Considered an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape by UNESCO, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy’s most intense destinations. Here, mountains plunge into the sea in a nail-biting vertical scene of precipitous crags, cliff-clinging abodes and luxuriant woodlands.
Its string of fabled towns read like a Hollywood ensemble. There’s Positano, a pastel-colored cascade of chic boutiques, spritz-sipping VIPs and sun-kissed sunbathers. Further east, ancient Amalfi tempts with its Arabic-Norman cathedral, while Ravello, on the mountain summit, stirs hearts with its refined villas and its passionate connection with musicians and writers of past centuries. To the west lies Sorrento, gateway to the Amalfi Coast, a handsome cliff-top resort that has inexplicably survived the onslaught of package tourism.
Along with azure seas and picture-postcard piazzas, the region is home to some of Italy’s finest hotels and restaurants. Our tour will encompass all of the above and more, as we also delight in kosher culinary master-classes with one of Italy’s leading chefs while staying at one of the finest and most exclusive villas in the area, the luxurious Oasi Olimpia Relais in romantic Sorrento, which straddles the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples and Mt Vesuvius.
Splendid kosher food, posh, deluxe accommodations, and the most sought after location in Italy. What could be better? Benvenuti!
