Italy has long been considered the birthplace of the arts, with the heart of the Renaissance period focused within its own borders after the lack of artistic and social progression during the Dark Ages. Today thousands of years of art, history, and performance can all be seen in one of the city’s most exquisite cities, the seaside mecca of Naples. This city, filled with palacial spaces, galleries, record-breaking opera houses, and fantastic museums, are only a small part of what makes this city a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast ExperienceWhen you reach Pompeii, your private, local licensed guide will take you on a fascinating two-hour tour through this amazing place. Once a thriving empire, the city of Pompeii had about 20,000 inhabitants in 79 AD, when it was completely covered in 30 feet of volcanic ash by the deadly eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Next you will reach the town of Sorrento, where you will experience spectacular views of the entire bay of Naples and the Island of Capri as the Amalfi coast road emerges from over the mountain cliff. |

Wine Tasting In AvellinoAvellino is the land of great noble wines.

This tour allows access to the main wine cellars where three of them are created. They are cool climate wines in a hot climate region.

Visit the Island Of CapriWith great anticipation, you will meet your guide at the port of Naples after disembarking your ship. The guide will bring you to the hydrofoil which will take you to the magical island of Capri. There are several different directions of interest on the island and your guide will help you determine which will be most inspiring to you. You may want to visit the Gardens of Caesar Augustus or to the Punta Tragara, both very easy walks. The second option takes you to Villa San Michele, the charming former home of Swedish doctor and philanthropist Axel Munthe (1857-1949) that Henry James called “the most fantastic beauty, poetry, and inutility that one had ever seen clustered together.” |
