Itinerary/Excursions
Day 01
Transfer to the airport from your local pick-up point, before boarding your flight.
Day 02
Today we will be visiting Naples, and the famous pizza the city is known for. Visit to the capital of Campania, an experience in its own right. Naples has quite simply a unique charm and character that casts the visitor under its spell. We stop at a local pizzeria to learn how locals make the original speciality, a Neapolitan pizza, which will include lunch.
Day 03
Embark on a morning guided tour of Pompeii, an enormous open-air museum offering a window into the world of the Romans and rightly one of the most important Roman sites. An afternoon stop on the famous volcano to sample some of the fine wines that are cultivated in the rich volcanic soil on the Vesuvian slopes, with stunning views of the Bay of Naples. We will have a boat transfer from Naples to Ischia before dinner.
Day 04
Go on a round trip of the thermal island of Ischia, driving along the scenic coasts, stopping at the iconic Castello Aragonese with its fortress perched atop a rocky islet. Visit a local farmhouse to taste the local mozzarella, dry tomatoes and many other delicacies.
Day 05
The smallest of the three islands of the Gulf of Naples, Procida is considered a real insider tip and was elected as Italian Capital of Culture back in 2022. Take a short 25 minute boat trip that connects Ischia to Procida and upon arrival take a guided tour of the tiny island with its pastel coloured houses. Stop at a local restaurant to enjoy the catch of the day with a glass of wine.

Spend the day at leisure. Perhaps visit Capri, with its dramatic coastline and grandiose villas.
