ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
On the heels of our Food and Wine Tour in Sicily, we chose to hang out in Sicily for a few more days and explore parts of the island that weren’t included in the tour, especially the Greek temples in Agrigento.
One of the highlights of our trip to Italy was the Food and Wine tour of Sicily that we booked for the beginning of our two weeks in Sicily. We were excited to see the island and learn about its culture food and wine.
The one place we couldn’t miss on our tour of southern Italy was Pompeii. From Sorrento, we spent the entire day climbing Mt. Vesuvius, walking around Pompeii, and finally getting lunch at a winery on the side of Mt. Vesuvius.
Another must-do activity when in the Naples area is to take a trip to the Amalfi Coast. We hired an English-speaking driver for the day and set off bright and early from our country home in Sorrento.
When in the Sorrento/Naples area, it is almost obligatory to visit the island of Capri. Our host was kind enough to arrange a full-day boat trip from Sorrento to Capri for us.
