Naples, Capri, Herculaneum and Pompeii: Italian charm

Naples, Capri, Herculaneum and Pompeii: Italian charm

Description

Three days in Sorrento and three in Naples with accommodation in a 4-star hotel in the heart of the historic centre, in a double room with breakfast included.

This is a tour to get to know the Amalfi Coast, a synthesis of Italian charm: sea, nature and art that come together in a constellation of enchanting locations including Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, Praiano and Vietri sul Mare.

For those who love archaeology and history, Pompeii and Herculaneum are just around the corner.

And what about the islands of Procida and Capri, an icon of beauty and glamour in the world, with its famous Piazzetta and fashionable clubs.

However, the essence of the place cannot be captured without spending another three days in Naples: a city of infinite history, from the Roman houses that you visit underground to the medieval castles and churches of the most sumptuous Baroque.

Naples captivates with its street life featuring food, music and culture in a joyful atmosphere that is unparalleled in Europe.

This is a holiday steeped in beauty, ideal for couples.

The route is the one used over the centuries by navigators along the Amalfi Coast to reach Capri, the island already chosen by Roman emperors as a place of beauty.

Sail the crystal-clear waters in the clear early morning light and be enchanted by the Blue Island, also called the Island of Love.

If the weather conditions are favourable, hop on a small boat to the Blue Grotto and be enchanted by the silvery blue reflections filtering through the partially submerged entrance.

With local transport on the island, continue the journey to Anacapri, with its more intimate and unspoilt nature, with the Villa San Michele and the chairlift that, from the top of Monte Solaro, offers a breathtaking view of the place.

End the day along the cobbled streets of Capri, in its 'Piazzetta', a glamorous icon in the world. Venture into the narrow streets and fashionable boutiques beloved by timeless celebrities like Jackie Kennedy and Rita Hayworth.

Between unforgettable moments and views, stop off at one of the island's many restaurants, then continue the walk with the enchantment of the Faraglioni, 'the guardians of Capri', framing a perfect day. In the evening, return to the hotel in Sorrento.
