About this experience

Some are enamoured with elevated scenic views, whilst others say nothing compares to an Aperol Spritz served by an ocean of azure blues.

It’s the age-old travel question: Do you prefer mountains or beaches?

Well, on this trip, you don’t have to answer, because you get the best of both.

You listen to folk tales within the wooded slopes of the Majella National Park, visit villages that cuddle the rocky sides of the Lucanian Dolomites, and walk atop the ridges of the volcano of Vesuvius.

At the same time, you see the gentle, lapping waves of Torre Lapillo’s lesser-known beaches; experience the glitz and glamour of the famous Amalfi Coast; and taste every type of seafood you can in the fishing villages of the Adriatic Sea.

What’s more is that we’ve even managed to mix in Pompeii, Montecassino Abbey, and a few historical wonders into this irresistible itinerary.

Take this tour through the best of South Italy and let both their mountains and beaches take your breath away.
