The trip to the Azores was fantastic. I had an amazing time and it was a very memorable experience! Francesco had clearly done a lot of research before the trip. There was a well-structured and flexible itinerary for each day, ensuring that there was always something to do. He was also incredibly helpful even before the trip began. He assisted with finding the best flight options and provided us with a really great guide of what to bring for the trip. Francesco was also just a genuinely kind and friendly person and made the trip really fun. I would absolutely recommend going on a trip with him and would gladly join another one in the future!

For the Azores trip, Francesco had done a lot of research and for every day there was something organized. It was also flexible, and every trek and water activity was done in a slow and peaceful way. There was never any hurry. Definitely would recommend and even join his next trips, if possible.

Sansevero Chapel Museum

Day 1

The Sansevero Chapel, located in the heart of Naples, is a breathtaking masterpiece of art, mysticism, and ingenuity. Originally built as a private chapel for the noble Sansevero family, it has become one of the city's most iconic cultural landmarks. Inside, you will find an extraordinary collection of sculptures and artworks that blend Baroque artistry with profound symbolism: -"Cristo Velato" (Veiled Christ): The chapel's most famous piece, this stunning marble sculpture by Giuseppe Sanmartino depicts Christ lying under a delicate veil, carved so finely that it appears transparent. The intricate details of the folds and anatomy have captivated visitors for centuries. -Anatomical Machines: A unique and mysterious exhibit of two human skeletons with their circulatory systems preserved in extraordinary detail, offering a glimpse into the scientific curiosity of the chapel's creator, Prince Raimondo di Sangro. -Allegorical Sculptures: The chapel houses several magnificent statues representing virtues, such as Modesty and Disillusion, each created by renowned 18th-century artists and rich in symbolic meaning. -Ceiling Fresco: The ceiling features a stunning fresco, The Glory of Paradise, by Francesco Maria Russo, adding a heavenly touch to the chapel’s interior. The Sansevero Chapel is not just a place of religious devotion but also a testament to the blend of art, science, and esoteric philosophy, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Naples.

L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele

Day 1

Pizzeria da Michele, located in the heart of Naples, is more than just a restaurant—it’s a global icon of traditional Neapolitan pizza. Known as the “Sacred Temple of Pizza,” this historic pizzeria has been serving customers since 1870 and continues to draw pizza enthusiasts from around the world. The menu is famously simple, offering just two classic options: Margherita and Marinara, staying true to the authentic roots of Neapolitan pizza.

Pozzuoli

Day 1-6

We will probably will be located in Puteoli. Pozzuoli is a charming coastal town located just west of Naples, offering a mix of rich history, stunning landscapes, and a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling city center. It is part of the Phlegraean Fields, an area renowned for its volcanic activity and unique natural features, making it a fascinating destination on its own. It will be a good base for working, explore and move to the other attractions.

Bacoli

Day 6

Bacoli and Baia, located along the beautiful Phlegraean coastline, offer a fascinating blend of history, archaeology, and stunning natural landscapes. These two towns are often overshadowed by more famous destinations like Pompeii, but they hold unique treasures for those looking to dive into the rich past of ancient Rome. The Parco Archeologico di Baia is a key highlight of the area, offering a captivating glimpse into the luxurious past of Baia, once a favorite retreat for wealthy Romans. The park is home to an array of ruins, including ancient villas, baths, temples, and a theater, all set against a scenic backdrop of the sea. One of the most fascinating features of the park is the Temple of Venus, along with the remains of the Villa of the Papyri, an ancient Roman villa that was once home to a collection of scrolls and intellectual gatherings. Visitors can walk among the ruins and explore the impressive architecture that showcases the grandeur of Roman leisure and luxury. Perched on a hill overlooking the Gulf of Naples, the Castello di Baia is another significant landmark. Originally built as a defensive fortress during the medieval period, the castle was later transformed into a luxurious residence by various noble families. Today, it serves as both a museum and an exceptional vantage point, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. Inside, visitors can explore exhibits on the history of the region, as well as the many layers of civilization that have shaped it over time. Bacoli and Baia offer a unique experience for those interested in ancient Roman history, stunning coastal views, and off-the-beaten-path exploration. The combination of the archaeological park, the impressive castle, and the submerged city makes these towns a fascinating destination for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone seeking to experience the rich heritage of the Phlegraean Fields.

Mount Vesuvius

Day 6

Mount Vesuvius, one of the most famous and active volcanoes in the world, towers over the Bay of Naples, offering both breathtaking views and a powerful reminder of nature’s force. With a height of 1,281 meters (4,203 feet), it dominates the surrounding landscape, providing a striking contrast between its serene appearance and its violent past. The hike to the summit is relatively easy, taking around 30-40 minutes from the parking area. Once at the top, you are rewarded with sweeping panoramic views of the Bay of Naples, the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida, and the city of Naples itself. On clear days, the sight is truly spectacular, with the blue waters of the Mediterranean contrasting with the volcanic slopes. At the summit, you can peer into the crater, where the fumaroles (steam vents) still emit sulphurous gases, offering a subtle reminder of the volcano’s active nature. Visitors can learn about Vesuvius' eruptions and its volcanic history through informative signs and local guides.

Pompei

Day 6

Pompeii is one of the most famous and significant archaeological sites in the world, offering an extraordinary glimpse into daily life in ancient Roman times. Located near the modern city of Naples, it was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, and its rediscovery in the 18th century has since revealed a remarkably well-preserved city frozen in time. On the fateful day of the eruption, the city of Pompeii was buried under a thick blanket of ash, pumice, and volcanic debris. Many of the inhabitants were caught off guard and perished, while others managed to escape. The city remained hidden for nearly 1,700 years, preserving buildings, artifacts, and even human remains in a state of remarkable preservation. Walking through the streets of Pompeii is like stepping into the past. The archaeological site covers over 160 acres and features a wide array of structures.

Underground Naples

Day 6

Napoli Sotterranea (Naples Underground) is a captivating and historic tour that takes visitors deep beneath the bustling streets of Naples to explore a hidden world of tunnels, chambers, and ancient structures. This fascinating subterranean network reveals a different side of the city, showcasing its long and layered history, from its Greek and Roman origins to its more recent use as a place of refuge during times of war. Visiting Napoli Sotterranea offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich and varied history of Naples from a completely different perspective. The underground journey allows you to connect with the ancient past of this vibrant city while also appreciating how the people of Naples adapted to and survived throughout history. It’s an unmissable experience for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or simply looking to discover the hidden side of one of Italy's most intriguing cities.
