Hidden Treasures of Southern Italy
Vacation Overview
Although Italy is full of wondrous gems across “the boot,” some of its greatest treasures are hidden closer to its heel.

This Undiscovered tour of Southern Italy invites you to kick back and live la dolce vita as you travel from heel to ankle, vineyard to grove, and clifftop to cave. From colorful Naples to the stunning 90-million-year-old caves of Castellana, you will experience Southern Italy 's hottest sights—and coolest. At a special wine tasting at the Manduria wine museum, you 'll raise your glass to the many highlights of “the heel,” including its castles and conical houses, ancient ruins and fresh ricotta, and its eternal sunshine and sunny disposition.PLUS, your tour includes your choice of excursions in Naples so you can plan your day your way.
