Procida packs quite the colorful punch, often overshadowed by its glamorous neighbors Capri and Ischia; this Gulf of Naples gem is ever-alluring. Procida's name, derived from a Neapolitan term meaning "soft beaches," perfectly encapsulates one of the best-selling points of the island. At Spiaggia della Chiaiolella, visitors can bask in the warm sun on dark, velvety sand while enjoying crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling. For a more intimate experience, the picturesque Spiaggia di Chiaia beckons with its shallow, child-friendly waters and breathtaking views of the colorful Corricella village. The island's crown jewel is Marina Corricella, a fishing village that seems plucked from a painter's palette. Pastel-hued houses cascade down to the waterfront, where seafood restaurants invite you to marvel at the scene.
Ischia is an international tourist destination situated peacefully in the Gulf of Naples, with crystal-clear seas, untouched landscapes, cultural sites and many other surprises. Its robust shoreline is distinguished by a series of headlands, streets and beaches where sea water flows a few feet from shoreline with hot water from thermomineral springs. Indeed, the volcanic island hides a high concentration of hot springs and a wide variety of waters in its underground, which make Ischia 'the capital of the Europe's thermal spa.More than 300 spa areas allow the rest of the mind and the body to regenerate. In Ischia, also called "The Green Island" it is a springtime eruption of colors and fragrances because of its numerous pine trees and lush Mediterranean vegetation. The wineries, planted on terraced grounds, give a special touch to the island's overall landscape.
You don’t get better than charming Capri. The graceful gem of the lemon-scented Amalfi Coast, Capri is pure poetry and worthy of a thousand sonnets. Dwarfed by soaring sea cliffs and penned in by the sparkling sea, any other small would disappear against so much drama but not Capri. Brimming with wisteria frothed villas, brightly painted buildings, gardens cloaked in kaleidoscopic colour framed by pergolas, and plump piazzas that are prime people-watching territory, Capri doesn’t fail to utterly enchant. Charter guests will want to visit the famed Grotta Azzurra - this flooded cave was believed to be home to sea nymphs and magic back in Roman days thanks to its iridescent hues of unbelievable blue. The Gardens of Augustus are also worth a stroll and the Villa San Michele is sure to steal your heart. With incredible seafood on offer and divine confection, you won’t go hungry in this happening summer spot.
An archipelago perched between Capri and Positano, the three islands of Gallo Lungo, Rotonda, and Castelluccio are known collectively as Li Galli. Many spots have claimed to be the famed land of the sirens from Greek mythology and Li Galli (also known as the Sirenuses) also claims this title. This trio of rocky islands facing Positano are privately owned. Previously passed through the hands of Russian dancers until owned by other individuals, in the summer months, the islands are often rented out to celebs seeking an exclusive retreat. The islands are home to naturally formed salt water pools for safe bathing, terrace dining for ocean view lunches, and even its own castellon.
Later on cruise to the the coast’s most picturesque and photogenic town, with steeply - stacked houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta colors. Dine in one of the restaurants and enjoy the sunset with with the great meal and glass of Italian wine. Explore the steep and colorful streets and steps of Positano lined with wisteria-draped hotels, smart restaurants and fashionable boutiques. Visit local beachclubs or indulge in waterspouts and later on enjoy the breathtaking views on the terrace of Caffè Positano.
Ravello charms tourists from its cliff top perch, numerous coves and beaches at its base. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the ideal backdrop for a celebration. From here you can discover delightful gardens that overlook the bay, historical ruins and a lively café scene, with summer evenings filled with the sounds of live music.
Much like Capri, Amalfi attracts tourists of great prestige. The 50 kilometers of Amalfi coastline stretch primarily from Sorrento to Salerno. It remains a unique and incredibly beautiful location. The hilly towns display Italian engineering and architecture at its finest, with terraced houses dangling from the steep cliffs. This area is a sight to behold. It is hard to grasp that pretty little Amalfi, with its sun-filled piazzas and small beach, was once a maritime superpower with a population of more than 70 000. For one thing, it’s not a big place – you can easily walk from one end to the other in about 20 minutes. For another, there are very few historical buildings of note. The explanation is chilling – most of the old city, and its populace, simply slid into the sea during an earthquake in 1343.
Emperor Tiberio Nerone was so enchanted by the beauty of Nerano that he built a villa here to spend his summers. This charming fishing village has continued to enchant the Ancient Romans, when the Empire's elite classes regularly came to spend their summer vacations here, Nerano's beach of Marina del Cantone has been attracting holidaymakers with its warm, crystal clear waters. Situated on the Sorrento Peninsula halfway between Sorrento and Amalfi, it is known for its culture, great local food, and underwater caves. As the village is built into the mountains and is slightly more difficult to get to, it means there is a more tranquil atmosphere and a wild beauty to it. Enjoy all the watersports and then, a lunch at Lo Scoglio da Tomaso or la Conca del Sogno.
For almost two centuries, Sorrento has been a popular tourist destination, perched on a plateau above the sea with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples. The historic seaside town has learned to cope with and benefit from tourism, and in exchange, it provides a traditional 'Mediterranean summer holiday' experience - without losing its Italian character and charm. Even the souvenirs are a cut above the norm, with plenty of fine old shops selling the ceramics, lacework and intarsio (marquetry items) that are famously produced here. Enjoy the immensity of the sea and the rich vegetation, characterized by olive groves and gardens of oranges and lemons.
Lazy breakfast in the farewell day. Disembarkation can be also in a close marina such as Marina di Stabia and by car to the airport.
