Itinerary and highlights
Explore the main highlights of Pompeii with an archaeologist. You won't just visit an archaeological site, you are going to live a day like an ancient roman!
Let us drive you then through the coastal road with steep cliffs and a rugged shoreline dotted with small beaches and pastel-colored fishing villages. Learn about the natural resources, food traditions and craftsmanship that made the Amalfi Coast an unrivaled gem in Italy.
Between Pompeii and the rocky ridge of Sorrento winding across sumptuous villas, terraced vineyards and lemon groves overlooking the sea, some photo stops overlooking the stunning landscapes of the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento peninsula will make this a memorable journey!
Roman foundation with the name of Stabiae, shared the same destiny as Pompeii after the Vesuvius' eruption in 79 AD. Located between the Vesuvius area and the Peninsula of Sorrento
First town to welcome to the Sorrento Peninsula. Perched atop a rocky promontory, the town stretches across 30 km of coastline with a scattering of charming ancient hamlets to dot the landscape. Stunning views of the open sea or crags and headlands.
The coast is rich with beaches and bays, and the lush green hilltops are covered in vineyards and lemon groves, farmhouses and dairy factories.
