Hidden gem destinations in Italy and Croatia

In the ever-charming Bay of Naples and along Croatia’s beguiling Dalmatian Coast, the beauty of the views out to sea is matched by the plethora of picturesque sights you’ll see on land. Concealed coves, small coastal towns and villages, exquisite national parks and near-deserted beaches are just some of the hidden gems you’ll uncover.
