Glide away from the tiny chic island of Capri and sink lower into the rowing boat as it squeezes through a narrow cave into the Blue Grotto. Here you’ll find a spectacular sight – illuminated water glowing with an intense turquoise hue.
In Amalfi, dine on local pasta served with capers, olives and clams, and stroll around the marina and whitewashed villas nestled into the cliff-face. Don your sunglasses and discover the Amalfi Drive, cruising up a slender ribbon road along jagged steep cliffs, zig-zagging into the clouds.
Explore Sorrento, perched on a rugged headland, and soak up views over the gulf of Naples. Browse around Corso Italia’s designer boutiques, enjoy a cappuccino in a cobbled street, or head to Pompeii and watch excavators unearth the city once buried under Mount Vesuvius’ lava.
Wander past colourful, rustic buildings to Positano’s seafront and pick a terraced restaurant with views across the bay. Discover Ischia’s mountain slopes covered in olive groves and take time to bathe in the thermal springs. Palinuro has clear waters; stunning beaches and beautiful caves such as Grotto Azzurra; and Procida Island, the smallest and oldest island in the Bay of Naples, makes a relaxing stay, surrounded by gardens and orange groves.
Stay in tranquil Ravello and undiscovered Cilento, or watch the sunset through the Greek temples of Paestum. Admire the towering figure of Christ on Maratea’s coast and discover the hidden beaches along the Basilicatan shore.
