🗺️ The Itinerary

Enter Pompeii Archaeological Park for 2-hour guided tour with archaeologist covering Forum, villas, and ancient streets. Depart Pompeii for scenic drive along Amalfi Coast with photo stops at panoramic viewpoints. Arrive at cliffside restaurant location for optional lunch with Mediterranean views overlooking dramatic coastal cliffs. Standing among Pompeii's ancient columns with Vesuvius looming in the background creates an immediate connection between the volcanic destruction and the preserved city below. Continue to Amalfi town for exploration of historic center, cathedral, and maritime heritage sites. Return journey to Naples or Salerno port with total transport time approximately 4 hours.
