Italy Hotels and Resorts - a peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea. Its most prominent feature is its boot-like shape kicking the island of Sicily.Much of Italy is covered by mountains. The Dolomite mountains which extend across northern Italy are part of the Alps mountain range. The Apennine mountains cut down the center of Italy,stretching from north to south, dividing the east and west coasts.

Italy has many internationally known tourist areas. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is easily identified. The marble tower was built over 800 years ago, but on soft ground. Shortly after it was built, it began to tilt. It now leans by over over 16 feet. Venice is also a very popular tourist area. It is best known as the city built on water. It is famous for its canals and gondolas used as transportation around the city.
