Suggested arrival in Naples. Alternatively you can arrive in Rome and begins this tour from there.
Starting from either Rome or Naples stop in Pompei and visit one of the most incredible historical sites in the world.

Tonight you can have a nice dinner in a local restaurant in the heart of Sorrento.
Overnight in Sorrento.

Today, suggested visit of Capri with guide. Capri is an enchanting and picturesque island made of limestone rock. A “paradise of idleness” surrounded by the bluest of seas; the dramatically beautiful, flower-covered Island of Capri has been enchanting vis- itors for centuries.
Return to Sorrento late afternoon. Overnight in Sorrento.

DAY 3 -FREE DAY-

Sorrento is an ideal location to discover the beauties of the region. Your tour host will provide you with a wide range of opportunities or you may reserve your excursion in advance via your travel agent. Overnight in Sorrento.

DAY 4 – THURSDAY-AMALFI DRIVE

Today enjoy the visit of one of the most intriguing coastline in the world. Amalfi, Positano, Minori, Vietri... The small houses all huddling on top of each other, the breathtaking cliffs, the lemon and olive trees, the small beaches, the Saracen and medieval watch towers, the narrow roads make of this place a unique in the world, so precious to be listed in the UNESCO World Heritage. Enjoy the magnificent view of Amalfi Gulf from a relaxing terrace, where you will pick up you own lemons from a lemon tree an prepare a cold lemonade. Return to Sorrento. I suggest a farewell dinner served in a panoramic restaurant on the hills of Sorrento.
