Across the Apennines to the ‘Trulli’ Town of Alberobello
 
Head south, through sun-baked landscapes to the region of Puglia & it's most spectacular trulli town, Alberobello.

{tab Day 3}

Exploring Alberobello
 
Alberobello is a UNESCO World Heritage site - its narrow streets crowded with conical, white-washed trulli, clustered together like mushrooms, constructed entirely without mortar. This region is a paradise for wine-lovers so join an expert vintner with a tasting of Puglia's most robust & structured reds wines - as rich & complex as anything you'll find in Tuscany! The rest of the day is free to explore at your own pace. Don't miss the opportunity this evening to break bread with your friends over a delicious dinner typical of the region.

 

{tab Day 4}
Free Time in Alberobello
 
(Relaxed Start) The day is free for you to enjoy this extraordinary town further. Why not enjoy an optional experience to the stunning city of Ostuni? With its dazzling white-washed houses & fascinating history, it is a true delight.

{tab Day 5}


The Sassi di Matera & Sorrento
 
(Relaxed Start) Visit Matera with a Local Expert for an in-depth exploration of the extraordinary ‘Sassi' - a labyrinth of cave dwellings, churches, staircases & arches, hewn out of the solid rock. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mel Gibson chose Matera as the biblical backdrop for his film 'The Passion of the Christ'. Rolling green hills & wide mountain views pave the way, as you head towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. Take the dramatic coast road to the lively clifftop resort of Sorrento. In the evening, choose your own menu, style & ambience from a handpicked selection of local restaurants.

 

{tab Day 6}

 

Capri, The Isle of Dreams
 
Board the ferry to the sun-drenched island of Capri. Arrive at Marina Grande & take a funicular ride up to Capri town. A Local Expert escorts you to the luxuriant Caesar Augustus Gardens for views of the Faraglioni rocks & a crunchy, refreshing lemon granita - a specialty of the island. Savour the cosmopolitan mood of the Piazzetta before descending to the port by open-top taxi & returning to Sorrento. On arrival, you can investigate the art of ‘intarsio' or marquetry wood inlaying.

{tab Day 7}

The Amalfi Coast & Sorrento
 
(Relaxed Start) Travel along Italy's finest coastline, the Amalfi Coast. Stop for a bird's-eye view of the terraced houses of Positano before boarding minibuses to the heart of the town. There's time to be tempted by the boutiques before returning to Sorrento. Enjoy this beautiful resort with its stunning views down to the clear sparkling waters of the Gulf of Naples. Sorrento's main square, Piazza Tasso, is a hub of activity; maybe relax over coffee & contemplate your options. You could stroll down to the harbour, visit the Church of St. Francis, take a swim from the foot of the cliffs or just relax beside your hotel's pool & enjoy the warm southern sunshine.

 

{tab Day 8}

On to ill-fated Pompeii & Rome

Drive to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, eerily preserved by the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Walk with a Local Expert through cobbled streets to explore some of the shops, villas & temples. Witness colourful frescoes hidden for centuries. Continue beneath the brooding hilltop monastery of Monte Cassino back to Rome where your journey reaches its zenith in the evening. In the heart of the Eternal City, you are treated to the quintessential Italian experience – fine food, wine, music & a private performance of enchanting operetta!

{tab Day 9}
