» Puglia excursions -Puglia constitutes the heel of the boot represented by peninsular Italy. The "trulli" of Alberobello, the Gargano peninsula and the Eastern atmosphere of the mercantile cities define the portrait of an ancient territory, marked both by the architecture of its churches and of its castles, which are scattered throughout the western region.
» Amalfi Coast excursions -Along the "interesting" road south from Naples, you'll wind through one breathtaking vista after another, passing through Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and on to Salerno. This is the land of Enchanted April, of warm blue seas and perfumed evenings, of history both living and ancient, and of sunsets that will stay with you forever.
» Capri excursions -Twenty miles from Naples, rising abruptly out of the azure gulf, is the little island of Capri, its shape something like a gigantic hour glass. It seems to exercise a peculiar fascination on all visitors to Naples, and few can withstand the temptation of braving the not always pacific Bay of Naples, in order to visit the island which has inspired so many pens. The special characteristic of the Capri climate is the softness and mildness of the atmosphere. Without being actually relaxing, it is not so stimulating as the Riviera climate. It is also very equable, and there is no unwholesome chill at sunset, as in the former place, or even at Naples, only twenty miles off.
» Ischia excursions -Ischia hotels, villas, bed & breakfast and apartments. Tours and restaurants. Holiday range from budget to luxury.
» Naples excursions -In Naples, all the pride and resentment of the Italian south, all the historical differences between the two wildly disparate halves of Italy, are sharply brought into focus. This is the true heart of the mezzogiorno, a lawless, petulant city that has its own way of doing things. It's a city of extremes, fiercely Catholic, its streets punctuated by bright neon Madonnas cut into niches, its miraculous cults regulating the lives of the people much as they have always done.
» Positano excursions -Positano was once part of the powerful Republic of Amalfi, and played its part in international trading despite the lack of a harbour. Surviving Saracen raids, the town thrived and in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was famous for its trading with the East. Impressive palazzi were built; several are now romantically crumbling, others have been converted into luxury hotels. With the onset of the industrial revolution, harbourless Positano could not compete with rival ports, and had to wait until the birth of the tourist industry to regain its wealthy status.

» Umbria excursions -Called the land of shadows, Umbria is often covered in a bluish haze that evokes an ethereal painted look. Many local artists have tried to capture the province's special glow, with its sun-dappled hills, terraced vineyards, and miles of olive trees.
