Pompeii is one of the most unique archaeological sites in the world, and definitely the only one that puts you in a time machine to experience what it must have been like on a fateful day in August 79 AD when Mt. Vesuvius erupted. This is one sight that you need to see at least once in your life so don’t let this Italian vacation go without it.
After a comfortable ride in luxury transportation reserved for your group only, you’ll be handed over to an expert Pompeii archaeologist to guide you through the most compelling and enigmatic areas of this ancient city that were literally frozen in time under 30 feet of ash and pumice. Walk on the famous stone slabs of its streets still marked today with chariot tracks and learn about the daily lives (and habits) of its inhabitants.
On your guided visit you’ll walk into homes, admire vibrant frescos, see ancient taverns and stand in awe of the Forum, framed by Mt. Vesuvius itself, all the while discovering their unique history. You’ll even see the plaster casts of the victims themselves stopped like a photograph in their last breathing moments.
The Bay of Naples is a treasure trove not only for its abundance of ancient sites but also for the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast. This is by far one of the most unique and drop-dead gorgeous landscapes in the world, as peaks as high as 5 thousand feet jut out of the Mediterranean’s crystalline waters, the emerald slopes dotted with tiny colorful villages.
Your driver will take you along the Amalfi Coast scenic drive, a narrow stretch of road carved into the side of the rock, with ample stops to take it all in. One of the best panoramas is over the Gulf of Sorrento, from where you’ll be able to see Capri, Naples, Mt. Vesuvius, and Sorrento all from a single vantage point. With a ‘limoncello’ in hand, you’ll think that the day has reached its climax, but just wait till you cross the Sorrentine Peninsula and roll into Positano.
Many people ask themselves if it is worth it to visit the Amalfi Coast from Rome, and our answer is a solid “Yes!”, especially if time constraints won’t allow you to spend multiple days exploring southern Italy. Positano is small, vibrant, and characteristic, with a mesmerizing atmosphere you’ll only find right here.
The best way to experience Positano is by taking advantage of your free time, so you will be able to capture the exact facet of this magical place that you came for. You can visit sights like Santa Maria Assunta church, go souvenir shopping for exquisite linens or handmade leather sandals, as well as take a dip in the Mediterranean Sea at the Marina Grande or Fornillo beaches (bring a swimsuit!).
One thing you won’t want to miss is lunch, so plan on pairing any one of these activities with a delicious Italian meal.
