arrow-icon

Breakfast at the hotel. Today, embark on a full-day excursion to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii,  two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Depart Naples, headed for the spectacular coastal region of Amalfi.

These dramatic landscapes of pastel-colored hillside towns, rugged mountain sides and plunging sea cliffs are among the most impressive in Italy!

Walk around the site, accompanied by an archaeological guide, and learn more about the people that lived here and their daily lives. Highlights include the thermal baths, the Roman amphitheater, the Macellum and the House of the Faun.

After an unforgettable day of discovery, return to Naples and catch a ferry to Ischia. Overnight stay in Ischia.
