Seductive Southern Italy

Who doesn’t love Italian food? This 10-day tour along the most glorious towns and cities of Italy’s east and west coasts will naturally feature plenty of gelato stops, pasta dinners and shots of limoncello. We’ll start in the home of pizza itself, the ancient city of Naples, where you’ll be treated to an incredible street food tour of the city. As well as gobbling down the best slice of your life, expect to fall in love with aubergine parmigiana, as well as a range of incredible pastries, most notably sfogliatelle, a multi-layered puff pastry delight filled with sweet ricotta and dusted with a generous serving of icing sugar. Other tastebud-tantalising experiences will include an olive oil tasting at a world class Puglian farm, and an incredible farewell dinner in Lecce.
