Campania
Capri and Pompeii Escape
Pompeii with an archaeologist, a Vesuvius wine lunch and a full day around Capri by private yacht.
Naples and Campania
Naples & Beyond
A journey through culture, flavours and Mediterranean beauty, in four or five days from Naples.
The cultural richness of Naples, the archaeological wonders of Pompeii, the natural beauty of Mount Vesuvius, the elegance of Capri and the charm of the Amalfi Coast. Each day offers a different perspective on Campania, bringing together history, gastronomy, nature and authentic local encounters.
The four day programme is a compact introduction to the region; the five day version adds the Amalfi Coast for a more complete experience of southern Italy.
Best event fit
Based in central Naples, it pairs naturally with an America's Cup race stay, before or after the racing.

Discovering the authentic soul of Naples
A morning walk through the UNESCO listed historic centre: Spaccanapoli, Piazza San Gaetano and the Cathedral of Naples, with its legends and history, and the artisans of San Gregorio Armeno, famous for handcrafted nativity figures.

Aperitivo in the historic centre, then a traditional dinner with live Neapolitan music.
Day 2
Art, traditions and the art of pizza
Cappella Sansevero and the Veiled Christ (subject to advance booking), Baroque churches, historic squares and local boutiques. Then a hands on workshop with a local pizzaiolo: the dough, traditional ingredients and wood fired baking, ending with the pizza your clients made. Late afternoon by the sea along the Lungomare and Castel dell'Ovo, with views of the Gulf and Vesuvius. In the evening, an optional dinner in a traditional trattoria or an evening of classic Neapolitan songs.
Day 3
Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
A full day of ancient history and volcanic landscapes. A guided exploration of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, the Roman city buried by the eruption of AD 79: the Forum, streets, houses, frescoes and public buildings. A traditional Campanian lunch near Pompeii, then Mount Vesuvius National Park and, depending on weather and access, a walk towards the crater with a view of the Bay of Naples. Return to Naples in the evening.
Day 4
Capri: island beauty and Mediterranean lifestyle
By boat or ferry from Naples to Capri: Marina Grande, Capri town and the Piazzetta, and the viewpoints over the Faraglioni.

The Amalfi Coast: Positano, Amalfi and coastal flavours (5 day version)
Positano in the morning, with its colourful houses, narrow lanes, artisan boutiques and sea views. Lunch at a local restaurant, then Amalfi: the historic centre, the Cathedral of Saint Andrew and the town's maritime heritage and, depending on season and availability, a lemon grove or a small producer for a tasting.
