Explore Italy’s Amalfi Coast

In the Southwest of Italy, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, sits one of the most acclaimed Mediterranean regions. The Amalfi Coast is home to a collection of quaint seaside towns and a stunning landscape of coastal cliffs, sprawling vineyards, and lemon groves. The romantic Amalfi Coast stands in sharp contrast to the bustling city of Naples just an hour North, where this trip begins and ends. Travelers will stay in a converted 17th century monastery in the historic town of Furore, which they will have ample time to explore between exciting jaunts about the region. Day trips include visits to surrounding towns, such as the coast’s namesake, hikes up mountains overlooking the sea, a ferry ride along the coast, and even a guided tour of the ruins of Pompeii. Upon return home to Furore, travelers will enjoy daily home cooked Italian dinners, often accompanied by cooking demonstrations.
