Naples to Sicily

An island that offers a landscape of wild beauty sculpted by wind, sea and the hand of man, this is Capri. With a precipitous, jagged coast, and encircled by the famous faraglioni (sea stacks), enormous and uniquely-shaped boulders, and by numerous caves that tell of evocative plays of light.

This charming vertical village has been my favourite place to visit on the Amalfi Coast, and in the world. The village has a small charm feel, the gorgeous sea, the stunning views at every corner, shops, restaurants, you name it, you just can’t get enough.

Italy’s Amalfi Coast boasts a classic Mediterranean landscape, a sensual blend of both natural and cultural wonders. The breath taking terrain includes dramatic coastline topography scattered with terraced vineyards, orchards, and pastures—often with enchanting views of the vibrant waters below.

Stromboli, a privately owned island that provides excellent snorkelling and diving spots. Stromboli’s ‘Black Giant’’ is a volcano that is currently active and has erupted on many occasions; the last major eruption was on August 29th 2019. Other than breath taking landscapes and natural vistas, Stromboli itself has little to offer. This is when numerous guided walks can be arranged to the summit.

Exclusive and fashionable, Panarea is the smallest of the Aeolian islands and is host to beautiful waters and tranquil vistas. You will spend the day anchored here where you and your guests can spend hours on end playing in the water. In the afternoon dine at the hillside village of Raya, where the view and cuisine will take your breath away. The island’s unique atmosphere and enchanting isolation has made it the ideal destination with some of the world’s jet-setters. You may have the chance to bump into while exploring the inland plazas and cafes, or if you stay to enjoy the intimate nightlife scene.

Idyllically perched on a rocky promontory high above the sea, Taormina has been the most popular tourist destination in Sicily for a couple of hundred of years, ever since it became an integral part of the Grand Tour. Beautifully restored mediaeval buildings, breath taking views around every corner and a giddy network of winding streets strewn with shops, bars and restaurants make for a perfect evening spot.

Catania is an ancient port city on Sicily’s east coast. It sits at the foot of Mt. Etna, an active volcano with trails leading up to the summit. The city’s wide central square, Piazza del Duomo, features the whimsical Fontana dell’Elefante statue and richly decorated Catania Cathedral. In the southwest corner of the square, La Pescheria weekday fish market is a rowdy spectacle surrounded by seafood restaurants.
