On this 15-day tour through the south, you will find the incredible hidden jewels that go far beyond the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii, where you venture down to the heel of Italy’s boot and find precious gems along the coastline and even remnants of Greek history, some hiding within the caves. The magnificence of Southern Italy goes beyond Naples and into a region that no longer needs to stay hidden.
Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Rome - Arriving Jewels
Rome is filled with the vibrant energy of a modern city and the shimmer of thousands of years’ worth of history, palpable in the language, the architecture, the art, and the food. You are met at the airport by a private transfer that will quickly have you at your luxurious accommodations within the heart of the city’s historic center. Settle into the comforts of your hotel and the elegance of the city with a welcome cocktail as the celebrated flavors of Rome come to light.
Stride onto the cobblestone streets of the city where the history rings through the fountains and the walkways. A guided walk through the old city will take you to unimaginable beauty displayed in the open. The Trevi Fountain is a picture-perfect representation of Rome, fed by the Acqua Vergine, an aqueduct that has served the city since before the modern millennium. In the 1700s Nicoló Salvi designed the opulent Rococo fountain that features Neptune proudly standing as the pinnacle of the piece. The gentle water trickles in as people sit and enjoy the spectacle with an aromatic glass of wine, a creamy cup of gelato, or standing at the fountain’s edge with their back turned throwing a coin over their shoulder and listening for the splash.
