In Brief

Yescapa platform selected five mythical coastal routes in Italy, PleinAir magazine published a guide to Sicily with eight itineraries, and industry data confirms growing popularity of campervans among young people and families

Campervan travel is growing in popularity in Italy: it is chosen not only by families and retirees, but also by young couples and groups of friends. The number of rental points, parking areas and campsites has increased, especially in natural and coastal zones. When rented together, a campervan can be cheaper than a hotel, especially in places with high summer prices. It is recommended to book parking spots in advance, avoid August and choose simple routes for beginners.

Mythical routes

Campervan carsharing platform Yescapa selected five routes along the Italian coast linked to local legends. The list includes:

  • Cala Luna in Sardinia (associated with pirate Dragut)
  • Strait of Capo Peloro in Sicily (myth of fisherman Colapesce)
  • Castro in Apulia (Cinzulusa cave)
  • Tellaro in Liguria (story of rescue by an octopus)
  • Sirolo on the Adriatic (legend of a siren)

Guide to Sicily

PleinAir magazine released a guide "Sicilia in camper" with eight itineraries for campervan travel. The publication recommends planning the trip off-season to avoid crowds. The guide includes parking spots, attractions and lesser-known sites. Routes cover Mount Etna, Marsala salt pans, monuments of Magna Graecia and the Apennines.

Fratelli d’Italia councilors Alex Cioni and Gianmario Munari filed three inquiries to the mayor, noting that social services were unaware of seven minors in these families, and the school service had not verified their attendance.
