Ten day southern Italy itinerary

Southern Italy gives more value for money than the north, but demands more patience. The roads are narrow, journey times run longer than the app promises, and the season changes the experience completely. Anyone planning it like a standard European city break usually comes away disappointed.

The shape of the route

  1. Days 1 to 2, Naples
  2. Day 3, Pompeii or Herculaneum
  3. Days 4 to 6, the Amalfi coast
  4. Days 7 to 9, Puglia
  5. Day 10, heading back

This is the outline only. The detail of each day, the order of the sights, opening hours, real travel times and food recommendations, is built for you around your dates and your pace. Get the full itinerary
