An Overview of the Experience

This tour is not your typical sightseeing jaunt; it’s a long, winding, scenic, and culturally rich adventure through some of southern Europe’s most alluring regions. Over 22 days, you’ll cover around 2730 miles, riding from Croatia’s historic coastal towns through Albania’s rugged landscapes, crossing the Adriatic by ferry, then exploring Italy’s famed Amalfi Coast, and finally venturing into the volcanic landscapes of Sicily.

Ferry to Albania and the Crossing of the Adriatic

One of the tour’s highlights is the ferry crossing from Durrës (AL) to Bari (IT).

The ferry ride includes a night in a double cabin, making the crossing comfortable and restful, prepping you for more riding.

Exploring Italy: The Amalfi Coast and Capri

Once in Italy, the routes wind along the legendary Amalfi Coast—think winding roads hugging cliffsides, picturesque villages with colorful houses, and panoramic views that make every mile worth it.

You’ll also visit Capri, a small island famed for its rugged coastline, luxury vibe, and the iconic Faraglioni rocks. While the tour doesn’t include a private boat tour, the opportunity to explore the island’s scenic beauty on your own or with the group adds to the charm.
