In the afternoon, we will transfer together from Naples Airport to our accommodation in Agerola. The family-run hotel is located in the quiet district of San Lazzaro, high above the coastline. After checking in and exploring the town, we will meet for our first dinner together, featuring regional specialties prepared by the hotel kitchen. To kick off the culinary journey, head chef Nicola will treat us to some exceptional pizza creations.

To get acquainted with the region, we'll take a bus to Nerano (2 hours). From there, the hike leads along narrow nature trails to Punta Penna, offering magnificent views of Punta Campanella, the Faraglioni of Capri, and the Amalfi Coast. A highlight is the unspoiled Ieranto bay, perfect for swimming in its crystal-clear waters. After hiking back to Nerano, we will stop in Sorrento on the return journey. The picturesque old town is spectacularly perched on a rock above the sea and can be explored individually or together with the tour guide.

After breakfast, we'll set off directly from the hotel on our hike through the Pino Valley to Furore. The trail initially leads gently along the mountain slopes and through shady sections of forest, later traversing rockier and steeper passages. Mediterranean herbs fill the air with their fragrance along the way, while lizards and butterflies enliven the landscape. We continue along old mule tracks towards Praiano, passing grottos with bizarre rock formations, until we reach the bathing bay of Marina di Praia. There is plenty of time there for a refreshing swim or a cool lemonade before taking the bus back to Agerola.

Today, there is an option to take a day trip to Pompeii. Early booking before your trip is recommended, as visitor numbers are limited and tickets are often sold out on site. The excursion costs €105 per person and includes travel in a private bus, entrance to the excavation site, and an approximately 3-hour guided tour in German for our group. Minimum number of participants: 6 people. Registration is binding; the excursion usually takes place even in bad weather and is non-refundable. (In the event of cancellation by the organizer, a full refund will be issued.) Alternatively, the day in Agerola is free for you to relax in cafes or take a trip to the sea. Important information regarding the optional day trip to Pompeii: If you'd like to take the optional excursion to the unique ancient archaeological site, it's best to book it well in advance of your trip. Getting tickets on-site can be difficult at short notice, as visitor numbers are limited each day. Please note that registration for the optional excursion is binding. The excursion will generally take place even in bad weather and is non-refundable. Should we exceptionally have to cancel the excursion at short notice or due to insufficient participants, you will of course receive a full refund.

From Amalfi, we'll take a speedboat (approx. 1 hour) to the island of Capri, a dream destination for many travelers. Away from the main tourist trails, we'll hike from the port up the steep "Phoenician Steps" to Anacapri and continue along a path to Monte Solaro (590 m). At the top, a magnificent panoramic view opens up, stretching all the way to Mount Vesuvius. Those who wish can take the chairlift back down to Anacapri, where the Church of San Michele impresses with its famous majolica tilework depicting paradise. We then take a public bus to the town of Capri. There, the piazza and hidden squares invite you to stroll around. In the evening, the speedboat takes us back to Amalfi, passing picturesque coastal towns, before the bus takes us to the hotel.

Perhaps the most famous hiking trail on the Amalfi Coast is the "Sentiero degli Dei" – the "Path of the Gods" – which runs high above the coast from Bomerano to Positano. After breakfast, the public bus takes us to Bomerano. From there, we hike along old connecting paths with some stone steps through fragrant wildflower meadows, first to Nocelle, a village above Positano, and then on to Monte Pertuso, named after a rare rock formation. We descend via steps to Positano, where the colorful houses create the typical Amalfi Coast scene. A swim in the sea or a stroll through the picturesque town rounds off the day before the bus takes us back to the hotel.

After breakfast, we'll take a bus for about an hour to Ravello. There, we'll visit the cathedral with its impressive mosaics and the historic Villa Rufolo with its gardens, which offer a fantastic panoramic view of the sea and the towns of Maiori and Minori. We'll walk through flowerbeds, past palm trees and picturesque ruins, up to the tower, accompanied by the soft sounds of Wagner's music. Afterwards, there will be time to stroll through the small town and soak up the atmosphere with a limoncello in the cathedral square. Afterwards, we hike down to Amalfi. The path leads along steps and small lanes through the densely wooded Valle dei Mulini, with its ruins of former mills, small waterfalls, and rich flora. In Amalfi, you will have free time, for example, to visit the cathedral.

Agerola is situated on a high plateau and comprises six hamlets. Today is yours to explore the area at your leisure. Consider visiting small farms, for example, where you can see the production of Limoncello or Fior di Latte, a regional mozzarella specialty. Agerola is renowned for its dairy products. Alternatively, you could take a hike in the surrounding area. Your tour guide will be happy to provide tips and recommendations.

After packing our suitcases, we continue on to Naples. En route, a leisurely hike awaits us along the crater rim of Monte Somma on Mount Vesuvius. From here, we'll enjoy spectacular views of the volcano, Herculaneum, and the Bay of Naples (approx. 6 km, 2.5 hours, approx. 150 m ascent and descent). Afterwards, we check into our centrally located hotel in Naples and take a short stroll through the city. The old town impresses with its history, colors, aromas, and beautiful location on the gulf. The evening can be spent relaxing in a typical local restaurant.

Depending on your departure time, there may be time for one last stroll through the old town. Afterwards, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight to Germany. Alternatively, if you choose to extend your stay, you could visit the islands in the Gulf of Naples or spend a few extra days in the vibrant city. Regarding travel dates
