What you will visit:
Pompeii
The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. was a monumental natural disaster that killed thousands and entombed the city of Pompeii. A visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an opportunity to view a moment in time preserved for more than 2,000 years in this lost city buried deep beneath the ash. Walk among the ruins that, in exquisite detail, paint a picture of daily Roman life. Known as a vacation community for high society, some of the ruins are remarkably preserved, with elaborately detailed mosaics and colorful frescoes decorating the interiors of wealthy homeowners' villas.
Sorrento
The coastal town of Sorrento overlooks the Bay of Naples. Explore the cobblestone side streets and public squares, such as Piazza Tasso and Piazza Antiche Mura with its lively atmosphere. Sorrento is a prime place for shoppers and ambience seekers alike. The bustling Corso Italia, a flower-lined main boulevard, showcases charming cafes and designer boutiques. Stroll down to the picture-perfect Sorrento pier and take in the fresh sea breezes or go beachcombing along the rocky shoreline.
Capri
The stunningly beautiful isle of Capri is accessible by hydrofoil/jet boat ride and cable car. Upon arrival at this iconic resort, you'll find exclusive boutiques and shops of the rich and famous.
What you will see along the way:
From Naples, it's a 45-minute drive to Pompeii, where the distinctive outline of Mt. Vesuvius will come into view. The scenic drive between Pompeii and Sorrento is approximately one hour, and whether by motorcoach, cable car or boat, you'll find breathtaking views along the Amalfi Coast and the Bay of Naples at every turn of your adventure.
