After breakfast, set off on your first hike on the Mount Vesuvius climb (1281m) – a still active strata-volcano known for its infamous eruption in 79 AD that turned Pompeii and Herculaneum into ash. The main trail, known as the Grand Cono, is accessible to hikers of all levels and provides an unforgettable experience. As you hike to the summit, take in the surrounding views as you pass ancient ruins and rugged terrain, leading to views into the steaming volcano crater and sweeping panoramas over the Bay of Naples. After the hike it’s time to head to the charming town of Sorrento, stopping for lunch at a family-run limoncello farm to enjoy some of the region’s local produce like olive oil and of course limoncello. Later, catch the ferry across to the beautiful island of Capri – an island primarily made of limestone and known for its rugged cliffs, azure waters, and hidden coves. You'll spend the next two nights in the historic Hotel San Michele. A Capri icon since 1880 you have ample time to wander the well tended gardens or relax in the hotel pool, the largest pool on the island.

Day 3: Capri & Sentiero dei Fortini hike

This morning, set off on a scenic hike along the Sentiero dei Fortini, an easy coastal trail that traces the ruggedly beautiful western side of Capri. Start near the Grotta Azzurra – the island’s iconic Blue Cave – and walk through the Pinewood of Damecuta, a stretch of pine forest that surrounds the ruins of Villa Damecuta. From here, you’ll continue along the coastline, passing rocky coves and cliffs to reach Punta del Miglio and Punta Campetiello, where you’ll see the historic Mesola Fort. Along the way, stop at viewpoints like Belvedere degli Agli and Fortino di Pino before finishing your hike at the beach of Punta Carena Lighthouse. If the weather is warm and the waters calm perhaps take a dip. The afternoon is free for you to continue exploring Capri.

Day 4: Amalfi Coast & Path of the Lemons hike

Take the ferry from Capri to Amalfi this morning. When you arrive in town take a private vehicle along the famous coastline to get your first glimpse of your hotel in Vietri sul Mare before driving to the seaside town of Maiori, where you’ll start today’s hike. Follow the historic Sentiero dei Limoni (Path of the Lemons) through centuries-old lemon groves and terraced hillsides to the neighbouring town of Minori. Along the way on this undulating path, enjoy sweeping views of the bay and take the opportunity to sample fresh lemons or homemade lemonade from local producers along the way. Then, continue back to Vietri sul Mare later this afternoon. Known as the 'gateway to the Amalfi Coast' this (relatively) hidden gem is first and foremost known for its art, especially the colourful ceramics that can be found in every corner of this charming town! After dinner perhaps kick back and sip a glass of vino from the hotel terrace that looks directly out over the blue waters of the Amalfi Coast.

After breakfast, drive along the stunning coastline then set off on one of the most iconic and scenic hiking routes on the Amalfi Coast – the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods). Start in Agerola and as you hike along this undulating path take in the panoramic views of the sun-drenched cliffs, hidden coves and terraced villages that seem to tumble into the sea. The scenery is so cinematic it feels straight out of a movie – so keep your camera at hand. Follow the coastal path all the way into Positano – a colourful cliffside village known for its pebble beachfront and steep, winding streets. Stop for lunch, explore the narrow streets lined with boutiques and cafes or simply relax by the beach before continuing your journey back to Vietri sul Mare for the afternoon. Perhaps visit the Municipal Villa, walk the hilly Old Town, visit the ceramics museum or simply relax after a rewarding day's hiking.

Learn about the history of its Forum, amphitheatre, temples, and beautifully preserved villas and commercial buildings, in streets frozen in time by the ash-laden eruption of Mount Vesuvius. After your walk through history, head to a nearby family-run vineyard for a relaxed lunch. Indulge in local food and wine and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Then, continue back to nearby Naples where you have free time to explore the city that’s said to be the birthplace of pizza!
