SOUTHERN ITALY & SICILY
Overview Click map for larger sizeYour Italy vacation begins with three overnights in Rome, the "Eternal City," and a guided sightseeing tour that includes the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Then, view the Gulf of Naples from the top of Mount Vesuvius, one of Europe's greatest live volcanoes. View its crater before heading to Pompeii, the town destroyed in 79 AD when Vesuvius erupted. On your tour of the Pompeii archaeological site, see the remains of the luxurious villas, temples, theater, and forum. Take a ferry to the Isle of Capri and spend two nights enjoying its special flair. Capri, the charming and breathtaking vacation island for the jet-set, offers a maze of streets, fashionable boutiques, smart restaurants, and its pretty piazza. Cross the waters to the charming seaside resort of Sorrento for three nights. Admire the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, then set off toward Sicily, Italy's biggest island.
