FROM BARCELONA TO THE AMALFI COAST

After you arrive at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, you'll be met and transferred to the hotel in one of our vehicles.

The rest of the day will be for relaxation, allowing us to begin enjoying this marvelous city at our own pace.

Barcelona is a city brimming with attractions that invite repeated visits. Open to the Mediterranean Sea and renowned for Gaudí and his modernist architecture, Barcelona stands out as one of Europe's trendiest capitals.

The city is a hub of new trends in the realms of culture, fashion, and gastronomy. It seamlessly blends the creativity of its artists and designers with respect and care for its traditional local treasures. Here, the charm and tranquility of its historic center coexist with the avant-garde essence of its modern neighborhoods and the urban rhythm of one of the most visited cities in the world.

Greca Tip: Beyond the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, Antoni Gaudí's influence permeates the city. Buildings like Casa Batlló and Casa Milà (La Pedrera) showcase his unique and visionary style.

After a delicious breakfast, you can visit the city aboard the double-decker tourist bus (including an audio guide).

The tourist bus offers two different routes to explore and see everything that Barcelona has to offer. With the freedom to hop on and off at any stop, we can explore this bustling and cosmopolitan city at our own pace.

Red Route
You'll tour many of the city center's tourist spots. You'll start in the heart of Barcelona at Plaza de Cataluña, a lively square and the meeting point between the old and new parts of the city. From here, you'll continue along Paseo de Gracia. This elegant boulevard is filled with luxurious boutiques, stunning architecture, and gastronomic establishments.

You'll then pass through some of the most important sites of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics at Montjuïc. This picturesque tree-covered hill is one of the city's most famous landmarks. At the top, you'll find fantastic views, the spectacular Montjuïc Castle, and the National Art Museum of Catalonia, known for housing the world's best collection of Romanesque art.

The tour continues through the Medieval Gothic Quarter, the Plaça de Rei, where, according to legend, Columbus met with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella upon his return from the New World.

Blue Route
You'll explore the northern part of the city, where we'll find Antoni Gaudí's most famous works. One can't speak of Barcelona without mentioning the incomparable Sagrada Familia.

Barcelona is a culinary paradise, offering a wide range of traditional Catalan dishes, as well as a modern and creative culinary scene. Markets like La Boquería are excellent places to sample tapas and savor the freshness of local produce.

The city boasts beautiful beaches like Barceloneta, where locals and visitors alike enjoy the sun and the Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, the nightlife is lively, with numerous bars, clubs, and venues to enjoy throughout the night.

It's a culinary delight that shouldn't be overlooked during your time in Barcelona!

At the agreed time and after breakfast, you will be transferred to the Internacional Airport El Prat-Barcelona to take our flight to Naples.

After our arrival to this beatiful Italian city, we will be transferred to our hotel and we will have some free time to lunch.

Your tour of the incredible Archaeological Site of Pompeii begins with the pickup from the main hotels in the city center of Naples and at the scheduled meeting points.

After a 30-minute drive, you will arrive in Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The guide will welcome you and help you with the purchase of the tickets. When you enter the site, you will hear the most interesting stories about Pompeii and what life was like before the eruption of Vesuvius.

You will also discover the most important places, such as the thermal baths, the frescoes of the Lupanare, the Macellum with its "taverns", the famous workshops located in the commercial streets, the Basilica, and the House of Faun.

You will have the opportunity to take photos during the different stops. The tour inside the ruins will take about 1 hour and a half. The exact route will depend on the number of visitors and the weather conditions.

You will be transferred back to Naples, where your tour will come to an end.

Greca Tip: This tour takes place throughout the year, and you should wear clothes and footwear based on the day's weather.

After a delicious breakfast, you will travel along the Italian coast, and our guide will allow the group to get off and take beautiful photos of the landscape.

One of the stops will be in a factory where “Limoncello” and other delicious local products are made. Enjoy 1-hour free time in Sorrento to stroll through the picturesque and narrow streets and admire the countless artisan shops. At this point, the tour will leave the bay of Naples and the coast of Sorrento to approach to Amalfi Coast.

You will reach Positano and you will stop in the downtown. This tour to Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi includes a stop in a sought-after restaurant with a breathtaking terrace overlooking the sea as well.

After the lunch break, you will reach Amalfi, the most important town on the coast. Once in Amalfi during our free time of 1 hour, we suggest visiting the stunning and evocative St. Andrew’s Cathedral or lying down on the beach and tasting a local handmade ice cream.

After lunch, we will visit Capri and the Augustus Gardens. In the late afternoon, we will return to Naples by hydrofoil.

Capri is an island in the Bay of Naples, famous for its rugged scenery, exclusive hotels, and commerce, from designer fashions to limoncello and handmade leather sandals.

One of its best-known natural sites is the Blue Grotto, a dark cavern where the sea shines with an electric blue color, the product of sunlight passing through an underwater cave. In the summer, Capri's spectacular cove-lined coastline attracts many yachts.

Greca Tip: Don't forget to bring your camera to capture these wonderful landscapes.

After breakfast, our tour will end, hopefully, full of unforgettable memories!
