Amalfi Coast,
Italy
Drift past the brightly coloured, terraced towns overgrown with lush
purple and magenta bougainvillea and sub-tropical greenery, and following
the impossibly steep sandstone streets from the craggy peaks all the way
down to the golden sandy beaches adorned with sun lounges and further out,
little paddle boats for hire.
Dive off your luxury yacht and swim into the shore, drying off in the warm
sun before escaping the mid-summer heat in the shade of a Gelati bar!
Your trip starts in the bustling, manic city of Napoli, renowned for
making simply the best pizza anywhere, and gateway to the incredible lost
city of Pompeii, discovered deep under a sea of hardened volcanic ash that
is now being meticulously dug away with teaspoons and brushes to discover
an ancient roman city, captured in time as it was at 18AD.
After the madness of Napoli, sail across azure sea to the magical island
of Capri, where, anchoring in a secluded bay, its just you, your friends
and a friendly mountain goat living halfway up the dramatic cliff above
you!!
As you then sweep around the Amalfi Coast itself, take care as you pass
the mythical islands of Il Gallo Lungo, La Castellucia and La Rotonda, the
three sisters that are said to have claimed hundreds of ships by luring
them to destruction on their rocky shores with their beautiful song..
You will simply fall in love with this beautiful, ancient part of the
world.
