Delight in a special exploration of Italy’s southern climes, from striking Sicily and the stunning Amalfi coast to unheralded Apulia, enjoying Italian hospitality, outstanding cuisine and unique, well-located hotels. With a small group of no more than 24 guests, begin your 15-day journey in Taormina, where you experience Sicily’s intriguing cultural heritage. Visit Agrigento’s impressive Grecian temples in the “Valley of Temples.” Venture to Europe’s largest active volcano, Mt. Etna, stopping for lunch at a local farm. Tour Matera’s cave dwellings and Alberobello’s medieval white-washed buildings, both UNESCO sites. Discover Lecce, the “Florence of the South.” Tour the evocative UNESCO site of Pompeii, and enjoy a Neapolitan cuisine cooking lesson in Sorrento. Take a day trip to the storied Isle of Capri and embark on a breathtaking Amalfi Coast drive before bidding “arrivederci” to Italy at a farewell dinner. Explore eternal Rome on an optional 4-day/3-night post-tour extension.
