Sannio, Amalfi & RomeSeptember 2010
Discover an area of southern Italy, the Sannio, that will remain in your heart forever. Few travelers are aware of the beauty, history, culture and culinary wealth hidden within the folds of the Apennine mountains between Rome and Naples. The Sannio is as much a historical definition as a geographical one and defines the territory that, long before Rome, was the home of a proud tribe called the Samnites. Directly inland from the wonders of Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi coast, this region offers a kind of genuine experience that is fast disappearing along the better known and well worn tourist tracks of Italy. We take you off the beaten path to visit an unexploited Italy.
We begin and end our tour in Rome. Our 3-day stay in the Sannio region will include all of the delights the area has to offer. On leaving the Sannio we arrive in Sorrento and the Amalfi coast renowned for its rugged terrain, scenic beauty, picturesque towns and diversity. The Amalfi Coast is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. On our way back to Rome, we will stop at two of the world’s most impressive archeological sites: Pompeii and Herculaneum. The last two nights are in Rome, “the Eternal City”.
