Explore Italy’s Amalfi Coast

June 24, 2024

In Southwest Italy, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, sits one of the most acclaimed Mediterranean regions. The Amalfi Coast is home to a collection of quaint seaside towns and stunning landscapes of coastal cliffs, sprawling vineyards, and lemon groves. The romantic coastline stands in sharp contrast to the bustling city of Naples just an hour north, where this trip begins and ends. Travelers will stay in a converted 17th century monastery in the historic town of Furore, which they will have ample time to explore between exciting ventures to the best the region has to offer. Day trips include visits to surrounding towns, such as the coast’s namesake, hikes up mountains overlooking the sea, a ferry ride along the coast, and even a guided tour of the ruins of Pompeii. Upon return home to Furore, travelers will enjoy daily home cooked Italian dinners, often accompanied by cooking demonstrations.

This is an eight day trip and costs $1,364. This trip is led by the sustainable travel company G Adventures. All G Adventures trips are led by a local guide, a CEO, Chief Experience Officer, and trip revenue is driven to help the local community.

Discover A Coastal Town in Italy

June 24, 2024

Sorrento is one of Southern Italy’s most acclaimed destinations, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea on the Western point of the gorgeous Amalfi Coast region, a landscape of stunning cliffs occupied by romantic sea-side towns. Sorrento predates the Roman Empire, with ruins dating back to around 600 BC. Today, it is hailed for its numerous small ceramics and lacework shops, and is the home of Limoncello liqueur production, which travelers will have the chance to experience. Travelers will stay on an organic lemon farm, hosted by the local family that runs it, and get an authentic glimpse of what life on an Italian agriturismo is like. While there will be ample opportunity to explore Sorrento itself, travelers will also take numerous day-trips around the region, including hiking the “Path of the Gods,” taking a scenic boat ride along the coast, visiting the luxurious island of Capri, arriving and departing from the city of Naples, and even taking a guided tour of the ruins of Pompeii. Travelers will return each evening to the agriturismo and enjoy delicious food and drink under a Mediterranean sunset.

This is a seven day trip and costs $1,349. This trip is led by the sustainable travel company G Adventures. All G Adventures trips are led by a local guide, a CEO, Chief Experience Officer, and trip revenue is driven to help the local community.
