9D8N Italy: Puglia And The Amalfi Coast

Rugged, rustic Puglia with its time-warp villages and sweeping countryside may seem like an unlikely pairing with the glamourous islands and resorts of the Amalfi Coast, but their respective charms offset each other perfectly in this soulful journey shaped by ancient citadels, timeless cuisine and some of the Mediterranean’s finest coastal vistas.

Travel from near Bari on the Adriatic Coast to Naples on the Tyrrhenian Sea on a luxury journey tailored to your interests and accompanied by expert guides. En route, explore the UNESCO-listed city of Matera in Basilicata, the site of natural limestone caves that have been inhabited for more than 10,000 years; the piazzas and palazzos of pretty Lecce, Otranto and Ostuni; and the sumptuous island escapes and pastel-hued villages of the Amalfi Coast. 

• Explore the fairy-tale trulli cottages in the conical-roofed hilltop town of Alberobello.
• Wander Lecce, the baroque ‘Florence of the South,’ and the white-washed coastal town of Ostuni.
• Discover Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its prehistoric Sassi cave dwellings.
• Walk the ancient streets of Pompeii, preserved under volcanic ash since AD 79.
• Experience the glamour and breathtaking coastal vistas of Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello.
