A balanced 295-km Italian southern coastal expedition: beginning along the famed corniche of the Amalfi Coast before continuing south into the wild national parks, ancient Greek temples, and secluded coves of the Cilento peninsula.
Commence in Sorrento and drive the iconic SS163 carved into the sea cliffs. Spend two nights in Ravello perched high above Amalfi and Minori, avoiding peak traffic bottlenecks while enjoying panoramic vistas over the Gulf of Salerno.
Cross the Plain of the Sele River toward Paestum. Explore three of the world’s best-preserved Doric Greek temples (6th century BC) surrounded by ancient stone pine forests. Sample genuine Mozzarella di Bufala at local artisan estates.
Escape the crowds into the UNESCO-listed Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. Base in the fishing village of Palinuro to explore the sea grottos of Baia del Buon Dormire and the rugged cliff trails of Marina di Camerota.
