This panoramic stop in Meta allows you to take pictures and have a memory of picturesque Sorrento!
Meta rises about 111 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 2.5 km2, which include both coastal areas, with over 800 meters of coastline, and mountainous areas, with the hamlet of Alberi, Monte Vico Alvano in the South East, 642 meters, and part of the Camaldoli Mountains.

The Li Galli islands make up a tiny archipelago between Capri and Positano, one of the most evocative places not only in Campania, but throughout the Mediterranean. Three islands form the archipelago, Gallo Lungo, La Rotonda and La Castelluccia, and together they integrate an extremely suggestive marine protected area.

Positano is perhaps a unique place in the world! It is a jewel of spontaneous architecture, set on the rock overlooking the sea. Clusters of colorful houses, sometimes cubic in appearance, are built on often very steep steps, which descend to the beach, connected by alleys and long staircases.

Legend has it that in its sea lived the mythical Sirens who tempted Ulysses with a melodious song.
And even today to go on that sea - with blue and green reflections, in a thousand different shades depending on the play of the sun - you can imagine that the waves emerge - beautiful and persuasive - the Mermaids.
But maybe Sorrento is a Mermaid that captivates and enchants with the scents of lemon and orange trees, with olive trees with dark twisted trunks and silver leaves that move slowly, with a slight sound, in the wind coming from the sea, with rocks born from the distant fury of a volcano.

Pompeii is a town in Campania, located in the Gulf of Naples and on the slopes of the volcano Vesuvius. It is a city with an ancient origin: it was born as an Oscan settlement, was later inhabited by the Samnites and then, starting from the first century BC.C., conquered by the Romans.
City buried by the Eruption of Vesuvius. Today it is known as the city where there is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The Roman city was in fact buried by lava following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.C. Lava and ash were a sort of cover that allowed the city to maintain itself over the centuries and to be protected from the elements; for this reason the city remained intact and can be visited today.
Note: The remaining time is for the round trip and the time spent between attractions.
