We'll dive into South Italy for 13 memorable days beginning in the eternal city of Rome. From there we'll discover the wild beauty of the Gargano Peninsula and Adriatic Coast. Then we'll meander through the untouristed Basilicata region, the historic 'must-see' sites at Paestum and Pompeii, the jaw-dropping vistas of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast and the raw, untamed energy of Vesuvius and Naples.
