Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Walking through the original roads of the archeological areas of Pompei means to walk through more than 2000 years of history. When Mount Vesuvius buried the Roman city with its ashes, Pompeii was well preserved for centuries! Marvel in places as the ancient theatre, the Forum, ancient taverns, and also the “lupanare”, where the Roman men used to go to spend a night with a lady of the night.

Do what everyone dreams of when thinking of Italy: be driven along the Picture Perfect Amalfi Coast and enjoy the heavenly landscape dotted with small towns dramatically settled between the rugged mountains and an extraordinary blue sea. Stop to enjoy a pleasant stroll through the villages that are full of colorful shops and cafes.

Positano is one of the lovely towns of the Amalfi Coast that directly face the sea. In ancient times the Romans used to consider Positano as the perfect place where to rest, mainly during summer time. Nothing has changed today, as the warm weather, the picture-perfect landscape, the tasteful food and the amazing beach and sea make you feel in heaven and not wanting to leave!
