8 Highlights of Italy

Hike to the peak of Mount Etna, uncover well-preserved ruins in Pompeii, walk along clifftops in Amalfi and cycle around Puglia on our small group tours. Here are some of the very best highlights that Italy has to offer.

 

Amalfi Coast Walking

A popular highlight on our Italy small group tours is the sprawling network of clifftop walking trails along the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast. Embark on the spectacular ‘Walk of the Gods’ so named for its lofty pathways and far-reaching vistas over the glistening Tyrrhenian Sea. A day trip to Capri island will take you beyond trendy boutiques and fancy restaurants into a labyrinth of cobbled streets and white-washed walls draped in bright bursts of bougainvillaea flowers. Look back at the mainland’s towering limestone cliffs and view tiers of colourful apartments vying for the best ocean view.

Learn how to make cheese in Putignano Agri and visit a local mill to taste freshly made ‘green gold’ olive oil before enjoying a wine tasting at a local farmhouse. Quiet rural countryside will accompany you on your journey as well as historic monuments, castles and ancient cave dwellings.
