                                       DUNCAN GARWOOD,
                                       WRITER
                                       With its plunging cliffs, shimmering
                                       azure waters and picture-book
                                       villages, Italy’s most celebrated
                                       coastline lives up to expectations

                                       in spectacular style. The scenery
                                       is amazing and its vivid colours are
                                       brilliant in the sharp Mediterranean
                                       sunlight. Most attention is focussed
                                       on the seafront hotspots, but you
                                       can always escape the clamour by
                                       heading into the hills to take on
                                       some of Italy’s most jaw-dropping
                                       hikes.
