ITALY | ESCORTED TOURS UPSELL A TOUR


Amalfi Coast: Clients wanting to really push the boat out certainly aren’t short on options, but nowhere does all-out luxury and Italian beauty quite like the Amalfi Coast. Sheer cliffs, traditional fishing villages and ancient, crumbling ruins – not least those of Pompeii – are all part of the everyday here, while the narrow, maze-like lanes of Sorrento and the pastel-coloured houses of Positano lure the jet set. Kuoni features all of these on a seven-night Highlights


of Sorrento & Amalfi Coast small-group tour from Caserta to Naples, adding a visit to the ancient Greek temples of Paestum, wine tasting on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and an excursion to the exclusive island of Capri, known for its ornate Roman villa and terraced gardens. It’s priced from £1,769 based on a departure in April 2020, including flights, quality accommodation, two dinners and all breakfasts.


Sicily: Italy wouldn’t be complete without its islands, of course, and Sicily, just off the ‘toe’ of the country’s ‘boot’, deserves its reputation for world-class cuisine, volcanic


scenery, sparkling sea and classical history, giving it appeal on every level. Cox & Kings offers a seven-night group tour of the island with visits to Cefalù, known for its mosaic-tiled Norman cathedral, plus the Byzantine art of Palermo, medieval architecture of Erice, soaring Mount Etna and ancient Greek site Valley of the Temples, with wine tasting and Sicilian pastry sampling along the way. It starts at £1,785, including flights, entrance fees, daily breakfast, welcome dinner and four and five-star hotels. Abercrombie & Kent ups the luxury factor a notch with a seven-night Quintessential Sicily tour, where highlights include the island of Ortygia, the honey-coloured towns of Noto and Ragusa, and the hilltop town of Taormina. The nine-night trip costs from £2,995, including all breakfasts, four dinners and private transfers (flights not included), with standout accommodation including historic Hotel Villa Athena. Set within the Unesco-listed Valley of the Temples, the 300-year-old property boasts a slab of marble dating back more than 1,000 years, plus its very own farm producing food served on site.
