A Taste of Southern Italy

Pizza, history or beaches? With this route you don’t need to choose! Designed at a relaxed pace, it gives you the time and flexibility to enjoy unforgettable day trips and excursions as well as seeing the main sights of Rome, Sorrento & Naples.

Your trip will start in Rome, where you’ll begin enjoying la Dolce Vita. Why not rent a Vespa and ride through the cobbled streets of the capital, taking in iconic sights like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon? Toss a coin into the sparkling Trevi Fountain, wander through the Piazza Navona, and marvel at the grandeur of St. Peter’s.

After three incredible nights in Rome, make your way to the charming seaside town of Sorrento.

Sorrento will impress you with its colourful cliffside houses, fragrant lemon groves, and shimmering azure beaches. From here, you’ll have easy access to the dreamy Amalfi Coast, where each turn reveals breathtaking sea views and charming villages like Positano and Ravello — perfect for days filled with coastal charm and unforgettable scenery.

To end your trip, explore one of Europe’s oldest cities and the birthplace of pizza — Naples! With its Greek, Byzantine, and even Spanish influences, Naples has a rich cultural heritage that shines through its architecture and, of course, its cuisine. Spend your days wandering the lively streets of the historic centre or sampling authentic Neapolitan pizza fresh from a wood-fired oven.

For a change of scenery, take a day trip to the dramatic slopes of Mount Vesuvius, explore the ancient ruins of Pompeii, or sail across the bay to the glamorous island of Capri.

After experiencing Rome’s history, Sorrento’s coastal charm, and Naples’ vibrant energy, your journey comes to a close, leaving you with lasting memories of stunning Southern Italy!

Plan your escape to Southern Italy with this idyllic 10-day trip that capture the essence of la dolce vita! Your adventure starts in Rome, where you’ll walk the same streets that emperors once walked, streets that tell stories dating back millennia. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring Colosseum and make sure to toss a coin or two into the world-famous Trevi Fountain. The eternal city is the perfect introduction to your adventure into the soul of southern Italy. Once you’ve had time to admire the ancient ruins and the Roman sunsets while indulging in the delicious food and wine that Rome offers, start making your way down the coast.

After a train down to Naples for a quick taste of the city, you will board your ferry south towards the colourful cliffs of Sorrento as you watch the coastline unfold like a painting. Once in Sorrento, be delighted by the scent of lemon blossoms as you sunbathe in the azure bay. The three magical nights in the Sorrentine bay will give you time to explore further and discover the magical landscapes of Amalfi or the grand villas of Capri, so make sure to take some time off your sunbathing to explore the marvels of the famous Amalfi Coast or the Campanian Archipelago.

A ferry will carry you back across the bay to Naples, where Sorrento’s serene beaches and lemon groves give way to a city that throbs with raw, unfiltered energy. Here, impressive baroque churches rise above labyrinthine alleys, and ancient monuments stand as proud testaments to the rich and complex Neapolitan history. The city’s intoxicating bustle perfectly showcases the essence of Southern Italy’s culture: vibrant, colourful, loud, and deeply passionate. Don’t miss the chance to taste authentic Neapolitan pizza in its birthplace, where it has been perfected over generations in wood-fired ovens. Make sure to also visit the haunting ruins of Pompeii during an unforgettable day trip, where the entire Roman city lies frozen.
