An ideal way to welcome springtime: You start your journey in the Gulf of Naples, where the average daytime temperature is around 20 degrees C (68 F). You’ll spend your nights at the classy Grand Hotel La Favorita***** in the heart of Sorrento for the next few days. From there the much hailed coast of Positano and Amalfi is only a stone’s throw away.
We will pick you up at Naples Airport in the late morning and transfer you to your hotel for the next days. You’ll get to know the Alfa Spiders on the introductory lap to Pozzuoli and then get to know one of Europe’s most exciting cities better with a guided tour. At dinner together in a typical Neapolitan trattoria in the old town, there is already plenty to talk about with your fellow travelers.
This morning you leave Naples towards the south, along the coastline through the infamous suburbs of Naples. From here it goes uphill to the Monti Lattari. Seemingly endless serpentines guarantee pure driving pleasure and great views first of the Gulf of Naples and then of the Gulf of Salerno. Arrive there at the Ravello, enjoy breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast while visiting the Villa Cimbrone. After lunch we drive the Amalfitana, the coastal road to Sorrento. After checking in at “La Favorita”, you can review the journey over an aperitivo on the hotel’s roof terrace.
After breakfast you start again on a new route to the Amalfi Coast. We walk through the old town of the former maritime Republic of Amalfi, which gave the entire region its name, and visit the cathedral, which was made up of two churches. After lunch together in the old town, we continue to Vietri sul Mare in the Gulf of Salerno. Enjoy our selected coffee stop in Vietri, and follow the coastline on the way back; the azure sea with the island of Capri on the left and the light-colored limestone on the right.
Hardly any Mediterranean island is associated with the 1950s like Capri. The island has been a popular refuge for artists, intellectuals and celebrities in the past. Under Emperor Tiberius, Capri was the seat of government of the Roman Empire for a decade. We set off from Sorrento in the morning by boat to visit and enjoy Capri. In the course of the afternoon our trip ends again at the airport of Naples.
Since the 1950’s the Amalfi Coast has established itself as one of the most glamorous settings of La Dolce Vita. The coastline south of Naples as well as the Islands of Capri and Ischia awaken strong romantic feelings. Enjoy your cool Aperol Sprizz sundowner while overlooking a marvelous sunset in Positano, follow in Brigitte Bardot’s footsteps through Amalfi, and savour a typical Mediterranean dinner in a restaurant well hidden inside fishermens’ villages carved in the cliffs.
Particularly worth seeing are the Galleria Umberto I, the Cathedral of San Gennaro with the blood of the saint, which is shown twice a year, and the Real Teatro San Carlo which was one of the leading opera houses in Europe. The catacombs and the largest football stadium in Italy, the Stadio San Paolo, are unique. South of Naples lies one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe, the Costiera Amalfitana. The unique steep coast with lemon gardens and pastel-colored villages at dizzying heights, turquoise-colored, romantic bays became a popular meeting place for the jet set in the 1950s. Pompei and Paestum are pilgrimage sites for archaeological tourists and unique witnesses from Roman times.
