Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive Furore (D)

Arrive in Furore at any time.

Day 2 Ravello (B,D)

Visit the city of Ravello, made famous by Wagner. This city of music is filled with galleries, churches and streets to explore. Enjoy some great Italian gelato and sit on a patio and watch the world go by.

Day 3 Land's End Walk (B,L,D)

Begin your scenic walk to Punta Campanella/Baia di Leranto. Sprinkle your full day of walking with plenty of opportunities to sample the delicious local cuisine. Even the most novice photographer can snap some amazing photos of this stunning coastline.

Day 4 Pompeii (B,D)

Visit the forgotten city of Pompeii. This city's ruins are famous for being 'frozen in time' from the eruption of nearby Mt. Vesuvius, which buried the city in ash around 79AD. Take a guided tour of the city after which there is plenty of free time to explore on your own.

Day 5 Walk of the Gods (B,L,D)

Hitting the Amalfi coast again, hike along ancient trails through the idyllic coastal towns of Positano and Praiano. The rough terrain makes this a challenging hike, but rewards you with spectacular scenery as you complete the Walk of the Gods.

Day 6 Grotto Di’smeraldo (B,L,D)

Enjoy more of the famous Italian landscapes as we walk through scenic olive groves and vineyards on our way to the Grotto Di’smeraldo. Free time to check out this fascinating cave and explore the surrounding area.

Day 7 Amalfi Coast (B,D)

Spend a final day enjoying the Amalfi region. There are plenty of options to choose from, including a visit to Capri, or renting a scooter and exploring the area local-style, before our final night in Furore.

Testimonial	"This tour is the best! The food and accomodations are incredible, staying in an old monastery on the side of the mountain looking down over the Amalfi Coast while eating the food and drinking the wine produced on site. Hikes are spectacular and visits to nearby towns and local sights really gave us a feel for life in Southern Italy. I could easily do this same tour again, although I suspect it might be filled up with all the friends I've recommended take it ASAP." - Dr. David G. Benner travelled on Amalfi Coast
