The Amalfi Coast of Italy is a sparkling mixture of ancient trails, Mediterranean views, and jet-setting towns stacked high on the soaring bluffs of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Here, chic Positano and elegant Ravello sit perched on limestone cliffs, a panorama of pastel houses, alfresco eateries, and baroque cathedrals fronting harbors of wooden boats. Time-worn trails wend through terraced vineyards and stands of olive trees, their names as iconic as their 100-mile views: the Path of the Gods, the Valley of the Mills, the Phoenician Steps of Anacapri. You’ll explore 2,000-year-old Roman ruins and dine in family-owned restaurants beloved by the locals. Savor the region’s refined cuisine: fresh seafood, pillowy mozzarella di bufala, elegant pastries, and the sweet taste of limoncello. Round out your experience with a luxury stay on Capri, an island of fine shops, hidden gardens, and dramatic mountain views.

Tour Highlights:

  • Explore Pompeii; the ancient streets, stone archways, and remarkably preserved temples; a city frozen at the moment of its destruction 2,000 years ago.
  • Along the celebrated Sentiero degli Dei (“Path of the Gods”), witness spectacular vistas: white cliffs, green grass, and the brilliant sapphire of the Mediterranean.
  • Discover a hidden garden in the town of Ravello: the Villa Cimbrone’s wild roses and climbing vines hang on the cliff’s edge over the sea.
