Discover Pompeii, Mt Vesuvius and the famous Amalfi Coast of Italy
This trip starts in the village of Bomerano, on the Agerola plains above the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy a warm welcome from local hosts, the Acampora family, before settling in. Land only clients can arrive at any time, although we do recommend joining the group transfer at the airport as public transport options to the hotel are limited.
After a short private transfer to Amalfi (30mins), we take the boat along the coast to Positano, a near vertical town of colourful buildings reached by a network of ancient paths and tracks. During the journey we take in the beautiful classic views of the Amalfi Coast and once in Positano we will start exploring this picturesque town, strolling among its winding streets and there is time to visit the beautiful Cathedral, enjoy a swim in the blue sea or visit the unique boutiques for some great shopping opportunities. We will also enjoy an optional lunch in a pizzeria and a refreshing Italian gelato before returning in the late afternoon to Bomerano by boat and minibus.
Today we descend from the Agerola hills and take a transfer (approx. 45mins) to Pompeii, once a thriving port town until Vesuvius’ catastrophic eruption spanning two days in 79AD during which the city was buried in ash and pumice. Lost for 1700 years, Pompeii is now a UNESCO World Heritage site as the perfectly preserved remains give us an amazing insight into life in a Roman city, complete with bathhouses, bakeries and homes - some of which are still have walls adorned with detailed frescoes. You may take some time to explore the site independently but we recommend opting for a detailed tour accompanied by a local guide which can be hired locally for approx. €10pp depending on the group size. In the afternoon we head to the famous volcano that looms over the million inhabitants of Naples, Mt Vesuvius. The vehicle will take you at an altitude of approx. 1000m and from there to the crater you will need to ascend on a path which is approx. 150 meters long and quite steep in places. A local guide will then take you on a short walk along the rim of the crater and he/shewill explain you the fascinating history of Vesuvius and its volcanic activity. We return to the hotel by bus in the late afternoon.Please note that in case of adverse weather conditions such as fog, storms or heavy rain the local authorities may deicide to restrict or prevent access to Vesuvius. In the event this inclusion cannot be offered on your departure, we will be taking you to Herculaneum to visit its perfectly preserved remains and virtual museum which give an amazing insight into the life of a Roman city.
This morning we take a short transfer to visit a local cheese producer based in Agerola, where we have the opportunity to sample delicious freshly made mozzarella, prepared in front of us by hand following a centuries-old recipe. We may also have time to visit the small farm owned by the same family of cheesemakers. We then depart for a visit to vibrant Amalfi, which was popular with the British upper classes in Edwardian times. The large Duomo dominates the town with its bright coloured tiles so typical of the region. We have a few hours to explore the wonderful historic centre and alleys before taking an interesting tour of the Paper Museum, which celebrates the long-established paper making tradition in Amalfi. The guide will explain how the Amalfi paper was once made and you will also have the chance to experiment it yourself, using some of the ancient paper making machines which are still in working order for demonstrations. We then make our way back to the hotel and enjoy a pizza-making class before dinner!
Today is free to relax at the hotel's pool or by one of the local beaches. Alternatively you could opt to take a day trip to the world famous island of Capri and decide to explore the island on foot, by boat and chairlift to visit the network of small pedestrian streets, the remains of the Roman Villa Jovis and the famous Faraglioni (rock stacks) and Blue Grotto. Another option is to spend the day in Ravello, a charming and peaceful town perched high on the cliffs above Amalfi, famous for its stunning panoramic gardens and its impressive Cathedral. Your tour leader will not always join these optional activities but will help you to arrange transport locally.
The Amalfi Coast is also renowned for its colourful ceramics and this morning we visit a local artisan's 'bottega', where the kids will have the opportunity to paint a pottery souvenir! Later we set off for a fun walk along a short section of one of the world's finest day walks: the 'Path of the Gods'. The route follows the contours of the land with amazing views of the Amalfi Coastline far below. In season the meadows are carpeted with flowers and the coastal waters teem with cruisers and pleasure boats. Please be aware that the terrain can be rocky or uneven at times and there parts which are a little exposed therefore not suitable for severe vertigo sufferers. After a barbecue lunch (included, weather permitting) we will return to the hotel on foot.
After a scenic ride down to Amalfi (30 mins) we will enjoy a half-day kayak excursion along the Amalfi Coast. This is the perfect finale for the trip as it allows to explore Italy’s famous coastline from the most spectacular angle: in the midst of the sparkling blue sea. After a short introductory lesson on how to kayak and safety at sea we will set off, led by an experienced local guide, to the west towards Runghetiello Grotto. The route will take us along Amalfi’s finest beaches as well as under natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast. Those not wishing to participate can wait for the rest of the group at the lovely beach where the activity starts. Please note that in the event the kayaking cannot take place due to bad weather, the leader will organise an alternative activity such as a day-trip to Sorrento or Capri. We return to the hotel in the evening and enjoy a delicious group farewell dinner.

