14 Days: A Spiritual Journey to Southern Italy & Sicily-
Pompeii, Sorrento,Siracusa, Taormina, Pale
DAY 1: DEPART USA
We depart the USA en route to Rome, with complimentary meals and
beverages
served aloft.
DAY 2: ARRIVE ROME / SORRENTO
We arrive in Rome and are met by our Catholic Travel Centre
representative.
Boarding our motor coach we depart Rome for the lovely old town
of Sorrento.
Sorrento can trace its ancestry back to the Etruscans. You can
stroll the old streets
where the shop windows display "intarsia", fine pictures done
with inlaid woods. At the
end of our visit you'll understand why "Come Back to Sorrento"
ranks as one of the
most familiar songs in the world. Dinner is at our hotel.

DAY 3: SORRENTO: POMPEII EXCURSION
Today we make our way to Pompeii, best known for its burial! The
town was buried on
August 24 in the Year 70 AD, when Mount Vesuvius erupted. The
town of Pompeii
was damaged mostly by the layers of ash after the eruption,
whereas the nearby
Herculaneum (which appears to have been a wealthy resort area at
the time), was
buried in mud. We will visit the ruins, then make our way the
Basilica of Our Lady of
the Rosary in Pompeii, where we celebrate Mass. We return to
Sorrento for dinner
and a special Tarantella Show. (B, D)
DAY 4: SORRENTO / AMALFI / SALERNO /PAESTUM / CONSENZA
/REGGIO
CALABRIA
This morning we enjoy a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast, one
of the most striking
drives in all of Europe. In Amalfi we visit the Cathedral and
celebrate Mass at the
tomb of St. Andrew. After Mass, we continue on to Salerno, site
of the Allied invasion
in September 1943. Next we visit the ruins of the "Lost City" of
Paestum, site of the
best preserved Greek temples north of Sicily. Our final stop of
the day is Cosenza,
where we visit the Sanctuary of San Francesco di Paola. The
Sanctuary's primitive
16th century decorations were enriched in the following ages
when the Sanctuary
became more and more important. The Chapel dedicated to the
Saint was made by
Francesco Schiaffino in the 18th century. We continue on to
Reggio Calabria for
dinner and the evening. (B, D)
DAY 5: REGGIO CALABRIA / GIARDINI NAXOS
