This morning we drive to Amalfi, one of the most famous coastlines on earth.
Along the way, we’ll stop in Pompeii! Imagine, a city perfectly preserved as it was on that fateful day 2,000 years ago, when ash and lava literally stopped it in its tracks. You’ll see the tragic fossils of people attempting to escape along with children and dogs.
Next we’ll settle into our home in Amalfi at the historic Hotel Luna Convento. She’s a 12th century convent converted into a charming first class hotel overlooking the sea.
Tonight, dinner at our hotel with great local wines.

What better way to visit the splendid towns of the Amalfi Coast than by sea!

From Positano we sail to Sorrento, another gem in the Gulf of Naples with great views of the mighty volcano, Mt. Vesuvius. In Sorrento we’ll enjoy lunch featuring the fresh specialties of the Campania region. We’ll drive back to Amalfi for your free night in this Mediterranean paradise.

Day 7 (Thursday) - Amalfi, Cilento, Paestum, Mozzarella & Vineyard Factory Tours, Lunch, Amalfi
With its gleaming white marble temples, set against the silver mountains and deep blue sea, Paestum (pronounced pay’-stum) provides a uniquely Greek experience in Italy. Our expert local guide will relive the amazing history of this seaside village.
Everyone loves Mozzarella! We’ll learn that the “real thing” comes from the Water Buffalo and freshness is measured in minutes and hours, rather than days. You’ll be an expert after your tour of a real Mozzarella factory.
Next we’ll visit a local winery for an informative tour and tasting. Finally, we’ll enjoy a typical Neapolitan style lunch with fine local wines.
The balance of this afternoon and evening are free to relax, explore Amalfi or take a dip in the water.
