The beauty of the Bay of Naples has been enchanting travellers for centuries, with visitors falling in love with its dramatic coastline, glimmering seas, and pastel-coloured towns. Off the peninsula's immaculate shores, lie the beautiful yet diverse islands of Amalfi: Procida, Ischia and Capri. This 7 night self-guided walking holiday takes you on a discovery of these stunning isles, with the option to extend your time in the area in bustling Sorrento or cosmopolitan Naples. Your first 2 nights are spent on unspoilt Procida, the smallest of the 3 islands and an untouched gem with its multi coloured houses, sleepy fishing hamlets and pretty inlets. From here you head to Ischia, renowned for its thermal spas; the largest of the three islands, it's a walker's paradise with terraced vineyards, lofty mountains, verdant forest and golden beaches aching to be explored. Your last stop is world famous Capri; admire its vistas over the iconic Faraglioni, visit its Roman villas and sip coffee in its elegant piazze, perfect for people watching. Given the island hopping nature of this trip, you are responsible for your luggage when using the ferry and hydrofoil services. Transportation of luggage to and from the hotels and the ports on each island is provided.


Day 1: Travel to Procida
From Naples port, it's a short crossing on the hydrofoil to the island of Procida. We meet you at Procida port and take you to your hotel. Dinner is included at the hotel tonight. You stay at the Hotel Solcalante (breakfast and evening meal included)

Day 2: Explore Procida
Today's walk takes you on a discovery of pint sized Procida, the smallest island in the Gulf of Naples. Set off for the ancient walled citadel of 'Terra Murata'; perched on a promontory gazing out to sea, there's much to explore here including the Abbey of San Michele and the 16th century governor's palace and former prison of Palazzo d'Avalos. Drink in the sea views before heading to the little fishing village of Marina di Corricella, a cluster of brightly coloured houses huddled around its port, that was used on the film set of 'The Talented Mr Ripley'. Your walk ends at the charming harbour and pristine sandy beach at Chiaiolella. For those with more energy, it's definitely worth extending the walk to untouched Vivara, a tiny island and nature reserve linked to Procida by a small bridge. You stay at the Hotel Solcalante (breakfast included)

Day 3: Leaving Procida for Ischia
There is time this morning to explore Procida's northern shores before we take you back to the harbour for the ferry (pay locally) over to Procida's larger neighbour, Ischia. Explore the vibrant marina before making your way to your comfortable 3* hotel housed in a former monastery within the walls of Ischia's ancient castle. This Aragonese stronghold sits on a rocky outcrop gazing out to sea and is accessed via a scenic causeway. You stay at the Hotel il Monastero (breakfast included)

Day 4: Ischia's South Coast
Head south today for a panoramic walk along a steep cliff enjoying stunning views over the Bay of Naples and Capri. Pass through terraced vineyards and traditional hamlets before a descent to the golden sands of Marina dei Maronti. Treat yourself to a dip in the natural thermal waters of Cavascura, which date back to Roman times, before a leisurely walk along the beach takes you to the charming fishing village of Sant'Angelo and your bus back to the hotel. You stay at the Hotel il Monastero (breakfast included)

Day 5: Monte Epomeo
Today you discover Ischia's two highest mountains - Monte Epomeo at 789m, and Capo dell'Uomo (721m). A short bus ride onto the mountain slopes takes the sting out the tail of the ascent, so you continue along gentle paths to Epomeo's summit, and are rewarded with far reaching vistas of the entire Bay of Naples. Descend through lush forest and fertile vineyards, passing ancient hermit dwellings carved from the mountain rock, to the town of Forio on Ischia's western shores. Return to Ischia Town by bus. You stay at the Hotel il Monastero (breakfast included)

Day 6: Capri's South Coast - Villas and Views
Private transfer to Ischia harbour this morning to catch the ferry to stunning Capri (services are Ischia-Naples-Capri in October). Then explore elegant Capri town with its luxury boutiques and bustling cafes. From its vibrant piazzetta, walk past colourful villas with bougainvillea filled gardens to the Roman Villa Jovis, once the residence of the Emperor Tiberius. From here, it's downhill past the Arco Naturale to the famous Faraglioni, 3 sea stacks that stand guard off Capri's southern shores. Leave time to discover the Gardens of Augustus with their panoramic flower-decked terraces en route to the sheltered bay of Marina Piccola. A short bus ride takes you back to your hotel. You stay at the Hotel Senaria (breakfast included)

Day 7: Capri: Monte Solario and the Grotta Azzurra
Take the chair lift up Monte Solario, the highest point on the island and one of the best viewpoints on the trip, to follow a panoramic downhill path to the island's most western lighthouse. Continue along the trail as it hugs the coast, past restored fortresses and tiny coves to the Grotta Azzurra, a natural sea cave with crystalline blue waters. Return to the hotel by bus. You stay at the Hotel Senaria (breakfast included)

Day 8: Leave Capri
We take you back to Capri port for the hydrofoil to Naples
