Italian Coast: the well known and famous Italian coast Amalfi, from Punta to Salerno, hugs the picturesque Positano, Ravello and the beautiful island of Capri. Amazing hotels, little traditional tavernas will please all tastes. Positano is more like a well kept secret with the little houses and elegant shops. Amalfi is one of the smallest but traditionally famous resorts in Italy. The town still has an authentic air despite its popularity with tourists. Excellent restaurants and local wine, San Marco, bottled in Amalfi. Perched high above,
Amalfi closer to the sky than the seashore, is the former independent republic of Ravelo. Ravelo wins you over with its amazing view and last but not
least, the island of Capri, the cosmopolitan resort, gathers most of the refine and high spending tourism than the rest of Italy. Ferries and hydrofoils leave from the harbour throughout the day arriving at the Marina Grande. Boats are then available from here to Capri. The main tourist attraction is the Blue Grotto.
*** Fly to Naples via Rome and then get a surface transfer to your hotel in any of the above resorts. Our suggestion is to rent a car and explore the area.
Stopover to Rome is permitted.
Rome – Venice – Florence: A beautiful combination of mainland Italy. Rome, “the eternal city” exerts an enduring fascination over its countless visitors. Capital of Italy and the country’s largest city, it is littered with the relics of over 2000 years of history. With a unique atmosphere, the streets contain reminders of all the eras in Rome’s rich history – the Colosseum and the Forum are the most famous of the classical period. Elegant shopping streets including the Via Condotti lead up to the Piazza di Spagna and the famous Spanish Steps. At the nearby Trevi Fountain, visitors guarantee their return to Rome by throwing a coin into waters. The Vatican City is best known to tourists and students of architecture for the magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica. Fly out to your next stop Florence, the principal Tuscan city, the world’s most celebrated storehouse of Renaissance Art and Architecture. The Dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore dominates the city’s roofscape just as the great Piazza del Duomo at its feet dominates life at street level. The square is ringed with cafes and is a popular meeting point. By train, you may get to the picturesque Venice, which stands on an island in a lagoon, at the Northern end of the Adriatic Sea. The city’s main monuments are the Doge’s Palace, St. Marc’s Square and the Bridge of Sighs. Characterised by little canals, small squares and above all since it contains no motor traffic, the serenity. You may then fly back to Cyprus via Milan.
Tuscany: With a landscape of vine-covered hills, cypress woods, fields of sunflowers and remote hilltop villages. Chianti, the best known Italian wine, is made here. Stay in a Relais and Chateaux Villa for a different holiday with your family or friends.
