This summer our family did what we love most: we travelled the way we plan trips for you. Over three unforgettable weeks in August and September 2026, we slowed down on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, tasted our way through Naples and finished with a week in Paris.
Salt air and lemon groves, cliffside villages, long lunches and more than a few scoops of gelato. Here’s where we went, what we loved, and a sample 18-day itinerary you can borrow for your own Italy and France adventure.
📍 Salerno: 5 days
We began in Salerno, the Amalfi Coast’s relaxed and authentic gateway. Evenings are made for a passeggiata along the palm-lined Lungomare, mornings for espresso in the historic centre, and the ferry port makes it easy to hop over to Amalfi and Positano for the day.
Don’t miss: the medieval Giardino della Minerva and the Romanesque crypt of the Duomo.
🌊 Maiori: 5 days
Next we moved down the coast to Maiori, home to the longest sandy beach on the Amalfi Coast. It’s a true Italian seaside town: lively in the evening, family friendly, and perfectly placed for exploring the villages around it.
Don’t miss: a sunset aperitivo on the seafront and a boat day along the coastline.
🌺 Day trip: Ravello
Perched high above the sea, Ravello is the Amalfi Coast’s most elegant village. Wander the gardens of Villa Rufolo, then take in the breathtaking Terrace of Infinity at Villa Cimbrone, one of the most beautiful views in Italy.
Don’t miss: an evening concert if your visit lines up with the Ravello Festival.
🍇 Day trip: Tramonti
Just behind the coast, Tramonti is a world of green hills and centuries-old pergola vineyards. It’s a wonderful escape for wine lovers, and the town is famous across Italy for producing some of the country’s most celebrated pizza makers.
Don’t miss: a tasting of local Tintore wine.
🍋 Day trip: Minori
Minori is an easy walk from Maiori along the Path of the Lemons, winding through terraced lemon groves with sea views all the way. Once there, explore the ancient Roman villa and treat yourself at Sal De Riso, famous for its lemon pastries.
Don’t miss: a slice of the delizia al limone.
🍕 Naples: 1 day
One day in Naples is never enough, but it’s a delicious introduction. Wander Spaccanapoli, duck into centuries-old churches and eat pizza in the city that invented it.
Don’t miss: a warm sfogliatella from a neighbourhood pasticceria.
🇫🇷 Paris: 7 days
We finished with a full week in Paris, enough time to see the icons and still slow down. Think mornings at the boulangerie, afternoons at the Louvre or in Le Marais, Montmartre at golden hour and an evening cruise on the Seine.
Yes, we can add France (and beyond) to your Italian journey!
