BEACHCLUB Traditionally this is where the Italians themselves holiday when choosing a staycation, and it’s not hard to see why. Warm (sometimes very warm) sunny weather, picturesque countryside, turquoise warm Ionian waters coupled with all that’s authentically Italian make it a pleasant spot for anyone’s holibobs. Neilson Airone Beachclub Neilson’s newly opened Airone Beachclub nestles on the Gulf of Taranto shores and boasts an extensive stretch of fine golden sand in both directions. Flanked either side by mountainous vistas it’s a ‘roomy’ resort with plenty of space to breathe, kick back and relax. ‘Life’ can be found in the many surrounding hamlets and villages as well as the ancient Greek colony towns of Sibaris and Thurli. And for those with a penchant for aniseed tasting black stuff the medieval village of Rossano (a 30-minute drive away) is famous for producing liquorice. It even has its own liquorice museum! 29 s t a n d u p p a d d l e m a g u k
