The stop in Naples gives you the chance to visit and walk through the ancient city of Pompeii - just as at was centuries ago.

Back in the 21st Century, you're bound to find Naples an instantly enjoyable city with a fun-loving atmosphere. 

And of course, no tour of the Amalfi coast would be complete without a visit to the strikingly beautiful village of Sorrento and a crossing to the romantic island of Capri.

Pompeii

Walk through the streets of this once bustling town where life stopped in an instant with the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. Buildings and even people are perfectly captured and since excavated to provide a still-life snap-shot of 1st century Roman life.  Enter the houses of the middle class villagers, see the theatre and the main square.  A fantastic morning, where you feel part of the history.

Pompeii and Sorrento

Visit the ancient and rich town of Pompeii with its historical example of life in the 1^st Century. The town was entirely covered in ash from Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, and the excavations that have taken place have found items of immeasurable value. Your guided walking tour of the site takes you through the remains of what used to be the town's shops, homes and ancient Roman Baths.  After spending approx 2 hours in Pompeii  journey to Sorrento for free time to explore this beautiful place at your leisure (approx 1.5 hrs) As you stroll around this lovely town, what better way to end your tour than to enjoy a real Italian ice cream or a creamy cappuccino. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The drive from Naples to Pompeii takes approximately 45 minutes and a further 45 minutes from Pompeii to Sorrento. Some shops may be closed between 13.00-15.30hours.

Please note that there is a steep incline at the entrance of Pompeii and the majority of this part of the tour is on uneven ground and therefore not suitable for guests with walking difficulties.

 

The Isle of Capri

Board the hydrofoil for a 45-minute crossing to Capri's Marina Grande.  This little island has become known as the "Island of Love", due to its natural beauty.  You will board a local motor boat and sail along the east side of the island, passing through the Grotta Bianca and the natural arch. On return to Capri Marina, there's an optional visit to Capri Village via a cable car.
