Embark on this 8-day voyage with the Emerald Sakara to explore Southern Italy's breathtaking countryside. Explore the Byzantian, Venetian and Turkish influences on display in the beautiful southern Italian town of Monopoli, wonderfully situated on the Adriatic Sea. In the country’s Apulia region, enjoy gazing out at the Adriatic Sea from the picturesque town of Otranto, known as ‘the Far East of Italy’, and cruise onwards to Crotone and the Sicilian town of Giardini Naxos, where its horseshoe bay is lined with bars and restaurants. Navigate the Tyrrhenian Sea to Amalfi before enjoying a guided tour and gelato tasting in the stunning lemon-growing coastal town of Sorrento.
Highlights
Visit the town of Sorrento for spectacular views over the Bay of Naples
Explore the remnants of Apollo’s temple in Crotone
Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Tracing its origins back to 545 AD, Monopoli is a melting pot of Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish influence. Its charming harbor is surrounded by medieval stone walls, while the Church of the Purgatory features a Baroque chapel of mummified citizens that passed on.
Regarded as ‘the far east of Italy’, Otranto gazes out on to the Adriatic Sea and was a key port for trade and conquest during Roman times. Today, you’ll find a picturesque town of fortifications, mouthwatering seafood restaurants and a pleasant beach.
At the very tip of Southern Italy is the Calabrian city of Crotone. Legend has it that it owes its name to Greek half-god Hercules, and there are Aegean influences at every turn, including the remnants of Apollo’s temple.
Sitting in the foothills of Mount Cerreto, the ambient setting of Amalfi is a pleasant collection of piazzas and waterfront restaurants. Despite its diminutive size, this town was once a maritime powerhouse.
A quaint resort credited with inspiring the works of Charles Dickens and Leo Tolstoy, Sorrento provides a romantic introduction to the Amalfi Coast. The historic town has spectacular views over the Bay of Naples, and its maze of cobbled streets is punctuated with cosy cafes.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

My family and I had been dreaming of going to Africa for two decades and our dream finally came true! I cannot begin to explain what an incredible experience we had working with Adventure Life, and specifically with Jason Maynard and his assistant Kriska Buison. From the deep knowledge of just about every activity, location and venue, to the patience and perseverance he had in working with us until we crafted the absolute perfect trip.
We made a video that captures our experience, two of the most amazing weeks of our life... enjoy! To view it, you can go to YouTube and find my profile xdeanda and find my video "East Africa, summer 2024"

From the initial booking all the way through the trip, this was by far our favorite trip. Small boat travel is the only way to see a location. The excursions were so much more than I could explain. The locations were remote and awesome.
