0115 9404 303School Italian trip to Naples and Sorrento
Naples and Sorrento is one of Italy’s most popular destinations and many Italian language groups return again and again.
Bustling Napoli, capital of the Campania, is set on the beautiful Bay of Naples and is overshadowed by Mt Vesuvius. The historic city of Naples is a cultural heritage site with narrow alleyways leading to mysterious churches, catacombs and underground caves. Naples is also the gateway to other destinations such as the island of Capri and Sorrento. Sorrento is located over steep white cliffs and offers breathtaking and spectacular views of the sun setting over the bay of Naples. This area also lends itself to language trips with the opportunity to visit Mt Vesuvius and the buried towns of Pompeii and Herculenium.
