Naples and The Amalfi Coast

Naples beckons with its vibrant street life, rich history, and culinary delights. Delve into the archaeological treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum, marvel at masterpieces in the Naples National Archaeological Museum, and savor authentic Neapolitan pizza. Return to the coast to indulge in fresh seafood, take a boat trip to the island of Capri with its Blue Grotto, and unwind in this Mediterranean paradise. Just a short distance away, the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO-listed stretch of coastline in southern Italy, enchants visitors with its rugged cliffs, pastel-colored villages, and turquoise waters. Explore the picturesque town of Positano with its cascading streets, visit the historic Amalfi Cathedral in the town of Amalfi, and enjoy panoramic views from the terraced gardens of Ravello. 

Sicily & Capri

Italy's largest island, Sicily is a melting pot of cultures with Greek temples, Roman mosaics, and Baroque architecture dotting its landscape. Explore the ancient ruins of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, hike up Mount Etna - Europe's tallest active volcano, and wander through the charming streets of Taormina with its Greek amphitheater offering stunning views of the coast. Off the southern coast, the island of Capri captivates visitors with its rugged coastline, Blue Grotto sea cave, and upscale boutiques lining the streets of Capri Town, making Sicily and Capri a blend of history, natural beauty, and Mediterranean allure. 

Milan and Lakes Como & Garda

Italy's fashion and design capital, Milan dazzles visitors with its cosmopolitan atmosphere and historical landmarks.

Nearby, the Northern Lakes region offers scenic beauty with Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda providing opportunities for sailing, hiking, and exploring charming lakeside towns such as Bellagio and Sirmione.

Italy's Seasonal Highlights

Italy shines year-round, but the best time to visit is from April to June and September to October

During these months, the weather is mild and comfortable, ideal for exploring iconic cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as the picturesque countryside of Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast

The spring and fall offer a perfect balance of pleasant temperatures, blooming landscapes, and fewer crowds, allowing for more immersive experiences at historical sites, vineyards, and charming villages

While summer (July to August) brings vibrant festivals and beach days, it also attracts larger crowds and higher temperatures. For those seeking a quieter, more relaxed journey, the shoulder seasons are the optimal choice

During the summer months, daily flights connect all major Italian airports with the rest of Europe, offering a wonderful opportunity to combine Italy and another European country in the same journey

Getting There and Getting Around

Rome is the airport with the largest volume of international flights and being centrally located, it makes for a great arrival and departure airport
