Highlights of Southern Italy 8 Days A cultural adventure discovering the essence of true southern Italian hospitality
From Naples, the grand capital of southern Italy, we travel south to the magnificent Greek temples at Paestum. Standing for more than 2000 years, the three temples are quite simply spellbinding. Next we head south into one of Italys best kept secrets Cilento National Park. Here we enjoy a scenic boat journey around the mythical Cape Palinuro, with a chance of a swim in the crystal clear waters. We settle in the charming Marina di Camerota and in the evening we celebrate the food and traditions of the region with a special local dinner. Next we explore the Basilicata region, the real epitome of the deep south. We head to Matera much of this fascinating city lies underground, built into caves and explore the Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano areas where the houses are literally carved out of the cliff faces. We end our tour in the region of Puglia, the heel of Italys boot, and a delightful place to discover, with its whitewashed cottages, unique trulli structures and the gently rolling hills.
