After breakfast, we will start sightseeing in Naples, the third largest city in Italy, which is known as an open museum due to the wealth of sights and historical monuments.

Guided tour of the city’s most important attractions: Castel Nuovo, Teatro San Carlo, Galleria Umberto I., Piazza del Plebiscito, Palazzo Reale. After sightseeing, you will have free time to explore the city. Since pizza originated in Naples, we suggest you try the authentic Neapolitan version, because it is considered that whoever has not tasted pizza in Naples, has not eaten real pizza! We also offer an optional excursion to Pompeii, an ancient city that suddenly disappeared under layers of volcanic ash during the eruption of Vesuvius and was buried for more than 1,600 years. Today, Pompeii is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and provides an invaluable insight into the daily life of the Roman Empire.

Many rulers of the Roman Empire, Russian tycoons and Hollywood stars considered it a paradise. Upon arrival in Capri, we will use the funicular to reach the capital of the island. There we will see the main attractions, including the Piazzetta, the main square with a beautiful view and numerous cafes, the Chiesa di Santo Stefano, Via Camerelle, the Giardini di Augusto garden, the Certosa di San Giacomo monastery and many others. You will have free time to explore. We recommend a walk to Punta Tragaro (duration about 15-20 minutes) where you will enjoy a spectacular view of the cliffs of Capri and the famous Faraglioni rocks emerging from the sea. We also recommend taking public transport to the second place on the island, Anacapri, where you can take the cable car to the Monte Solaro viewpoint on top of the mountain and enjoy the wonderful view. Return to Naples by boat. Return to the hotel. Overnight stay.

UNESCO declared this coast a world heritage site for its natural beauty and architecture. We suggest an optional boat trip from Sorrento to enjoy a panoramic cruise along the Amalfi Coast, including visits to the famous towns of Positano and Amalfi, which are among the most visited and beautiful places on the coast.
