Italy Grand Loop: Lakes to Sassi
Fifteen days from the Alpine lakes down to Matera's cave city — you'll drive most of it, with two short flights to swing by Sicily and dodge the long haul back north.
✅ Current month (May) is in this region's prime season. France/Italy/Spain/Greece: May-Jun & Sep-Oct ideal. Jul-Aug 35°C+ + tourist crowds + August closures.
