Features of Pompeii , Positano , Sorrento & Amalfi Coast day trip from Naples:
Start your day from the port of
Naples, with an excellent English-Speaking driver that will show the most
unique sites of the area.
Stay on budget but enjoy the pleasure of a luxury service with a private small shared van.
Pompeii is
an ancient Roman city destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano
Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The remainder of the uncovered city is today buried under
the new Pompeii rebuilt many years subsequent to the eruption. The driver will
give you time to explore the ruins excavations. The site is open to the public
between the hours of 09:00 and 6:00 every day of the week, guides can be hired
at the entrance or headphones can be rented, voicing explanations of the sites.
Right after the first stop we will get
back in the vehicle and, drive around the Bay of Naples and then we will enter the Amalfi Coast . Driving down-hill directly through Positano, after the winding
one-way road, is the busy central Piazza dei Mulini. There you must leave the
car because streets leading to the waterfront are for pedestrians only, where
you can find to the cathedral, shops selling ceramics, lemons, shoes and
clothing line (this part can be reversed if needed). Positano is alive at night
as well as during the day with nightclubs such as the Music on the Rocks; and
various bars and café’s that remain open until the sun begins to rise. There is
a short walk back uphill in order to return to the car and back to the main
road.
Next you will reach the town of Sorrento, where you will experience spectacular views of the entire bay of Naples and the Island of Capri as the Amalfi coast road emerges from over the mountain cliff. A short drive through the town before you arrive in the center - a major shopping mall for locals, as well as tourists.
