Day 3
Rome Naples Pompeii Amalfi
Departing Rome for the coast, reflect on the vibrant city of Naples – despite its place in the shadow of Vesuvius – or maybe because of it –people have been drawn here for millennia. You’ll join our expert guide on a walking tour of Naples’ historical centre, admiring the Piazza del Plebiscito, the Royal Palace, the Gallery of Umberto I and the San Carlo Opera House. Leaving Naples, we’ll lunch in a local restaurant and glimpse the ancient art of making cameos. There may be no place on earth that brings forth more images and emotions than our next stop, Pompeii. Wandering among the ancient shops, marveling at the richly decorated homes you are treated to a perfect picture of life as it was 2000 years ago. Tables set for breakfast, bread still in the oven — it’s impossible to glance up at the mountain and not feel a connection with the people of this ancient town on that fateful day it awoke… August 24, 79 A.D travel along the coast to the seaside resort town of Amalfi, perched on a cliff and affording some of the most spectacular views anywhere. Wander the narrow streets, enjoy the local limoncello as you watch the setting sun – maybe the perfect way to end the day.(B,L,D)

Day 4
Amalfi
Today is yours — discover the beauty of this wonderful coastal village or explore the surrounding area, it’s up to you. You can take the hotel’s shuttle to its private beach and plunge into the Mediterranean; you may choose to visit the city centre and tour the Cathedral of Saint Andrew or the “Cloisters of Paradise” — shopping is always a pleasant diversion (the city is famous for its handmade paper), especially when combined with a lunch of the freshest seafood. It is also possible to arrange optional excursions in the area and visit nearby Ravello or Positano. Enjoy the town tonight, you’ll sleep here.(B,D)

Day 5
