US Thanksgiving break is a popular time for visitors from the US to come to Italy and a lovely one for an Italy trip. Italy, of course, does not celebrate Thanksgiving, so you will not find here anything that is specific to the festivity.

    Essential travel guide to planning a stay in San Teodoro with kids: best thing to do, family friendly accommodation, best family friendly beaches in San Teodoro and why I consider it one of the best towns in Sardinia for families.
