Guide to Travel Sites





As you are no doubt aware my site is focused on Italy and more specifically the Italian regions of Piedmont and le Marche.

I have however decided to put together a guide to travel sites that I have used in the past and which I have found useful.

First though check out my list of Best resource sites. These are the big boys on the net and the ones I find most useful.

Best Overall Travel Site

Perhaps the biggest on the net, Expedia is excellent. They have everything from City Breaks to Great Package Deals. HotelRoom.com is another good bet for hotels.

Best Italy Travel Guide

About.com definitely. If you are going to anywhere other than Piedmont, Marche or Sardinia then visit About. Martha Bakerjian has really done a great job of putting together all the info you need for a great holiday in Italy. Whatever you need you will find it here.

My Best Niche Travel Site Selection

For information and places to stay in the gorgeous region of Abruzzo I would suggest you visit this site

One of my favorites that I have always found helpful when getting inspiration for that next vacation is World Travel Options - they always seem to have a few ideas that I would never have thought of.

For those of you who don’t live in Europe the Discover European Charm site is good. It is particularly ideal if you are traveling to Europe for the first time.

If you want to attend some great festivals while in Europe - or elsewhere I suggest you visit Festivalpig.com. FestivalPig has been to the world’s greatest festivals and has photos, secret tips and all the details you want. Getaway inspiration Guaranteed"

Another good site is:

Coolest Places To Visit: Discover the coolest places to visit in the world and what to do when you get there!

In the USA I love California, the east coast from New York up to Maine, Virginia and the Grand Canyon.

If you are taking the family to Virginia you will find all the info you need - Money-saving tips, reviews, discount tickets, and "inside" info on Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, and beyond on Virginia Beach Family Fun .

Italian foods and recipes are an important part of my site. In Italy eating together round the table with the family is one of the most important family bonds.

A site that is trying to make this a possibility in English speaking countries - and doing a good job of it - is the site Italian Pasta Recipes by Italians.

Keeping on the subject of food and well worth a visit is the Vagabond Gourmet site.

Back to great places to visit and this personal, local view of the beautiful island of Anglesey. is inspiring. You can now fly to Anglesey and enjoy beautiful sea views, fine beaches,coastal walks and other attractions. You can also sail over to Dublin on the ferry from Holyhead.

My site has a fair bit about the best beaches in Sardinia and the best beaches in le Marche but if you are going further afield in search of magnificent beaches, I would suggest this comprehensive guide covering Boracay Island Philippines . A wealth of essential information provides readers all they need to know about Boracay, one of the world's best beaches!

Goa is another place with wonderful beaches and this is the best guide around about Goa Goa India, Goa Holidays and Goa Hotels - Essential free guide for Goa Holidays. Everything you need to know for a great holidays in Goa. Explore its Beaches, Hotels, Resorts, Villas, Flights, Properties & More.

In Europe the Algarve is full of stunning beaches, beautiful historic towns and villages with great food. Check this site out for the perfect Algarve holiday

One of my favourite places in the UK is the Isle of Wight. I can still clearly remember my first trip to this delightful Island when I was around sixteen years old.

If you would like to find out more then the Isle of Wight tourist guide caters for all your accommodation needs on the Isle of Wight. It is a holiday guide for hotels and tourist information.

While on the subject of islands why not discover the beautiful island of Cyprus with Cyprus Travel Secrets. For the best deals around AnAmazingTravel is a good bet. They are a full service travel company online. They offer Worldwide air tickets, hotels, cruises and vacation packages, selected and unique vacations in Europe, weekends and holiday specials, best value packages and discount vacations. Really worth a visit.

Getting back to the UK - have you ever been to Cheshire? It is indeed a lovely region of the UK. The Cheshire tourist guide caters for all the tourist needs in Cheshire. It is an extensive guide for all tourism and leisure activities - well worth a visit.
