Still Traveling: Italy’s Campania Coast

Still Traveling

Would you like to still travel? Now you can without leaving your home – just stay still!

Let us whisk you away for an "armchair adventure" on an interesting, educational, fun & live, guided group tour in a destination beyond your front door ...even beyond the grocery store!

Forget the long, masked airplane ride, we take you across the time zones by Zoom where a local professional guide from a distant destination will take us to explore sites or topics. Live Q&A, photos, graphics & video clips (when available) will transport us to the destination!

Your ticket purchase helps support our special guests – professional guides – who are mostly or completely out of work.

Back by popular demand with an all-new series, our delightful, professional, local guide -- Antonella -- offers four new virtual “trips” to discover favorite areas beyond her hometown of Napoli (Naples), which is the gateway to fabulous, southern Italian treasures for those who venture beyond it.

Trip leader James Sokol hosts these four interesting and beautiful journeys to the destinations listed below.

Our Virtual “Trips” in Southern Italy Include:

Captivating Capri (Jan 10)

Sail from the port of Naples for the charming isle of Capri. Reach the island’s Marina Grande Port and head to the top of the mountain, by convertible taxi, to visit Anacapri. See some of its breathtaking views overlooking the Faraglioni Rocks and stroll the charming pedestrian streets by its elegant shops. Stay tuned for some of the other hidden treasures of this beautiful paradise.

Enchanting Ischia & Picturesque Procida (Jan 17)

Set sail for two lesser-known islands, conveniently accessed from Napoli. See why visitors love Ischia’s lush, green vegetation; learn about its thermal swimming pools, heated by the island’s active volcano. Hop over to and visit Procida; an unspoiled haven with watercolor houses so enchanting that it has become the real-life set for famous movies such as The Talented Mr Ripley.

Along the Sorrento Coast (Jan 24)

Head down the coastline south Naples, along 15 miles of panoramic road. Discover little villages from Castellammare di Stabia to the town of Sorrento, while passing olive trees and lemon groves along the way.

Along the Amalfi Coast (Jan 31)

The coastline facing the Gulf of Salerno is probably one of the most famous coastlines in all of Europe (can we dare say, “in the world?”). See the houses clinging to the hillside, the farmed terraces and the watchtowers; experience the medieval charm of Amalfi and more features of this splendid coast.

Registrants are requested to make sure the email w/link has arrived by the evening of Sat, Jan 8th. If the email does not arrive, please see "Troubleshooting" below.

The email w/link will be re-sent to all registrants about 2-hours prior to the first tour. NB: However, if it landed somewhere other than in your inbox the first time, it will probably do the same later.

Troubleshooting: We will do our best to remedy any issues. Registrants who have NOT received the email w/link are asked to check their email "junk" and "spam" folders. If found, please move the email to your inbox. If the email/link is still not there, please contact James (see below) immediately.

Late Troubleshooting: We will try our best - but cannot guarantee - help with Zoom links to guests contacting James less than 2-hours prior to the event.
