DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN NAPLES → ISCHIA

Arrive on the volcanic island of Ischia and settle into your hotel, where a welcome cocktail sets an easy, sun-warmed tone. The scent of citrus drifts in the evening air as you unwind before dinner. Overnight on the island.

Included:

• Arrive at Naples International Airport (NAP)
• Shared transfer from the airport
• Dinner included
• Night at Parco dei Principi Hotel 4* (or similar)

DAY 2: ISCHIA ⇄ CAPRI

After breakfast, cross the shimmering gulf to Capri, where pale cliffs plunge into cobalt water and the Faraglioni rise sharply offshore. If conditions allow, slip into the luminous blue light of the Blue Grotto, then retreat to the quieter lanes of Anacapri for a chairlift ride up Monte Solaro, where the whole island seems to fall away beneath you. Return to Ischia by late afternoon for dinner and a relaxed evening.

Included:

• Breakfast & dinner included
• Roundtrip ferry transfers to Capri (with landing tax & port transfers)
• Night at Parco dei Principi Hotel 4* (or similar)

DAY 3: ISCHIA

Spend the day in Lacco Ameno, where parasols line the shore and the sea laps quietly at volcanic sand. The distinctive Il Fungo stands just offshore, its rounded form shaped by centuries of wind and tide. Later, wander through the small town before pausing to taste local liqueurs - limoncello, meloncello and herbal rucolino - each carrying a trace of the island’s sunlit slopes.

Included:

• Breakfast & dinner included
• 1 x Limoncello, meloncello & Rucolino tasting included per person per stay
• Night at Parco dei Principi Hotel 4* (or similar)

DAY 4: ISCHIA BOAT TOUR

Circle Ischia by boat, watching its volcanic contours unfold from the water: sheer cliffs, hidden coves and clusters of pastel houses clinging to the shoreline. The rhythm of the waves and the salt in the air give the day a slow, unhurried feel. Return to your hotel for dinner as the light softens over the harbour.

Included:

• Breakfast & dinner included
• 1 x Ischia island boat tour per person per stay
• Night at Parco dei Principi Hotel 4* (or similar)

DAY 5: ISCHIA ⇄ PROCIDA

Choose a quiet day at leisure or take the ferry to Procida, the gulf’s most understated island. In Marina Corricella, pastel houses stack above fishing boats, while narrow lanes lead up to Terra Murata, where old walls frame wide sea views. End the day by the water or over a simple lunch of fresh fish before returning to Ischia for your final evening.

Included:

• Breakfast & dinner included
• Roundtrip ferry transfers to Procida (with port transfers)
• Night at Parco dei Principi Hotel 4* (or similar)

DAY 6: ISCHIA → DEPARTURE FROM NAPLES

By opting for a 7 or 9-night stay, you'll extend your stay in Ischia with extra leisure days to fully immerse and explore at your own pace.

During your stay on the island, you will enjoy accommodation at Parco dei Principi Hotel 4*, or a similar hotel, depending on availability. Your final hotel will be confirmed 7 days before departure and cannot be changed.

Please note: Hotel ratings are based on local standards and may differ from those in the UK. As a result, the level of comfort might vary from what you would expect for a similar category in Britain.

Discover the charm of Procida, known as the “island of colours,” on this half-day excursion from Ischia. Stroll through its picturesque streets, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace, and savour a traditional “lingua di bue” pastry with a cappuccino by the sea.

Enjoy a full-day excursion from Ischia to the glamorous island of Capri, where you can explore its most famous sights at your own pace — from Anacapri and Monte Solaro to the Gardens of Augustus and the iconic Piazzetta.

A dedicated contact person, available 24 hours a day (by phone or WhatsApp), will assist you throughout your stay with advice, reservations, or help in case of unforeseen circumstances. Travel with peace of mind.

The magnificent Isle of Capri rises from the Tyrrhenian Sea, offering an idyllic escape with its lush gardens, clear blue waters, and charming villages. Famed for its natural beauty, Capri captivates visitors from around the globe, from intellectuals to celebrities. The island is a haven of tranquillity and luxury, with narrow lanes winding through vibrant bougainvillaea-covered villas, inviting tourists to experience a timeless blend of nature and opulence.

Must-sees:

• Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto) – A must-visit natural wonder, this cave glows with ethereal blue light, making it one of the island’s most famous attractions.
• Villa Jovis – Explore the ruins of the Roman Emperor Tiberius' majestic palace, offering panoramic views of the island and sea.
• Piazza Umberto I – The lively heart of Capri, perfect for a stroll and enjoying the island’s café culture.

Culinary culture:

Capri’s culinary delights reflect its Mediterranean surroundings, with fresh seafood taking centre stage. Local specialities include insalata caprese, a simple yet delicious salad of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, paired with Capri’s famous limoncello, a lemon liqueur that captures the essence of the island’s fragrant citrus trees. Restaurants often serve dishes featuring local fish and fresh vegetables, making for a vibrant dining experience.

Dive deeper:

Beyond its luxurious image, Capri offers a quieter side. Walk the scenic Path of the Forts for stunning coastal views or visit Anacapri, the more tranquil part of the island. For art enthusiasts, the Museum of Art offers a rich collection of local and international works. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the island’s traditional festivals, where the community comes together to celebrate its rich cultural heritage.

Good to know:

Capri can be reached by ferry from Naples or Sorrento. The ideal time to visit is: spring and early autumn, when the island is less crowded, and the weather is perfect for outdoor exploration. While Capri is compact, walking or using the island’s funicular is the best way to navigate its steep hills and narrow streets.

Procida, the smallest gem in the Gulf of Naples, enchants visitors with its charm and authenticity. With its serene atmosphere and vivid colours, this island is a true escape from the crowds. Wander through narrow streets lined with pastel-hued houses and enjoy a more peaceful, genuine side of Italy, where daily life unfolds at a slower pace.

Must-sees:

• Terra Murata – A walled 15th-century town offering spectacular views and a glimpse of the island’s history.
• Postino Beach – A quiet retreat, perfect for sunbathing or taking in the striking views of dramatic cliffs.
• Marina Corricella – The picturesque harbour area with colourful fishing boats and charming seaside restaurants.

Culinary culture:

Procida’s cuisine is a reflection of its maritime heritage. The island is known for its seafood dishes, including linguine alle vongole (linguine with clams) and impepata di cozze (mussels in black pepper). For dessert, try the island’s signature pastiera, a traditional ricotta and wheat pie. Enjoy these delicacies in one of the many quaint cafes while soaking in the relaxed vibe of the island.

Dive deeper:

Explore the hidden corners of Procida, like the quieter Cala del Pozzo Vecchio where you can experience the island’s natural beauty and tranquillity. Discover local crafts, from hand-painted ceramics to traditional textiles, often found in small artisan shops around the island. The island’s relatively untouched nature means you can enjoy the authentic, unspoilt Italian island life that remains largely unknown to tourists.

Good to know:

Procida is easily accessible by ferry from Naples or Ischia. The ideal time to visit is: spring and autumn, when the island is less crowded, and the weather is perfect for leisurely walks and outdoor dining. Since Procida remains authentically local, be sure to take time to observe the community's rhythms, from the markets to the fish auctions by the shore.
