ITINERARY

Day 1 - Departure
Today you will depart your USA city or  or Country on an international flight to Naples, Italy

Day 1
- Welcome to the Amalfi Coast
Your Italy Experience begins upon arrival in Naples. Our driver will collect you from Naples and bring you directly to your hotel on the seaside city of Sorrento. Take a little time to freshen up, relax, settle in or explore before your Sisters and Suitcases Experience Orientation, where you will gain the practical details you will need and a walking tour of Sorrento. That night we’ll have a welcome dinner and you’ll meet your new famiglia italiana — your host and the other adventurous souls who have raised their hands to journey with you on this exclusive experience through Southern Italy. You’ll end the night on a high, buzzing from the new friends you’ve met (and possibly the local limoncello). at one of Tamaya's favorite restaurants to indulge in your first Italian meal together, you can sit back and feel your shoulders sink.

Day 2 - Discover  the History
This morning, we'll depart  Sorrento for Pompeii.  Pompeii was lost for nearly 1700 years before it was rediscovered again in 1748. This ancient Roman city was destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Pompeii's antiquities offer you an unparalleled view of Roman life. Today we will explore Pompeii we will lead around the bay and to the gates of the ancient and famously preserved city where you will witness remnants of its luxurious mansions, modest houses, markets, streets, public baths, theaters and temples as well as beautiful wall murals and floor mosaics.

Day 3 - Off the Beaten Path
Our morning starts with a scenic journey along the coast to Ravello, perched high on a ridge above Amalfi with breathtaking views of coastal mountains and sheer cliffs plunging into the sea. Today, you will experience a day of visual and cultural beauty as we drive along one of the most beautiful routes in Europe, 19th century Gran Tour and a UNESCO World Heritage Site as we head to the village of Ravello where we will explore the grounds of Villa Cimbrone.  Later in the evening we will return to Sorrento for dinner.

Day 4 - Isle of Capri
Today we float to the island of Capri (on the local Ferry), where stylish boutiques and chic cafés compete for your attention with the stunning natural beauty of the island. And don’t worry, we won’t leave Anacapri without a ride on the chairlift to grab some classic Capri photos! This exclusive day trip that is designed to maximize your precious time on the island so that you can truly experience the magic that makes this destination so famous in the first place. We will return to Sorrento for dinner on your own.

Day 5 - Taste, Wine & Dine

Today you will get your hands dirty with flour, olive oil, tomatoes and basil and learn the art of making pasta by assisting the chef in preparing our lunch for the day. Your family and friends back home will be surprised to learn of your new role as “Real Italian Chef.” Just remember that an Italian meal is not complete without a glass of wine. In that case, we’ll toast to the finest Neapolitan wines over dinner. “Delizioso (yummy)!”

Day 6 - Live Like a Local
Today we will return to the most intriguing coastline in the world, The Amalfi Coast, passing through Santa Agata dei due Golfi, and few other villages, in route to jewel city of Positano.  Positano is the coast’s most picturesque and photogenic town; with steeply-stacked houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta colors. No less colorful are its steep streets and steps lined with restaurants and fashionable boutiques. The day is yours to savor the enchanting atmosphere of the coast however you prefer, whether that’s eating pizza in a restaurant and going for the typical Italian ‘gelato’ on the beach afterwards like the locals or basking in a hillside café in Positano overlooking the water or traveling the length of the Amalfi Coast visiting as many picturesque towns as you can before the day’s end. Later that evening we will dine together at a Michelin restaurant in Southern Italy, overlooking the Mediterranean; your view at dinner will be amazing.


Day 7 - Day of Leisure
Today is a FULL DAY at Your Leisure, but if you want to go off-the-beaten-path treat, we recommend you take some time to discover Sorrento. Maybe you want to spend the day strolling and shopping in the heart of town in Piasso Tasso. If shopping not your thing you might spend your leisure day at the spa, people watch from the open window of a cafe or visiting a neighboring city before you bid farewell at the Farewell Dinner.

Day 8 - Au revoir - Goodbye (Departure) 
It will be hard to tear yourself away from Paris at this point for you scheduled departure, but all great things must come to an end. Prepare for pick-up to return back to the USA.​
