Italy Intensive – Grande Giro
15-day tour of Italy in your own car
In 15 days this tour takes you all the way round the Italian boot, in your own car and at your own pace. The trip begins on Lake Maggiore with a boat trip to the Borromean Islands. Via Genoa you reach the Cinque Terre. Tuscany awaits with Lucca, Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena, and Umbria with the hilltop town of Orvieto. On the Amalfi Coast you drive as far as Sorrento and visit Pompeii at the foot of Vesuvius. You continue to the cave dwellings of Matera and the white town of Ostuni in Puglia. Along the Adriatic you head back north via the Gargano to Fano, with excursions to San Marino and Urbino. A grand Italian experience, from the Alps to the heel of the boot.
