There have been comments about hassle, prostitution etc. How prevalent is this? Would you say these areas are suitable for a family with girls?

One of my favourite places in Italy (and the world). Lots to see and do in the city and nearby. Best food in Italy too IMO.Bologna for a few days, hoping for some good Italian grub.

I went with my wife in 2014 and it was brilliant. We went over to Senegal for a safari and overall it was just completely different and a great experience. However, as you'd expect, the locals see you as a walking chequebook and will do everything they can to try and get some money from you. They're lovely, persistent, but lovely! Everyone is a tour guide if you want to believe them - they can take you any place you want to go!
If you're going as a family with young girls see if you can get a hotel where the beach is private and you have less of an issue with locals coming off the beach and trying to make money. Where I stayed on the coast they could wander in, but as a couple it wasn't too much of an issue.
It's quite funny really with them all trying to make a buck. Even the fella making the omelette's in the hotel could take me on a safari in the afternoon if I'd wanted it! Brushing their teeth with sticks but all had mobile phones!
I'm going back 10 years though and they've had some political trouble in the interim, although it's stable again now. Just do your research and go with organised tours if you go out and about. They keep everyone else at bay!
Ha I was thinking of doing a bit of both.Pick your poison…West Coast or East Coast?

Need to do more research on the distances.
