly interesting trip, with culture and sights in the foreground. Because of the weather and the on-site conditions (beaches and sea not comparable to Corsica or Sardinia), beach stays have only taken place occasionally. But this was also clear to us from the start and also not the goal of the trip
The road conditions in southern Italy were a drop of bitterness. The partly very small streets were mostly littered with holes and bumps. Combined with the inevitable increased attention for Italian drivers who want to overtake, the distances between our stops were a real challenge. Even the west coast of Corsica, on the other hand, was a coffee ride.
But that shouldn't deter you from making this trip. It was a great experience and places like Matera, Ostuni, Monteriggione, Polygnano, Paestum, Tropea, Lecce or or or... you don't forget so quickly.

In Lecce selbst wird man erschlagen von barocken Fassaden und eine Vielzahl von Kirchen. Für den Zutritt muss man meistens Eintrittskarten über das Internet buchen. Wir haben uns dies gespart, da klerikaler Prunk nicht so unsere Sache ist. Trotzdem hat uns die Stadt sehr gefallen. Einen Rundgang sollte man auf jeden Fall einplanen - schon alleine wegen des guten Eis 🍦.

After we first looked at a parking space at Sepp's, which unfortunately did not correspond at all to the description in Park4 night, we drove to the mobile home parking space in Füssen. For €22/N without electricity, not exactly a snap, but it's quiet and there are plenty of shops (even if we don't need anything😏).

From here we cycled to Innsbruck. The town of Hall is also worth a visit. The small town has a medieval, well-preserved character and can be reached on foot in just under 15 minutes from the CP.

On the way we decided to look at Verona again and to spend a night there on the CP Verona.
In the app izi.travel there is an interesting city tour through Verona with all the main sights. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city attracts many visitors. It took us about 20 minutes by bike from the CP, although the route is quite chaotic. The bike lanes (if any) run back and forth and often against the direction of travel of the cars.

It takes a good half hour uphill from CP San Marino to the city center by bike. On the way you pass a free parking space directly at the valley station of the cable car.
Unfortunately, the parking space for bicycles in the village is very limited. After a long search we found a place. But you can also take the bus from the CP to the city.
On a tour of the city you can admire the three towers and the many small streets. We left out the Coin and Stamp Museum and the Vampire Museum.

After we drove to our old place at Capo Vieste and found that the audience there had hardly changed, but we were older, we went to the CP south of Vieste. We found it very good there.
The CP is in a bay and the site has shady pitches under pine trees. Pitches directly by the sea can only be booked for stays of 7 days or more. We paid 19€/N with ACSI.

The trulli round houses, built without mortar, are a must-see on a tour of Italy.
The small town of Alberobello includes an entire closed quarter, which is entirely built up with trulli. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The neighborhood is reminiscent of a fairy tale setting from a movie, with hundreds of white pointed-hat houses, with splashes of blue, green, and sand-colored pops of color. Some trulli are more than 300 years old. They protect you from the heat in summer and keep you warm in winter.
The place is an absolute tourist attraction, ie already in the preseason you fight your way through crowds. It is therefore definitely worth taking a tour around Alberobello. Here you can look at many trulli in peace. For us, this tour was the real highlight.

Day 31
An ACSI place where we stayed for €22 including tourist tax. From here a stairway leads directly to the city center of Tropea. The beach in front of the CP is quite small and was paved over with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent during our stay.
The sea is a force, but many other people also appreciate it, so that there is quite a tourist hype.
From the port you can go to the Aeolian Islands. The trip to Stromboli was supposed to cost 60€/P, but according to our impression it was no more than a coffee trip. We then enjoyed the view of the volcano from the CP.

An absolute must for lovers of Greek and Roman culture and buildings. You should definitely take your time (and sun protection and enough water) for the cultural sites. We walked through the facility for over 2 hours and bought an information booklet at the entrance.
Another highlight of the area is the buffalo mozzarello. Corresponding farms can be visited in Paestum.

Of course, we promptly got hold of the one for tents and were allowed to leave again. We then saved ourselves the trip to second place and headed towards Rome. As we all know, all roads lead here.

Day 39
Already in 2008 we were on this square to visit Rome. At that time we took the train from the nearby train station to the city. This time we dared the trip by bike. A good undertaking in itself, once you have reached the cycle path along the Tiber. Until then, it's an adventure on highways.
In Rome itself you hardly meet any cyclists. Nevertheless, we found it very comfortable to cycle from sight to sight.
The CP has a swimming pool and very good sanitary facilities. We still got the last day of the ACSI discount - with 23 €/N plus visitor's tax a cheap stay.

One could now write endless essays about this great city. I think if you are planning a visit, you should inform yourself accordingly beforehand. We drove to the main sights and - as already described - explored them by bike. I would do this again and again, since it was very convenient not to have to walk far.
Oh yes, at the Trevi Fountain we ate 2 ice creams (one or 2 scoops each) for 16€. We then saved ourselves the obligatory coin toss in the fountain. 😉

On the return trip we decided to go back to our surfing area at Lake Garda from the past days. We chose the Camper Stop Torbole as our pitch. Taking into account the development of the place and the well-known "Lake Garda bonus", the 38€/N was fine, even if it was the highest amount on our trip for an overnight stay.

Day 46
Summary of the trip:
It was a varied and highly interesting trip, with culture and sights in the foreground. Because of the weather and the on-site conditions (beaches and sea not comparable to Corsica or Sardinia), beach stays have only taken place occasionally. But this was also clear to us from the start and also not the goal of the trip
The road conditions in southern Italy were a drop of bitterness. The partly very small streets were mostly littered with holes and bumps. Combined with the inevitable increased attention for Italian drivers who want to overtake, the distances between our stops were a real challenge. Even the west coast of Corsica, on the other hand, was a coffee ride.
But that shouldn't deter you from making this trip. It was a great experience and places like Matera, Ostuni, Monteriggione, Polygnano, Paestum, Tropea, Lecce or or or... you don't forget so quickly.
