DESCRIPTION:
The ruins of Pompeii, part of an ancient Roman city destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. can be visited at a cost of Euro 10,00 per person.
The remainder of the uncovered city is today buried under the new Pompeii rebuilt many years subsequent to the eruption.
Archeological excavations are open to the public between the hours of 09:00 and 18:00 everyday of the week, guides can be hired at the entrance or headphones voicing explanations of the sites can be rented.
Please note that since Pompeii is a popular area for tourists, we strongly recommend being cautious of your belongings!
After a visit to these fantastic ruin we will head towards Positano.
Driving down-hill directly through Positano descending the winding one-way road, bypassing many local restaurants, leads to the heart of the town - the busy central Piazza dei Mulini that is connected to a narrow downhill path and some occasional flights of steps that lead to the seafront.
At Piazza dei Mulini, you must leave the car as all streets leading to the waterfront are for pedestrians only.
The only way to reach restaurants situated on the beach that serve fish that have been pulled out of the sea the same morning, such as La Cambusa and Chez Black, is to go by foot!
These streets also lead to the cathedral, shops selling ceramics, lemons, shoes and "Positano fashion" clothing.
Positano is alive at night as well as during the day with exotic nightclubs such as "Music on the Rocks" and various bars and cafés that remain open until the sun begins to rise over the horizon.
There is a short walk back uphill in order to return to the car that will drive straight ahead, this time ascending the mountain, returning to the main coastal road that leads to Amalfi.
