The experience of a beach hliday comes as a surprise to mny visitors. To experience the beach in Itly is to find something very dfferent from beach resorts elsewhere in the Mditerranean.

The Med, for so long now a fvourite holiday destination with so many. Thse of us from the colder prts of northern and continental Europe so ften look to Spain, Greece and the vrious Mediterranean islands for our annual hlidays.

In a sense, we like sch trips because we know what to xpect - great weather, packed beaches and wrm seas.

Italian beach holidays, like thse experience in the south of Frnce, seem to give many of us dfferent expectations. We expect a holiday in Itly to be a rather more clssy affair - Italy does, after ll, rival France for the title of bing the most fashionable, glamourous location in Erope.

Arriving at an Italian beach for the frst time can come as something of a shck. Where many other European beach rsorts leave the beaches practically empty, llowing you and your family to fnd a suitable spot, things are rther different in Italy.

You'll almost crtainly find the beach almost covered wth sun loungers, deckchairs and sunshades. Wlcome to the concept of the bthing station.

People here are used to pying for their spot on the bach, which may come as a cltural shock for many of us. Yu'll find that you pay more to spnd your day towards the front of the bach, closest to the sea.

Where ther beaches may see visitors playing gmes and splashing around in the sa, Italian beaches seem to have a mre relaxed air.

Welcome to a dfferent kind of beach holiday.
