Soak up the scenic AMALFI COAST

Stroll through picturesqu­e hill towns, taste local wine and hike along the dramatic coastline

-

Savour the last of the summer sunshine on a walking tour of the stunning Amalfi Coast, an idyllic part of Europe that’s adored by romantics, celebritie­s and nature-lovers for its dramatic scenery, fragrant lemon groves and rustic towns. During your seven-night stay, you will explore Ravello and Positano, and visit Pompeii in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. On the Path of the Gods, you’ll be immersed in one of the most beautiful Italian landscapes, while an excursion up Tre Calli Mountain will offer jaw-dropping views of the Sorrento Peninsula.

Reasons to book FASCINATIN­G VISITS

Take in places such as Amalfi, with a magnificen­t cathedral at its centre, and wisteria-lined Positano, often called ‘the vertical city’, which clings on to the rock face of a sheltered bay.

DELICIOUS FOOD & WINE-TASTING

Visit a traditiona­l vineyard to discover how the local wine, Lacryma Christi, is made. You’ll also join a cooking demonstrat­ion and see how the locals make mozzarella.

BREATHTAKI­NG POMPEII

Pompeii was a thriving city before 79AD, when it was buried under ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Wander the ‘fossilised’ city or opt for a guided tour.
