I am very pleased to bring you the ultimate
Southern Italy / Amalfi coast trip that will take you to some
of the most romantic and enchanting spots. We've done this
trip many times now and I'm sure it will certainly be a trip that
you will 
never
forget. The trip was perfect so we are making very few changes.
We will depart the US on October
15th and arrive in Naples the next day. We start this tour off
with 5 relaxing nights in Sorrento. I say relaxing because
some of our Europe trips have been somewhat busy and rushed. This
trip will offer plenty of time to explore in smaller groups and
at your own pace.
Our first stop is Sorrento on
the Amalfi Coast. Sorrento has no major tourist attractions per
se, only the town itself with its enchanting palazzi and charming
historic quarter. With convenient access to trains, buses and
ferries Sorrento is also a perfect base for visiting this region.
Set high atop a bluff on the peninsula it has a stunning view
of the Bay of Naples. There are fabulous restaurants and nightlife
as well as charming streets where you can shop and browse. Its
streets seem like 19th-century sepia photographs with ruins of
the Roman Empire strewn about and Vesuvius looming in the distance.
As a hub for a banquet of must-see sites - Pompeii and Naples
to the north and Amalfi Coast to the south - Sorrento is unequaled.
The Sorrento peninsula also offers the best beaches and restaurants.
We'll have 5 full days to enjoy
mostly included tours one of which will be hired vans for a full
day tour of the Amalfi Coast. This will make it easy for us to
visit some of the other quaint villages nestled in the hillsides
along the Amalfi
coast
at our own pace. It's a spectacular ride that takes 
you
along the sea as the road wiggles in and out hundreds of feet
above the water. This road was completed in 1852 and is a seemingly
improbably engineering feat. Gorgeous vistas appear along these
almost 25 miles stretching from Sorrento to Vietri. Some of the
notable towns on the drive include the nearby
Positano, that's
built like a steep amphitheatre this town's only job is to look
enchanting. Offering a dazzling layer cake of civilizations this
medieval city is so
picturesque it will practically click your camera for you.
We almost booked our group to stay here rather than Sorrento but
there isn't enough to do and Sorrento was much more convenient.
Vettica Maggiore with it's priceless panorama from the seaside
piazza and church; Conca Dei Marini, retreat of the rich and famous
with its villas and churches; Atrani, lined with piggy-backed
houses and corkscrew staircases this medieval town revolves around
a picture-perfect piazza; Amalfi, the largest town and must-do
because of its spectacular cathedral and impossibly romantic souk-like
streets; and Cetara
with it's waterfront cafes. Unbelievably scenic.
Another included tour will include
wonderful day tour out to the island of Procida. Then, one of
the optional tours you may be interested in would be to see the
Amalfi Coast by sea. In the past we've hired beautiful wooden
boats to take us for the day. This might be best set up while
we're there however to make sure the sea is calm.
After our 5-nights in this fascinating
city we will hop aboard a ferry that will whisk us off to the
enchanting island of Capri where we will spend the next 4-nights.
Capri
is a balmy and palmy never-never land
that has been the darling of tourism for 2,500 years. It's incomparable
views and natural wonders - I Faraglioni and the Blue Grotto are
just two of the not-to-be-missed sites on this fabled isle. With
3 full days here we'll have ample time to enjoy everything that
this charming island has to offer. Pleasure dome to Roman emperors,
and still Italy's most glamorous seaside getaway, this craggy,
whale-shaped island has an epic beauty - cliffs that are the very
embodiment
of time, bougainvillea-shaded pathways overlooking the sea, trees
seemingly hewn out of rock by the Greeks. Capri has always been
a stage that lesser mortals could share with the Beautiful People.
Visiting in the fall will be the ultimate time as the summer time
brings huge crowds. The town itself is a Moorish stage set of
sparkling white houses, tiny squares, and narrow medieval alleyways
hung with flowers, while it's hillsides are spectacular settings
for luxurious seaside villas.
Capri became the centre of power
in the Roman Empire when Tiberius scattered 12 villas around the
island and decided to spend the rest of his life here. This misunderstood
gentleman used Capri as a base to run
the ancient Roman Empire.
Our hotel is right in the center
of Capri Town giving us full access to the shopping and amazing
restaurants on the hill. Another included tour will be a complete
tour of Capri including a visit to the famous Blue
Groto,(weather permitting) Arco
Naturale,
Faraglioni, three pale-ocher limestone colossi that loom out
of the sea soaring 350 feet above the 
water,
and Certosa
di San Giacomo, a grand, palatial complex that was for centuries
a Carthusian monastery just recently re-opened after a major renovation.
You will also enjoy some great
down time here where you might enjoy strolling the town.
Finally, we're capping off our
trip with 1 night in Rome where you'll have enough time to visit
either the Vatican or the Colusseum.
It’s another
incredible singles travel adventure.
