Fall 2024 Junior Journey to Italy (Rome, Sorrento, Positano, & the Amalfi Coast)
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Rome and the Amalfi Coast, where history, culture, and breathtaking scenery come together. In Rome, explore the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, where you will experience the legacy of the Roman Empire. Stand in awe of the ancient ruins and marvel at the engineering feats of the past. As you wander through the streets of Rome, you'll encounter countless architectural wonders, museums, and art galleries. During your tour of the Vatican, you will witness the beauty of Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel, and will have the opportunity to explore the history and majesty of St. Peter's Basilica.
From Rome, you'll travel south to the stunning Amalfi Coast, with our second leg of the journey anchored in the charming town of Sorrento, perched atop a cliff overlooking the sea. With its colorful buildings and cobblestone streets, Sorrento is the perfect introduction to the region. We'll visit the picturesque town of Positano, known for its pastel-colored houses and stunning beach. Take in the beauty of the coastline as you explore the narrow alleys and charming shops. Finally, we will visit the beautiful town of Amalfi and will take a tour of the famous lemon groves, followed by an afternoon cooking class with our incredible hosts.
Throughout your tour, savor the flavors of the region, from fresh seafood to the famous limoncello liqueur. Marvel at the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast, with its rugged cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and quaint seaside towns. Immerse yourself in the history and culture of Rome, the Eternal City, and experience the charm and beauty of the Amalfi Coast on this unforgettable journey.

Syllabus & Itinerary
You can click here for a PDF of the syllabus and itinerary. Please note that the itinerary says "tentative". While the trip is fully planned and booked (including the hotels and tours), we are still over six months out, which means things can change. I do not expect any major (or even minor) changes, although it always feels prudent to include the word, "tentative."
