Why this journey

Discover Southern Italy on a 5-day journey that blends city history, volcanic landscapes and classic Mediterranean coastline. Begin in Naples, where central accommodation gives you an easy base for exploring the city at a relaxed pace before the touring begins.

The second day brings a full guided circuit through Naples, Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. Walk through the city’s most important landmarks, continue to the archaeological remains of Pompeii, and then travel into Vesuvius National Park for the crater hike and wide views over the Bay of Naples. The itinerary balances guided sightseeing with enough time to take in the setting, food and atmosphere at each stop.

From Naples, take the ferry to Capri for a day on the island. Spend time in the Piazzetta, see the Gardens of Augustus, and choose optional visits to the Blue Grotto or Villa San Michele if you want to add more to the day. The pace stays flexible, which makes the island visit feel open rather than rushed.

The final touring day follows the Amalfi Coast by boat from Sorrento, with time in Amalfi and Positano before returning to Naples. It is a route that connects the region’s best-known coastal towns with practical transfers and scenic water travel, giving you a complete Southern Italy itinerary in one compact holiday.

With hotel stays in Naples, breakfast each morning, guided excursions and the main transfers arranged, this tour suits travellers who want an edited introduction to Campania with a strong mix of history, coastal scenery and optional food experiences.
