Amalfi Coast and More

Itinerary

Days 1-2 Rome

Feel the history while exploring the ancient streets of Rome - there's something to see around every corner. Walk beneath the arches of the Colosseum, marvel at the mighty Pantheon or discover the many pretty fountains and piazzas that dot this marvellous city.

Day 3 Naples

The Phoenicians, Venetians, Africans and, of course, Romans have all left their mark on this compelling port city. Take the afternoon to explore the beautiful churches and museums to get a taste of Naples' fascinating past. There is also plenty of time to discover the city's modern side: wander through the heaving street markets and sample some world-famous Neopolitan pizza - the original, and some claim, the best.

Days 4-5 Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius

The ruins of Pompeii capture a single moment in time - the day the entire city was destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption 1928 years ago. The town's remains lay covered in ash until its re-discovery in the 18th century. Wander through these amazing ruins before trekking up the sleeping giant of Mount Vesuvius, for a truly awe-inspiring insight into the power of nature.

Days 6-9 Amalfi Coast

Enjoy rocky coastlines, azure seas and clear blue skies from the picture-perfect town of Sorrento. This has been a favourite tourist destination for at least 200 years and it's easy to see why. Walk along the 'Footpath of the Gods' for breathtaking views, and perhaps take a ferry to the Isle of Capri to listen out for the songs of the mythical Sirens. There is plenty of free time to relax in a sidewalk cafe and soak up the lazy atmosphere of the famed Amalfi Coast.
