Amalfi & Capri
Prepare to be dazzled by the Amalfi Coast today. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has captivated travellers for centuries, and it's easy to see why. Located south of Sorrento (roughly 20km) in Italy's Campania region, the coastline is a string of charming seaside towns with one colourful villa after another perched on cliffs, adorable boutiques lining the streets, and chic beach clubs overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean.

Capri & Sorrento
Capri’s Italian island allure is timeless and enduring. It’s the perfect place to stroll the winding streets, perhaps stopping in at a local eatery to dine al fresco under twinkling fairy lights. Whilst visiting, we recommend sampling the fresh and fragrant Caprese salad and the delectable limoncello, a local lemon liqueur. Your eyes will naturally be drawn to the dramatic, towering cliffs that define this coastline. Peer a little closer to discover hidden sea caves, such as the magical illuminated Blue Grotto.

Gaeta
In southern Italy's Lazio region, Gaeta sits on a scenic headland jutting out towards the Gulf of Gaeta, making it a favourite holiday spot for many. Explore the wonders of Monte Orlando Park, where ancient Roman ruins stand amidst lush Mediterranean vegetation. Another must-see is Montagna Spaccata, meaning "Split Mountain." Legend has it that a powerful lightning bolt from God split this natural sea grotto, creating three enormous cracks in the mountain. Remarkably, an 11th-century sanctuary still stands here. Take a nearby staircase down to explore the Grotta del Turco marine cave.
