Bay of Naples and visit Pompei.
This morning you’ll be driven to the Bay of Naples, an area that lies between iconic Naples and Sorrento, a small town famous for its lemon groves. But the main attraction for today is Pompeii. A thriving port town until it was destroyed by a catastrophic volcanic eruption over two days in 79AD, Pompeii was lost for 1700 years, buried under ash and pumice. Its perfectly preserved remains are now a Unesco World Heritage site and allow an incredible insight into a typical Roman city. Bathhouses, bakeries, and even people’s homes still stand, even with detailed frescoes still intact. You’re free to explore this ancient site and can opt for a tour with a local guide.
