Your arrival with a visit of Rome
Why the Colosseo on the page ? It’s because when you arrive in FCO Airport, I will take you to Rome for a short visits to the Colosseo, Trevi Fountain, the Sistine Chapel, the Catacombs... to allow you to experience history before jumping aboard the Sailonia Catamaran. It’s a wonderful way to start your adventure.
Marco will be your private tour guide for the day, driving a luxury Mercedes Minivan around the city. Please note all the attractions listed cannot be visited in a half day; so on arrival we will make a list of what you would like to see most.

While cruising we can also do some fishing, hoping for a tuna or swordfish. With a little success our lunch can be a great pasta with fish, or sushi with fresh lemon, along with a bottle of wine from the Tuscan Chianti....
The extreme edge of the Gulf of the Sirens, Procida, with an area of about 4 sq km, is the third largest of the Neapolitan islands. Procida is a succession of colorful houses, ancient buildings, breathtaking views, vineyards, lemon groves, and sandy beaches.
Amalfi Coast Sorrento
Wake up this morning in Sorrento, allowing us to visit the luxurious imperial Villa Giulia, built on a panoramic headland. We’ll tour the island, formerly known as Pandataria, which served as an agricultural estate attached to the villa. The grand palace unfortunately was not destined to be enjoyed by emperors, but instead was a place of exile for high-status prisoners. The first was Augustus's daughter Julia, who was sent here on charges, perhaps false, of treason and adultery. The ruined villa is now known as the Villa Giulia, after its most famous resident, although many prisoners followed her.
