Itinerary

1. 1

   Naples

   3h

   You will be picked up directly from your hotel for a guided panoramic tour, lasting approximately 2 hours, of the historic centre of Naples. You will stop at the Cathedral to admire the Treasury Chapel in its Baroque style and the basilica of Santa Restituta, the first early Christian basilica from the 4th century AD. You will then continue by minibus to the city centre, passing Castel Nuovo, the so-called Maschio Angioino, and make another stop in the Posillipo district, at the terrace of the church of Sant'Antonio, which offers the best panoramic view of the gulf. Returning to the city centre, you will make a further stop to visit the famous Piazza del Plebiscito, the splendid Galleria Umberto I and the exteriors of the Royal Palace and the An Carlo Theatre.

2. 2

   Archaeological Park of Pompeii

   3h

   Your tour will continue with a guided visit to the archaeological excavations of Pompeii, where your guide will show you the most evocative places of the ancient Roman city, such as the Forum, the Baths, the Lupanare, the Greek Theatre and the plaster casts of the bodies of the inhabitants buried by the ashes and lapilli during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

3. 3

   Sorrento

   3h

   After a lunch break including pizza margherita and a drink. You will depart for the Sorrento Peninsula. You will admire along the way: the suggestive medieval castle of Castellammare di Stabia, from which the town takes its name. The small, enchanting beaches of Vico Equense and Seiano, where the typically Mediterranean vegetation of these places gives the landscape the vibrant colours of lemons and oranges. You will stop on the belvedere of Meta di Sorrento, to admire the beautiful panorama and to take your best photos. Stop in Sorrento for a short visit, where you will be equipped with an audio guide to visit the town's most famous sites on your own and at your own pace. You will stroll through the town's characteristic alleyways, full of shops and artisan workshops, until you reach the Villa Comunale, one of Sorrento's most scenic spots from where you can admire the beauty of the gulf as far as Punta Campanella and immortalise the ‘precious’ Sorrentine scenery with photos.
