Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight Flight
You’re mere hours away from Italy. Try to snooze, but if you’re having trouble, try counting the number of Margherita pizzas and scoops of gelato you’ll consume this week.
Day 2: Arrive in Naples + Welcome Dinner
Benvenuto in Italia! A week of soaking up the southern Italian sun is about to give you LIFE. Need something more immediately life-giving post flight? Espresso is the answer (and fortunately it’s everywhere) but make sure to follow the local custom—sip a glass of water to cleanse your palate, stir your espresso gently from the bottom to the top, and enjoy it standing at the counter or sip while sitting down. No to-go cups!
- Arrive at the airport and meet up with your Tour Director and fellow travelers before heading to your accommodations.
- Find a cafe. Sip espresso following the above directions. Repeat.
- Get to know your group over an included Welcome Dinner of authentic local cuisine.
