Charge your batteries with breakfast at the hotel before departing to Ercolano. We visit this archeological site with our guide. Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Ercolano was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Around midday, we have some free time for lunch. Shortly after, we will proceed to Pompeii, where we will join the guide to discover the most significant archaeological site of Naples Bay, buried under lava and ash form Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and lay forgotten for hundreds of years. Enjoy a walking tour of Pompeii that includes the visit of interiors of the homes, ancient streets, the Amphitheatre, the ancient Forum.

Our breakfast at the hotel is followed by a day travelling along one of the most intriguing coastlines in the World. We will stop on the route for a panoramic view of Positano from above. Around midday, we have some free time for lunch and then continue to the top of the mountains to Ravello, situated at 1100 feet above the sea level, the views of the coast below are for sure the most breath-taking scenery. The town of Ravello is the best place where to leave the crowds and where to enjoy the quiet of a village, where most of the historical centre is still untamed, and still recalling the magnificence of the grand private residences.
