Our tours in Amalfi are an opportunity to transcend the ordinary and delve into enduring experiences that nurture health and wellbeing, physically, mentally, and spiritually. The striking juxtaposition of sea and mountains doesn’t just captivate your senses; it also immerses you in a rich tapestry of living history, myths, and legends.
“Today we tend to place human, natural and divine in sperate mental compartments, and kinship with the whole is considered something that can only be achieved through special circumstances or specific acts of meditation. It is no longer true that such a state of mind is simply taken for granted. That assumption that one is a natural part of a greater whole, fully integrated into the universe, is perhaps the greatest gift that the gods of Greece and Rome gave to their followers.”

Itinerary:
Arrive at the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and check into your luxury hotel. Our private transfers will usher you to Vettica and the esteemed Ristorante Da Ciccio, a family-run gem for generations. The day concludes with welcome cocktails and a sumptuous dinner.
Post-breakfast, a luxurious private boat awaits at Amalfi Harbour to transport you to one of the coast’s most ravishing bays. Enjoy time at one of Italy’s top beaches, followed by a memorable lunch at La Tonnarella, Jacqueline Kennedy’s haunt. Conclude the cruise with a tour of the mesmerising Emerald Grotto, a serendipitous discovery by a local fisherman in the 1930s.
Enjoy waking up to breakfast over views of the Tyrrhenian Sea followed by a private transfer to the quaint town of Bomerano. Today is your opportunity to complete the Path of The Gods trail. After a sample of the delights at Caffeteria Il Ritrovo you will be guided through one of the world’s most scenic walking trails. You’ll gaze upon the Li Galli island, the fabled haunt of mermaids who once seduced Ulysses. The trek culminates in the charming cliff-side village of Nocelle with a reserved lunch at Ristorante Santa Croce. Your afternoon is for relaxing and perhaps a swim before an evening of flavours at Pesce D’Oro in Vettica, renowned for its seafood since 1959.
After conquering The Path of The Gods, today’s agenda is a feast for the senses. A private transfer whisks you to picturesque Positano for a unique cooking class at Marina in Cucina. Prepare a delectable five-course meal under the guidance of Chef and Sommelier Marina Tipaldi, then savour it with selected wines amidst breathtaking terrace views from private Villa Cocles. After lunch you can enjoy a stroll through gorgeous Positano before the day mellows at The Spa at Monastero Santa Rosa, a 17th Century beautifully restored monastery. The day culminates at a truly remarkable restaurant, Terraza Duomo above the lights of Piazza Duomo in the heart of Amalfi.
An early departure sees you boarding a private luxury charter to the enchanting isles of Capri and Ischia. Discover captivating sights like the Faraglioni, Blue Grotto, Anacapri, and Villa San Michele. On Ischia, the thermal springs and majestic Mount Epomeo beckon. The day closes with a sunset cocktail aboard your charter.
Post-breakfast we embark on a guided tour of the enigmatic Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius erupted in the early hours of 25 August 79 CE (AD) with a force 100,000 times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. What remained was a hidden time-capsule of the Roman Empire providing a unique snapshot of life from that era. Refreshments await at Hortus Pompeii Restaurant followed by unwinding by the sea at Lido Capo di Conca back on the Amalfi Coast. The evening promises romance with a dinner at Ristorante Al Mare in Hotel Santa Catarina.
Relish a final breakfast by the sea with some leisure time before departure. Our concierge remains at your service for any travel assistance. We hope the spirit of Amalfi has captured your heart and entered your soul. We always aim to welcome you as our guest and have you depart as a friend. We hope to have you return to The Path of The Gods. Arrivederci, Amalfi – A presto!
