Meeting with English speaking guide in the lobby of the hotel and departure by bus to Pompeii. Pompeii holds an intense fascination for visitors today. Following the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in the year 79 A.D., Pompeii lay buried for hundreds of years. The town is high on the list of Wonders of the World and the excavations, begun in the 18th century, are still being carried out today, Our guide will take you slowly, throughout some of the ancient streets of Pompeii where you can see Baths, Forum and Villas built by the prosperous Romans in the year 80 B.C. Marvel at the fabulously preserved frescoes which adorned the walls and floors of the Villas. Even if your interests do not lie in history, this is an archeological site that you cannot be failed to be impressed by. Mount Vesuvius dominates the Bay of Naples. It is the only other active Volcano (along with Etna) on the mainland of Europe. The slopes were once covered with vineyards and woods and provided an innocent looking backdrop for the bustling town below. The coach will take you to within 1.000 meters of the top of the Vesuvius and from there you can walk to the very top and admire the splendid panoramic views across the bay. From the blackened crater rises a single plume of smoke, a reminder that the volcano in only sleeping for now… Reminder: Comfortable, closed in shoes and your camera.
Meeting with English speaking guide in the lobby of the hotel and departure by bus to the Amalfi coast. The “ Amalfi Drive “ is said to be the most spectacular in Europe and from Sorrento, the winding cliff top road offers breathtaking panoramic views at every turn. Each spot is a world of its own, a fantastic world which dazzles the imagination and inspires unforgettable impressions. We make a stop just above Positano, yet another splendid jewel of the coastline, which boats pictoresque pink and white villas perched dramatically on the steep hillside. Then on to Amalfi, which gives its name to the whole coats on which it lies. Once a thriving Marine Republic, powerful and prosperous and now a thriving holiday resort. The unmistakeable cluster of white tightly packed houses rising up the hillside is dominated by the beautiful Cathedral which stands superbly on the top of a great flight of steps leading up from the main square. Housed in the magnificent cathedral are the remains of the Patron Saint of Amalfi as well as Scotland – St. Andrew. From Amalfi we visit Ravello which nestles eleven hundred feet above the sea in the mountainside. We visit the Villa Rufolo which gave the musician Richard Wagner the inspiration to create one of his most famous works. Return to Sorrento along the motorway.
Sail across the bay of Naples for the start of an unforgettable day. For so small an island, Capri has had much said, sung and written about it. You then go down to Capri town which is very chic with shops, hotels and restaurants lying along winding streets. The main square Piazza Umberto has a pretty white
