An exclusive and unforgettable Gay Naples, Capri, Positano & Amalfi Coast Vacation! Join us on an amazing vacation, in Naples and around its wonderful coastline. This unforgettable gay group holiday will commence in Naples, home to the best coffee and pizza in the world: a tour of this lively city will make you fall in love with it! We will then move to the charming city of Sorrento, world-famous for its romantic atmosphere. From there we will make our way to the Amalfi Coast and to the island of Capri, re-known for its beaches and the stunning faraglioni.
Naples - Italy's third-largest city is one of its oldest, most artistic and most appetising. Naples' centro storico (historic centre) is a Unesco World Heritage Site, its archaeological treasures are among the world's most important, and its swag of vainglorious palaces, castles and churches make Rome look positively provincial. Many people dream about paradise island Capri. Here you find romantic restaurants and pleasant walks through spice scented landscapes. Capri was the stomping ground of the jet set in the 50s and 60s with Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth and Greta Garbo as faithful visitors. Capri is an exclusive holiday destination with steep cliffs, clear water, picturesque villages and beautiful views. Deemed an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape by Unesco, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's most piercing destinations. Here, mountains plunge into the sea in a nail-biting vertical scene of precipitous crags, cliff-clinging abodes and verdant woodland.

Day 3
Today, after breakfast, your Vacation leader, Sergio, will take you to Herculaneum. Less known than the nearby Pompeii, Herculaneum is one of the few ancient cities covered by the ashes of the eruptions of the Vesuvius Volcano, thus it is nowadays preserved nearly intact. You will discover a unique wealthy city, once upon a time a seaside retreat for rich Romans.
During a 2-hour stroll you will discover thermal baths, shops and luxurious houses featuring eccentric masterpieces with an elaborate use of marble cladding.
After lunch, returning to Naples, you will be free to spend the rest of the afternoon at your own leisure.

Day 4
Today is a free day: spend the time as you wish and explore the area at your own pace. Your host will be around to offer advice and guidance as needed.
Many will appreciate this free time to pay a visit to Pompeii and its historical ruins. Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried in the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
If history is not your thing your host will be happy to lead an Optional Visit to the largest island in the bay of Naples, Ischia. The island is considered by many to be the most beautiful, though Capri is considerably more famous. It is volcanic in origin and still classed as an active volcano. No worries, though, it has not erupted since 1302!
