Amalfi coast and Sicily

9 days Luxury Yacht Charter Experience

The Amalfi Coast and Sicily offer vertiginous coastlines and volcanic retreats.

Italy has long been a magnet for travellers attracted to its glorious culture and artistic heritage, beautiful countryside and wonderful food. From the chic islands of Capri and Ischia, to Sicily and the neighbouring Lipari Islands, explore this graceful stretch of coastline by yacht.

Naples - Ischia

Day 1

Cruise through the Bay of Naples to the island of Ischia. Ischia is the largest island in the bay and is considered by many to be the most beautiful. Visit the boutiques and restaurants around the small fishing village of San Angelo, and unwind in the thermal spas of this volcanic island.
If you prefer to make straight for the beach, then head to Chiaia beach in Forio, which is perfect for children, or the 'Spiaggia degli Inglesi' which will put some distance between you and the crowds of the town.

Capri' s main harbour is a colourful village with Roman and Byzantine remains. A cable car takes you to central Capri in a matter of minutes. In the heart of town, the famous Piazzetta is a hive of activity, crowded both day and night, packed with cafés. Standing proud over the Piazzetta is the Baroque dome of Santo Stefano.
On the slopes of Monte Solaro is the second town of the island, Anacapri.
Here you can visit the Villa San Michele, home of the Swedish physician Axel Munthe, the excavations at the imperial villa of Damecuta and of course, appreciate the magnificent view from the top of the hill.

Further down the coast is the traditional fishing village of Amalfi, boasting past glories as a maritime state.
