ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy
Pompeii is the "Buried City". Swallowed by the ashes of the eruption of Mt Vesuvius of 79 AD it was rediscovered in 1600.
Far from the buzz of the crowds, we will explore Pompeii walking into the foot-steps of its ancient citizens: an unscrupulous merchant, a lazy patrician, a powerful matron, a slave, or an invincible gladiator. You will learn about their everyday life, political and love intrigues.
I will show you the Forum, political and religious center of the Town, and all the administrative buildings surrounding it: The Basilica (Palace of Justice), the Temple of Apollo, the Macellum (market place), the Temple of Jupiter and the Granaries. You will see plaster casts of victims who died suffocated during the eruption. We will enter luxury Private Homes to discover majestic gardens, vibrant frescoes and sophisticated mosaics. We will explore Bath-Houses and ancient taverns, bakeries (Pistrinia) and Thermopolia (wine and food bars).
The tour is at your own pace and flexible.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Stop At: Positano, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
If selected on tour Positano could be combined with the visit of Sorrento or Amalfi. Positano is known as the "Vertical Village" as it was built on the slopes of an imposing limestone hill which has the silhouette of a pyramid. Before getting there, we can stop along the Amalfi drive to take breathtaking pictures of the Village from above. Then we drive downtown to let you stroll through its colorful alleys flanked by handmade ceramic and sandals’ workshops, refined art galleries and ateliers showing elegant linen dresses typical of the famous Positano Fashion Style. The beach is very close and here you have the chance to swim.
Positano is charming and wild at the same time. Here you enjoy the pure Mediterranean atmosphere.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Amalfi, Amalfi, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
The exploration of Amalfi would be our recommendation while visiting Positano or, above all, Ravello.
It’s the main village of the Amalfi Coast. It gives the name to the entire Coastal Line because in the 9th Century it conquered the whole Peninsula and founded colonies all over the Mediterranean Sea. Today it still saves the breath of a vibrant Capital. In Amalfi you have time for visiting the splendid Cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew and to enjoy a walk through the picturesque alleys of the center. You could spend your lunch in one of the excellent restaurants you find on the seashore or simply enjoy the local gelato or taste the sublime typical pastry called Delizia al Limone (Lemon Delight).
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Ravello, Ravello, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
If selected on tour it’s the ideal stop to add to the visit of Amalfi in terms of distance and traveling time. Ravello is the Pearl of the Amalfi Coast. Charming and elegant, refuge for many artists like Greta Garbo and inspiring location for painters and musicians like Richard Wagner who composed in Ravello the second act of his most important work “The Parsifal”. In Ravello you could spend a lovely walk to visit Villa Rufolo or Villa Cimbrone housing the famous terrace of the infinite and spectacular gardens or simply relax at one of the Cafès in the main square of the Village to watch as the local daily life goes by.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Sorrento, Sorrento, Province of Naples, Campania
Sorrento would be the ideal stop to be combined with the visit of Positano. Sorrento is a lovely town located on the top of a stunning cliff overlooking the spectacular Bay of Naples while in the background there is the unique silhouette of the Mt Vesuvius.
In the Old Town there is a large pedestrian area where in the middle of churches and noble palaces intersected by very narrow alleys there are located clothing shops, jewelries, handmade typical sandals’ workshops and excellent restaurants for spending your shopping and lunch time.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Parco Nazionale Del Vesuvio, Contrada Osservatorio, Ercolano Italy
While driving, exploring the Ruins of Pompeii and stopping along the coastal line you cannot miss to admire the silhouette of the Mt Vesuvius. It's eruption of 79 AD destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. It's a still active volcano. On tour you have the chance to take spectacular pictures of it.
