Southern Italy, what passion!

The Sun Tours

Southern Italy seen through the eyes of famous poets and writers.
Tours of the Literary Parks to learn about the culture of Southern Italy: from the Empire of Greater Greece as explored and described in Homer's Odyssey, to descriptions of Old Calabria given in the travel-writings of Norman Douglas. Also including Goethe and participants in the Grand Tour, and the Sicily of Pirandello and Camilleri's “Inspector Montalbano”.

The art, language, music, dance and cinema of Southern Italy. Visit Puglia on “The Night of the Taranta” and learn how to dance the “pizzica”; enjoy the Festival of Ravello in Campania; experience Sicily as shown in the films of Roberto Rossellini and Luchino Visconti...

Guiding a sailing-boat on your own, joining others for a mini-cruise, going out in a motorized fishing-smack with professional fishermen, drifting along in a romantic caique. Or, diving down in one of Southern Italy's Marine Reserves to explore small, beautiful coves, secret landing-places and the wonderful deep waters off the coast of Southern Italy and its little islands.

Travelling on foot, by bicycle, on horseback. Going on caving expeditions, or practising rafting in a canoe. Ways to enjoy the natural surroundings of Southern Italy: its Natural Parks, paths, grottoes, river estuaries, mountains, volcanoes...

Introducing the unique flavours of the food of Puglia, Campania, Sicily, Basilicata, Calabria and Sardinia. Enjoy and savour them in the cooking of our chefs at the regions' most famous restaurants. Join in wine-tasting at the cellars of our most prestigious wine-producers and sample olive oil at historic oil-mills. Learn to cook and prepare typical Mediterranean dishes by attending cookery courses organized by local housewives in the kitchens of their homes or farmhouses.

Dedicated to all the Italian communities and associations around the world. Come back to visit the parts of Italy from which you originate, or indeed introduce these places to your children.

Your dream of love set in Southern Italy. The religious ceremony, the wedding reception, the honeymoon, or just a romantic or passionate get-away...
You can live your dream; we will be responsible for the practical arrangements.

For those who like living in the glare of the night.
Enjoy the “scene” in the cities of Southern Italy. You can find it in our glamorous discotheques or super-trendy night-clubs. During the day you can live the “dolce vita” at open-air cafés, on the beach, or at the “in” meeting-places.

Dedicated exclusively to women, and made to measure for them. A holiday fulfilling all a woman's wishes, consisting totally of wellbeing, relaxation and care of your body. We use the facilities of spas, thermal resorts and wellbeing centres, offering you massages and face-packs, herbal teas and perfumed baths. Not to forget excellent food, excursions, and provisions for every type of physical activity or personal interest.

For a trip “made to measure” especially for you: totally designed and put together on the basis of your wishes.
