Join Becky Rushton for a presentation exploring the hidden gems of Southern Italy.  This journey summarizes a trip that traversed eastern Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, Calabria, and Puglia.  The trip included ancient ruins set against breathtaking mountain landscapes, small medieval villages along the stunning coastline, and the natural wonders of this remarkable region.  Sights included villages steeped in history, charming harbors lined with fishing boats and ferries, and the lush landscapes of olive groves, vineyards, and caper fields.  Becky’s overview will showcase the natural beauty and rich heritage of these lesser-known regions, offering a glimpse into the heart of Southern Italy.
