 Join us on the Definitive Gay Summer Tour of Italy: 7 days, 6 nights of pure bliss in Rome, Naples, Capri & Amalfi Coast. This unforgettable holiday will start in Rome, where you will discover the historical charm of the Capital of Italy. After, we will head to Naples, where we will admire the beauty of this seaside city, before making our way to Sorrento, our base for a 2 nights. From there we will make our way to the Amalfi Coast and to the island of Capri, world famous for its beaches and the stunning faraglioni.
Rome is the capital city of Italy. Known as the “Eternal City”, the largest place in the country is always considered one of the world’s most LGBTQ tourist destination and is home to some important UNESCO World Heritage Site, including ruins, grand palaces and famous churches. Nowadays, Rome attracting thousands of visitors per year. Despite having a gritty reputation, especially in the past few years, Rome offers beautiful architecture, a huge choice of shops and a modest gay life.
Naples - Italy's third-largest city is one of its oldest, most artistic and most appetising. Naples' centro storico (historic centre) is a Unesco World Heritage Site, its archaeological treasures are among the world's most important, and its swag of vainglorious palaces, castles and churches make Rome look positively provincial. Many people dream about paradise island Capri. Here you find romantic restaurants and pleasant walks through spice scented landscapes. Capri was the stomping ground of the jet set in the 50s and 60s with Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth and Greta Garbo as faithful visitors. Capri is an exclusive holiday destination with steep cliffs, clear water, picturesque villages and beautiful views. Deemed an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape by Unesco, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's most piercing destinations. Here, mountains plunge into the sea in a nail-biting vertical scene of precipitous crags, cliff-clinging abodes and verdant woodland.
