Details
The Amalfi Coast and Southern Italy tour includes 6 days of driving and a free day in Matera.
Cycling on 2 wheels through the elegant Mediterranean towns of Amalfi, Positano and Ravello is unforgettable.
The visions of historic Matera and witnessing the devastation of Pompeii are speechless.
The exciting and picturesque coastal road of the Gargano Promontory in Puglia makes this journey almost surreal.
Traveling the Italian “coast to coast” through the dramatic back roads of the Abruzzo Pennines is one of the gems of the trip!
And once the sun has gone down, kick off your boots and relax in a four star hotel, eating great food, enjoying excellent wine and exploring what the local nightlife has to offer.
Enrico Grassi, Tour Leader and Founder of Hear the Road has spent many hours discovering the horse trails and the extraordinary hospitality to leave you with an adventure holiday that you will always remember with a smile.
The tour starts and ends in Rome which allows for easy planning to extend your visit to this fabulous city if you wish.
