Colours of Amalfi (Family)
The Amalfi Coast is one of the world's most beautiful playgrounds, with sparking azure seas and spectacular jagged peaks alive with the colour and fragrance of wildflowers. With its curving contours, the whole area offers stunning views at every turn and is dotted with small towns and villages, all with thousands of years of history. The peninsula is a mountain chain in the middle of the sea and is the perfect spot to do both land and water based activities in areas of unrivalled beauty. Starting our journey in Naples we make our way to the lost city of Pompeii, where we explore the streets and imagine what life must have been like 2,000 years ago. We climb Mount Vesuvius and enjoy a walk around this volcano that set off probably the most famous eruption ever. We also put our culinary skills to the test by learning how to make pizza! Our walking adventure takes us into the heart of the Amalfi region, enabling us to walk on little-known trails, meet local people and discover hidden corners. The Amalfi Coast is the perfect place for you and your family to soak up the spirit of Italy!
