Discover the Unesco World Heritage site of Napoli and the birthplace of pizza
Food tends to sit at the centre of any trip to Italy, and nowhere more so than in Naples.
This journey focuses on the south, starting in Naples and moving along the coast towards Sorrento, with time in Pompeii and the option to explore Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
Begin in Naples, a city layered with history and known for some of Italy’s most recognisable dishes. Spend time in its historic centre, moving through narrow streets and local markets, with experiences that go beyond the obvious, from traditional pizza-making to cooking alongside local hosts.
From here, continue to Pompeii to explore the vast archaeological site set beneath Mount Vesuvius, before heading to Sorrento.
Along the coast, time is shaped around the region’s food and setting. Learn to prepare local dishes, explore nearby towns, and take in the landscape from both land and sea.
