Day 2: Relaxing on Ischia Island

Nicknamed the “Green Island” for its lush hills and vineyards, Ischia mixes volcanic landscapes with village charm. Swim at beaches like Maronti, Citara, and Lacco Ameno, or slip into the secluded bays of Sorgeto, Cafiero, and Bagnitiello, some only accessible on foot or by boat.

Spend your day between hot springs, sea dips, and strolls through sleepy hamlets. When the sun sets, head to the port for local wine, fresh seafood, and a side of Neapolitan song.

Ditch the main Ischia beaches and head to Sorgeto Bay for a natural hot spring soak, right in the sea. Tucked below the village of Panza, it’s a rocky cove where thermal water bubbles up through the seabed, mixing with the cooler seawater. The result? Your own open-air hot tub, no spa ticket needed.

Day 3: Transfer and ferry to Positano. Pompeii walking tour

A private transfer and scenic ferry to Positano set the tone for your Amalfi Coast trip. Soak up the sea views as you arrive, then wander narrow lanes packed with boutique shops and cliffside cafés.

You’ll meet your guide at the entrance, and walk through homes, temples, and frescoed villas, frozen in time by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. It’s a raw, unforgettable glimpse into daily Roman life.
