You can't throw a meatball in Venice without hitting several dozen of the 60K tourists swarming the city every day in summer. So in honor of the @belmondhotelcipriani’s 60th anniversary this year, the hotel is curating some Venetian experiences that can be enjoyed unobstructed by hordes of selfie sticks. (pics 1-2/6) . The first is a climb to the top of the 15th century building with a 28-metres-high spiraling staircase, known as Scala Contarini del Bovolo (meaning “snail” in Venetian dialect). It offers incredible views of the city’s rooftops, without another soul in sight. (pic 2/6) . A second allows guests to channel their inner opera diva aboard the Edipo Re, which famously served as a safe haven for its owner, director Pier Paolo Pasolini, and the soprano, Maria Callas, while the two collaborated on the 1969 film, Medea. (pics 3-4/6) . The hotel also organizes tours of Torcello Island, home to only 100 people, which makes for a far more serene sightseeing experience than its well-trodden neighbor. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta which houses Venice’s earliest remaining Byzantine-era mosaics, is Torcello’s main attraction. (pic 6/6) .

@lemammedelborgo, a collective of Sicilian mothers, are saving their small hilltop village, one home-cooked meal at a time. The collective formed in 2014 as a way to combat population decline, but has turned into one of the most unique culinary experiences in Sicily. Every Sunday through summer, the “mamas” open their doors, and kitchens, for tourists to try traditional Sicilian dishes. Macaroni is offered at one mama’s house, fried arancini at another’s. Guests make their way through the narrow streets of Motta Camastra from one home to the next. With up to 12 mamas cooking each Sunday, it’s important to take a favorite motto of the mamas seriously: arrive with open arms and empty bellies.
