What's this trip about?

    Classic Journey's guide Sergio is passionate about food. (And anyone who has traveled with him as a guide on Amalfi Coast or Sicily tours will chuckle at that understatement.) So when Classic journeys set out to plan a special itinerary that combines beautiful walks with an emphasis on the cooking and culinary traditions of the Amalfi peninsula, whom did they ask? Imagine : Capri’s most luxurious hotel or three days in pastel Positano. Take walks that reveal Positano, Ravello, and even Pompeii with an archaeologist. With Sergio take informal cooking sessions in the home of one of his favorite cooks as well as some hands-on tutoring with professional chefs and a kitchen session in a family-run restaurant. Like a great Italian meal, this week is a long, happy, satisfying event that you’ll wish would never end.

DAY 1 - NAPLES

From our top-rated hotel overlooking the Bay of Naples (1 night), we’ll make the short journey to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. The views down to Pompeii and Herculaneum are staggering, and you’ll spot Capri on the horizon. Back in the city, our guide, who is a native Neapolitan, takes us to one of his favorite restaurants for dinner.

DAYS 2-3 - CAPRI

In the morning, we’ll hop the hydrofoil and skim out to Capri. Most visitors buzz in and out in one day, but we check in for two nights at the glamorous Quisisana hotel in the heart of the village. After a scenic walk, we relax in a family-run restaurant where we’re w...

DAYS 4-7 - POSITANO / NAPLES

After a boat ride back to the mainland, we make the world-famous drive to Sorrento, then on to Positano (3 nights). From this scenic base, we’ll head off to the village of Praiano where a 5-star hotel chef invites us into his home. We’ll put on aprons to whip up a spe...
