ITALIAN ESCAPE
Overview
This all-Italian adventure swings you from this historic beauty of Rome through the home of pizza, Naples (where you can stop off in the perfectly preserved Roman town of Pompeii). Then, it’s all about living the good life on the Amalfi coast, sipping limoncello, and stopping off at picture perfect Positano (if you’re here in the summer) and Sorrento during those breezy winter months. Back in Rome you’ll get a chance to check out the Colosseum, before this unforgettable 6-day trip comes to an end.

Amalfi Coast
We’ve got a free day on the Amalfi coast! Lucky us. There are plenty of optionals today to keep us entertained, including a visit to a lemon farm, run by a local family whose ancestors introduced the crop and have been care takers of an age old tradition ever since. Here we learn how these huge, sunshine coloured fruits are harvested and turned into limoncello.
Positano
We’ll visit one of Amalfi’s spectacular jewels today. Dramatic cliffs and idyllic buildings await us in picturesque Positano.
