DAY 1

We meet you at Naples Capodichino Airport and transfer you (90 minutes) to your comfortable hotel in Amalfi. After settling in, you might wish to stroll through town before dinner.
Hotel Luna Convento, Amalfi

DAY 2

This morning starts with s short bus ride to Ravello (20 minutes), where there is time to explore the town, graced with exotic formal gardens of Villas Rufolo and Cimbrone. The walking route descends through citrus groves to Torre dello Ziro, (the Saracen watchtower inspired Webster’s Duchess of Malfi), then continues along panoramic terraces, to enter the Valley of the Mills (a testament to Amalfi’s medieval paper industry). Emerging from the verdant gorge, the ceramic tiled roofs of Amalfi come into view as you enter the town.
Hotel Luna Convento, Amalfi

DAY 3

Today’s walk takes you along the Pathway of the Gods, the region’s most famous walk, offering views over the entire peninsula, with Capri’s famous Faraglioni cliffs marking land’s end. Continuing onwards past lemon groves and brigand’s treasure troves to Nocelle, there are many tempting trattorie beckoning for a lunch break. Once refueled, you continue down through lush terraces to the chic pastel town of Positano and your hotel in the historic center.
Hotel Royal Prisco, Positano

DAY 4

Positano’s wide, black-sand beach is perfect for a lazy day, but if you prefer to explore farther afield there is a pleasant walk to Fornillo Bay, distinguished by its twin Saracen watchtowers. Boat trips to discover coral-lined sea grottoes are available in the harbor.
Hotel Royal Prisco, Positano

DAY 5

We transfer you (30 minutes) to the hills near Fontanelle, where you wind through olive trees as you climb gently to Sant’Agata. Balcony views over Vesuvius and the Gulf of Salerno (and lovely picnic spots) are your reward. After a leisurely lunch you continue along a paved lane that leads past geranium-decked houses to Marina del Cantone and your hotel.
Hotel La Conca del Sogno, Marina del Cantone

DAY 6

In a quiet bay more accessible by foot or boat than by car, you’ll be tempted to linger at your hotel with sun terrace and direct access to the sea. But it’s a shame to miss out on Capri, arguably the Mediterranean’s most beautiful island. You may take the local bus (or taxi) to Sorrento and pick up the hydrofoil for a day-long exploration.
Hotel La Conca del Sogno, Marina del Cantone

DAY 7

We provide a transfer to Termini (20 minutes), or those who prefer can climb on foot to the trail head, from where you wind though olive groves with views that continue to widen over the Bay of Naples and its islands, Capri, Ischia, and Procida. It’s well worth the detour to lovely little Annunziata to visit the pretty Aragonese castle. After taking in some more wonderful views, you continue on to Punta Capo for an unforgettable panorama over both Vesuvius and the pastel-colored houses of Sorrento.
Grand Hotel La Favorita, Sorrento

DAY 8

Based at your hotel with its unrivalled position overlooking Sorrento’s harbor, you’re ideally placed to visit Naples or one of its islands by hydrofoil. Alternatively, the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum can both be visited using the excellent local circumvesuviana railway.
Grand Hotel La Favorita, Sorrento

DAY 9

You bid farewell to Sorrento this morning and transfer back to Naples Capodichino Airport for your trip home or to continue your Italian adventure.
