Tour Overview
The real beginnings of southern Italy are found in this sought-after region of natural and historic delights, which the Romans rightly named the 'happy land' (felix ager). Home to the legendary pizza, the fascinating city of Naples is close to the stunning sites of Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii. Across the Sorrento Peninsula is the Amalfi Coast, one of the most dramatic and beautiful coastlines in Europe, with its towering cliffs, picturesque coves and delightful towns. From our comfortable family-run hotel on the beach of Marina del Cantone, we can easily visit the famous island of Capri. There is, of course, plenty of time to sample the wonderful food and enjoy the Mediterranean climate by the beach.
