Puglia, Basilicata & Amalfi Coast, Italy

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Puglia, Basilicata, and the Amalfi Coast make up one of southern Italy's most diverse and rewarding travel corridors, stretching from the heel of the Italian boot to the dramatic cliffs of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Puglia is famed for its whitewashed hilltop towns like Alberobello and Ostuni, its distinctive trulli architecture, ancient masserie, and long stretches of Adriatic coastline. Landlocked Basilicata draws visitors to the UNESCO-listed sassi cave dwellings of Matera, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. The Amalfi Coast offers iconic scenery of vertiginous cliffs, pastel-coloured villages like Positano and Ravello, turquoise waters, and a celebrated food and wine culture that draws travellers from across the globe.

Puglia, Pompeii & Amalfi — Self-Launched 6-Day Independent Version

A self-launched version of On The Go Tours' 6-day Rome–Puglia–Amalfi loop, done entirely on public transport and self-booked stays. You'll cover the same ground — Montecassino Abbey, Trani, Alberobello's trulli, Lecce's Baroque old town, Otranto and Gallipoli, UNESCO Matera, hilltop Castelmezzano, Sorrento and Positano, a Vesuvius crater hike and Pompeii — but using Trenitalia/Frecciarossa trains, regional buses and the Campania ferry network, booking sites directly, and eating where locals eat. Costs below are rough backpacker/budget-traveller estimates per person in GBP (Italy is a Western Europe price point: budget guesthouses ~£30-45/night in a twin, food ~£20-30/day, transport ~£20-25/day). Expect to walk a lot, carry a daypack, and book Vesuvius/Pompeii and Matera sites online a few days ahead in high season.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Puglia, Basilicata & Amalfi Coast, Italy yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
