Get ready for a full-day adventure that blends ancient history with seaside charm. Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Naples to Pompeii for a 2.5-hour exploration of the ancient city. Step through Porta Marina and walk toward the Forum, Pompeii’s political and commercial hub. Discover the Via dell’Abbondanza, lined with original chariot tracks, and visit the Theater District, where Romans once enjoyed plays. Explore the well-preserved bath complex, the intriguing Lupanare with its vivid frescoes, and a Thermopolium—an ancient street food shop. Visit the House of the Faun, home to the iconic Alexander Mosaic, and stroll through the Macellum market. End your visit with a moving look at the plaster casts of residents, forever frozen in their final moments.
Afterwards, head to Sorrento for a leisurely afternoon surrounded by stunning coastal beauty. Begin with a guided walking tour through the historic centre, starting from the vibrant Piazza Tasso. Admire the dramatic Vallone dei Mulini, a deep gorge draped in greenery, and the Cathedral of Sorrento, known for its peaceful ambience. Stroll through the serene Cloister of San Francesco with its romantic arches, then visit the Villa Comunale for breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples. Along the way, discover the local art of wood inlay, a centuries-old craft. Finally, enjoy free time for lunch at a local café, shop for handmade souvenirs, or soak in Sorrento’s coastal magic before returning to Naples.