This trip is graded Level 2: leisurely/moderate. It is designed for ages 9 to
12 but is also suitable for ages 5 to 8 or 13 to 16 (depending on the
departure date).*Please note that from 2020 the trip will only be designed
for ages 9 to 12 but will also be suitable for ages 13 to 16. Our goal is to
have similarly-aged children on each departure, which allows the leader to
better adapt the pace of the trip as required.Our family activity levels are
aimed at children in the primary or ‘Designed for’ age group. We are
confident it is also suitable for those in the ‘Also for’ age range,
however note if your child is in this secondary category they may find it
either a little easier. Please see the family activity levels on our website
for further information.When grading our trips we consider multiple factors,
the pace — how busy an itinerary is — and the level of activity involved.
Then there’s the amount of time a family will spend travelling. The weather
is an important factor too.This holiday aims to show you the best parts of
the Amalfi Coast using a mixture of private buses, boats and sightseeing on
foot. Though there is no strenuous physical activity involved, some days
will be busy and in summer the heat and humidity can be tiring. Travel time
is kept to a minimum wherever possible (max. 2 hours bus time per day) and
the private vehicles used are comfortable and with air-conditioning. On most
days you will be back at the hotel at the end of the afternoon and you will
have a couple of hours free before dinner to take some rest or enjoy the
hotel's pool. There is also one free day and some time at leisure at the
beach included in the itinerary.There are two walks included in the trip.
During the visit to Mount Vesuvius the vehicle will take you at an altitude
of approx. 1000m and from there to the crater you will need to ascend on a
path which is approx. 150 metres long and quite steep in places. Along the
Walk of the Gods you will be walking on a marked the path however the terrain
can be rocky or uneven at times and there are parts which are a little
exposed therefore not suitable for severe vertigo sufferers. This walk
usually takes around 1.5 hours.The kayaking excursion will last approximately
4 hours including stops. Each minor should be accompanied by one adult in a
double kayak. No previous experience is necessary, but participants must be
able to swim.Please be prepared for some drives on winding coastal roads

details please see the relevant section below.
Hotel Due Torri We spend 7 nights at the 3-star Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano, a small village
in the municipality of Agerola set high above the Amalfi Coast at an altitude
of approximately 700m. Run by the warm and welcoming Acampora family, the
Hotel Due Torri is well known for its great local cuisine, providing
authentic dishes of the Campania region as well as fun pizza-making
demonstrations. All rooms have en suite facilities, air conditioning, TV
with international channels, and free Wi-Fi.A limited number of superior
rooms (with facilities including Jacuzzi bath, power showers, and fridge) are
also available for a supplement from £180 or equivalent per room payable
pre-departure. Please ask your sales consultant for further info.Being higher
up in the hills the property offers the benefit of cooler nights, although
beaches are not too far away and there is a small outdoor pool (usually open
from mid-April to mid-October, weather dependent). The village is generally
quiet and provides a relaxing contrast to the busier towns by the sea.On
occasion, if the hotel is full you might be offered (upon booking) to stay at
an alternative accommodation located within walking distance from the Due
Torri. Guests staying at alternative accommodation will still make use of all
the facilities of Hotel Due Torri, including the pool and restaurant.

Southern Italy, in common with a lot of the Mediterranean, possesses a hot,
dry climate in summer, with cooler but slightly damper spring and autumn
periods, and at coastal levels mild, damp winters. Rainfall is expected in
winter months with an average of one day in three affected. It is
particularly important to note the high temperatures during summer which can
often reach 35°C by the coast. Unseasonable cold spells are possible at
any time of year, during which time you will need warm clothes, especially in
the hills up in Bomerano where evening temperatures can be lower than
expected. It is important to be equipped for cooler weather in early spring,
late autumn and winter.

Italian cities have recently introduced a tourist tax for non-residents. The
local administration is in charge of the tax, which will be collected by the
accommodation provider at check-in or check-out. This fee varies depending on
the hotel category, the season and number of days of stay. It is usually
between between €0.50 and €1.50 per person per night. For this trip,
please allow between €5 and €10, depending on the season, for the week.
Children and people aged 75 or over are exempt from this tax.Optional

€25In Capri the leader may recommend to use private taxis to move around
the often overcrowded island. For this optional service and the cable-car
please allow approx. €35 per person.
Although optional, a tip for the leader at the end of the trip is greatly
appreciated. As a guideline we recommend a contribution of €15-20 per adult
per leader. Groups normally like to show their appreciation for hotel staff
by leaving a tip at the end of their stay. We recommend a contribution of
approx. €10 per adult for the local staff at the hotel. It is also
customary to tip private bus drivers (please allow approx. €10 per family
for the week).
