Highlights of the Beautiful Amalfi Coast

Day 1 - UK - Naples - Sorrento Peninsula

Our nationwide shared chauffeur service collects you from home for your flight to Naples. On arrival, we’ll transfer to our base for the week in SantʼAgata sui Due Golfi, nestled in the middle of the Sorrento Peninsula.

Day 2 - Sorrento

Sorrento is a labyrinth of cobbled streets dotted with limoncello stands, gelato shops and lively street vendors. We’ll explore with a local guide, taking in highlights such as the greenery-draped 14th-century monastery, Chiostro di San Francesco. Soak up the sea views from Sorrento Park - with views of Mount Vesuvius in the distance.

Day 3 - Pompeii

Explore the archaeological ruins of Pompeii today. This Roman resort town lay buried in AD 79 after a sudden, massive eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Most locals could not escape, and thick layers of ash and lava preserved many details of day-to-day life. The guided walking tour offers a clear glimpse into the lifestyle of this once-thriving town. Household items remain on display as they did hundreds of years ago, providing insight into ancient Roman customs, art and trades. Even the walls, marked with shop signs and electoral graffiti, remain compelling.

Day 4 - Amalfi Coast

Brace yourself for one of the world’s most spectacular and famous drives. Italy's Amalfi Coast is a 50km stretch of stunning coastline that winds its way along the Sorrentine Peninsula from Sorrento to Salerno. Soak up the breathtaking seascapes at every twist and turn - you’ll want to keep your camera at the ready for this. Our first stop is pretty Positano, awash with pastel-painted houses clinging to the cliff edge. From here, we’ll take to the water and speed over to iconic Amalfi by boat, so you’ll have the added bonus of seeing the coastline from the sea. Later, we’ll return to Sorrento by boat.

Day 5 - Sorrento Peninsula

Today is at leisure to explore SantʼAgata sui Due Golfi or take the hotel shuttle (extra charge), or the local bus to Sorrento. Or you can join an optional excursion to mighty Mount Vesuvius to learn about the history and geology of this restless mountain. After, you’ll stop for a leisurely wine tasting and light lunch at a winery on the fertile slopes of the volcano. This famous Neapolitan wine, Lacrima Christi (tears of Christ), is grown right here giving the grapes a unique flavour.

Day 6 - Capri

We’ll journey to the ‘jewel of the Bay of Naples’ - the idyllic island of Capri. As we approach by private boat, you’ll see the island’s famed limestone cliffs soaring from the sparkling blue water. Take in the sights of the island from the water on a private guided boat tour. Accompanied by local Capri guide, we’ll then travel up to Capri town via funicular to take in the sights of this beautiful town.

Day 7 - Sorrento Peninsula

Spend your final day at leisure. This evening we’ll head into Sorrento to enjoy a traditional farewell dinner together at a local restaurant on Sorrento Pier. The beautiful views across the sea will only enhance Sorrento’s renowned sunsets.

Day 8 - Sorrento Peninsula - Naples - UK
