TourCrafters Announces Bargain Packages to Amalfi Coast
LIBERTYVILLE, IL, January 24, 2006. There are few places in the world as beautiful or famous as Italy's Amalfi Coast. In addition, it has a pleasantly sunny year-round climate. So it's good news that TourCrafters has organized two bargain-priced breaks through March 30: a 5-day/4-night package for $658 and an 8-day/7-night package for $729. (Four people traveling together and sharing a car will pay only $569 each for the 4-night package.)
Both packages include round-trip air from New York to Naples' Capodichino Airport where a rental car awaits, 5 or 8 days car rental, accommodations at the family-run Hotel Villa Romana in the charming village of Minori on the Amalfi Coast, daily breakfast and dinner, and hotel service charges and taxes (the 7-night break includes a special farewell dinner, as well). Departures from other cities mean higher air fares: Boston, $42; Washington, $66; Atlanta, $48; Miami, $128; and Chicago, $72.
A delightful picture of terraced lemon groves, old churches and antique manor houses-not to mention panoramic views-Minori is also a convenient base for sightseeing. The postcard-pretty towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano, with their enticing shops and restaurants, perch along the scenic Amalfi Drive. The ancient Roman ruins at Pompei and Herculaneum are only a fifty-minute drive inland, and the legendary island of Capri is a pleasant boat ride offshore. The 4-star Hotel Villa Romana, named for a nearby first-century Roman villa, is known locally for its fine Mediterranean cuisine.
All prices are per person, double occupancy, are subject to availability and do not include airport taxes or fuel surcharges. Reservations must be paid for within 72 hours. For more information, visit www.tourcrafters.com . For reservations, call +1-800-482-5995.
