The Italian coastline is not known for wild parties, so you can peacefully enjoy a quiet family vacation here. Tourists who have been here say that blonde women are better off not traveling alone. Not that there’s any real danger, but persistent attention from local men is almost guaranteed.
Another point: young female travelers should be cautious when shaking hands with Italian men. In their view, if a woman doesn’t pull her hand away at the touch, it may be seen as a sign of affection. So stay alert — friendly handshakes are clearly not the norm here.
It’s also important to be careful on the roads, as Italian drivers are known for being reckless. However, the locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, so you’re unlikely to face serious issues.
