DAY 2 - GENEVA TO FLORENCE
After a relaxing breakfast in your hotel you will make your way to the train station for your train to Florence. Your journey takes you through the amazing Simplon Pass while following the Lake Leman shores and across Swiss vineyards, with specatacular views of the Alps in the background. After crossing the border into Italy you will travel further south where you will change in Milan before arriving in Florence. On arrival you will check in to your hotel stay in the Capital of Tuscany. While Florence is a beautiful city it is also one of the most culturally important histories in Europe. You can get a real birds eye view from the tip of Giotto’s bell tower, explore the amazing art collections at the Uffizi or Pitti Palace galleries or event take some time to explore the stunning Boboli Gardens.
DAY 4 - SORRENTO
Take advantage of Sorrento being your gateway to the region and tart your adventures either by bus or by boat to the charming tow of Amalfi. You will find steep hillsides leading down to picturesque shingle beaches with delightful local fishing boats all overlooked by the array of beautifully coloured houses. Sorrento is accessible totally by foot as well with its winding narrow roads and stairs. You can visit the 10th century cathedral and admire the mosaics in the Cloister of Paradise. There really is so much to see and do, but why not finish the days adventure with a drink on the beachfront or at the marina people watching and yacht spotting.
DAY 5 - SORRENTO/ISCHIA
A day to explore the surrounding area with lots of different options at your disposal. You may choose to hop aboard the ferry from Sorrento to the islands in the Bay of Naples. Perhaps visit Ischia and take some time to enjoy the volcanic thermal spas, golden beaches and great food. The well-known island of Capri is also within easy access, however our recommendation is to take a boat out to the quieter islands of Ischia and the spend a day in total relaxation mode. Ischia is a part of the Phlegraean Fields, a volcanic area west of Naples so for a thoroughly indulgent day, check into the Poseidon Thermal Park. The park has 20 pools filled with heated water that is said to have healing properties. There is also a wellness center where you can add on hot stone massages after taking a dip in the mineral waters.
