Pompeii was great but wish we had longer there to see more- 2 hrs 20 mins just not enough- we got taken to a restaurant after where lunch was 18 euros- I don't do big lunches so just sat waiting for others for an hr- wish we just got free time to go to cafes in Pompeii then could have had an extra hr there- And then the random coral place on way back was awful- nothing to do with the trip and jewelery was over 200euros- more wasted time
Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius are the Beauty and the Beast of the Amalfi Coast. On this excursion through epic landscapes, you'll explore the fascinatingly haunting archaeological site of Pompeii before going to the crater of the volcano. A daytrip that feature oodles of history and nature.
First up, your guide will lead you through the streets of Pompeii. Buried under volcanic ash by Vesuvius's eruption of 79 AD, it has been clawed back from Mother Nature and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the richly decorated villas of the Roman nobility – you can still see frescoes on the walls – as well as public spaces such as the Forum, Amphitheatre and gladiator barracks.
Then, in the afternoon, you'll become acquainted with Mt Vesuvius – the architect of Pompeii's destruction. Going by road to the 1,000m mark, a guide will then escort you to the summit to take in the views – visibility permitting – over the Bay of Naples. On the journey back, there's a visit to cameo and coral factory.
