Please book your flight to arrive into Rome prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2: Amalfi, Italy | Capri, Italy

The stunning Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed shoreline, has captivated travelers since antiquity. Set along Southern Italy’s Campania region, just 20km from Sorrento, it features charming seaside towns where elegant villas, boutique shops, and beach clubs cling to dramatic cliffs above the sparkling sea. Overnight stay in Capri.

The allure of this Italian island paradise is timeless.

Sorrento is a tempting destination on the Italian coastline, with exceptional sea views, mouthwatering cuisine and authentic Italian style.

Duration: 1.15 hours

Day 5: Gaeta, Italy

Gaeta is a popular holiday destination set on a headland that juts out towards the Gulf of Gaeta, in the Lazio region of Southern Italy. A key attraction in Gaeta is Montagna Spaccata (Split Mountain), a natural sea grotto. According to legend the miraculous split rock was created when God sent a lightning bolt making three giant cracks in the mountain.

Day 6: Porto Cervo, Italy

Porto Cervo is a holiday hotspot favored by discerning travellers drawn to its upscale hotels, luxury boutiques, exceptional restaurants and vibrant nightlife. Porto Cervo's yacht marina is filled with opulent yachts, and the marina hosts prestigious events like the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup.

Day 7: Bonifacio, France

Perched atop a narrow limestone peninsula, Bonifacio offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Step back in time in the Old Town, which is a fortified citadel crowded with narrow streets and historic structures. Be sure to visit the staircase of the King of Aragon (Escalier du Roi d'Aragon), a steep flight of steps carved into the cliffside, which leads down to the blue-green sea.

EmeraldACTIVE
Hike Pertusato 
Embark on a scenic journey starting at the port of Bonifacio. Walk along the marina and up the Montée Rostello to reach St Roch Chapel, offering stunning views over the port. Your tour continues eastward, leading you to the cliffs of Bonifacio. Traverse the protected nature site, following the rugged limestone cliffs southeastward toward Capo Pertusato.

Along the way, pass by the Semaphore, a naval observation tower that oversees the bustling shipping traffic of the Straits. Enjoy breathtaking views of Sardinia, the Lavezzi and Cavallo islands, and the picturesque citadel of Bonifacio perched atop the cliffs.
After taking in the sights, return along the same route. Please note that guests should wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, including sturdy shoes, a weatherproof jacket, a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. This approximately 3-hour hike involves a change in altitude of about 300 meters and is considered fairly easy, but caution should be exercised near cliff edges.
Activity Level: Strenuous, Duration: 3 hours

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
