Details

Gulf of Naples and Amalfi Coast

This is a journey that will take place both on land and on water, searching the natural treasures and cultural heritage spotted along the Amalfi Coast and the Gulf of Naples. A cruise on board a ship that has all the style of the ancient gulets, a type of boat that is a legend itself, just as it is the sea under your feet.

It is not just a matter of watching and observing, but a truly active journey intended to combine sailing and relaxing with cycling along the narrow streets of Capri, Pompeii, Procida and Ischia Islands, ending your tour in a spectacular Sorrento.
