Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in South Italy

This 10-day photography tour through Southern Italy takes you to some of the region's most photogenic spots. You'll photograph Positano's colorful houses against the Mediterranean, the famous ruins at Pompeii's archaeological park, and Michelangelo's David at Florence's Accademia Gallery.

Shoot the coastal cliffs as you drive the famous Amalfi Coast road from Positano to Ravello, and photograph the Byzantine Cathedral of Saint Andrew. You'll find Sorrento's terraced lemon groves and the peaceful Cloister of San Francesco with its romantic arches worth capturing, plus Capri's chic Via Camerelle shopping area.

Take photos at the UNESCO-listed Royal Palace of Caserta with its baroque fountains and the colorful building facades of Positano that line the coastal cliffs. You'll see volcanic landscapes at a Vesuvian vineyard that produces Lacryma Christi wine, and get shots of the detailed mosaics inside Amalfi Cathedral. Walk through the terraced gardens at Villa Rufolo in Ravello, where you'll find panoramic Mediterranean views that work great for golden-hour photos.

Frame the Path of the Gods' route from Agerola to Positano with sun-drenched cliffs and colorful villages tumbling into the Mediterranean, photograph Capri's Sentiero dei Fortini coastal trail with the Blue Grotto and Villa Damecuta ruins plus Punta Carena Lighthouse views, and shoot Vietri sul Mare's ceramic streets and terraced lemon groves between Maiori and Minori.

At the UNESCO sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, you'll document ancient Roman life preserved by volcanic ash from AD 79, with intricate frescoes and daily artifacts. The Sentiero dei Limoni trail between Maiori and Minori takes you through terraced lemon groves where traditional cultivation methods are still used. Ravello's 13th-century Villa Rufolo sits 350 meters above the Mediterranean and offers dramatic coastal views.

This photography-focused tour takes you through South Italy's cultural highlights, starting at UNESCO-listed Pompeii's preserved ruins and Amalfi's striking black-and-white marble cathedral. You'll get great shots of the Faraglioni rocks rising from Capri's waters and Positano's pastel houses climbing down the cliffs. There's also a hands-on cooking class at a traditional terraced farmhouse in Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, where you'll have views over the Amalfi Coast while you cook.
