Italy: Puglia & the Amalfi Coast
Italy: Puglia & the Amalfi Coast
Private journey designed by you
Sample regional delicacies in a Puglian masseria, explore rock-hewn churches in Matera and fall for the Mediterranean beauty of the Amalfi Coast on this cultural journey through Italy's sun-drenched south.
Rugged, rustic Puglia with its time-warp villages and sweeping countryside may seem like an unlikely pairing with the glamourous islands and resorts of the Amalfi Coast, but their respective charms offset each other perfectly in this soulful journey shaped by ancient citadels, timeless cuisine and some of the Mediterranean’s finest coastal vistas. Travel from near Bari on the Adriatic Coast to Naples on the Tyrrhenian Sea on a luxury journey tailored to your interests and accompanied by expert guides. En route, explore the UNESCO-listed city of Matera in Basilicata, the site of natural limestone caves that have been inhabited for more than 10,000 years; the piazzas and palazzos of pretty Lecce, Otranto and Ostuni; and the sumptuous island escapes and pastel-hued villages of the Amalfi Coast.
