Modern-day Pompeii may feel like a nondescript satellite of Naples, but it’s here that you’ll find Europe’s most compelling archaeological site: the ruins of Pompeii.

Breakfast at hotel, Meeting with your guide and transfer from Piano di Sorrento to Amalfi, the main town of the coast on which it is located, named Amalfi Coast, and is today an important tourist destination together with other towns on the same coast, such as Positano, Ravello and others. It is hard to grasp that pretty little Amalfi, with its sun-filled piazzas and small beach, was once a maritime superpower with a population of more than 70,000. For one thing, it’s not a big place – you can easily walk from one end to the other in about 20 minutes. For another, there are very few historical buildings of note. The explanation is chilling: most of the old city, and its populace, simply slid into the sea during an earthquake in 1343. Despite this, the town exudes a sense of history and culture, most notably in its breathtaking cathedral and fascinating paper museum.  Than break in Positano a colourful Italian town in the Campania region, with vertiginous houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta. No less colourful are its steep streets and steps, flanked by wisteria-draped hotels, smart restaurants and fashionable retailers. Overlooking the turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, this seaside paradise is home to traditional terracotta houses on a steep hill and a small marina with fishing boats in order to admire the village from the lookout. Stop to Conca dei Marini for the visit of the Emerald cave. Arrival in Amalfi and tour of the Amalfi center and visit of the famous Cathedral. Free lunch and in the afternoon continuation to Ravello, a village founded in the 5th century as a shelter place against the barbarian invasions which marked the end of the Western Roman Empire Ravello is also a refined, polished town almost entirely dedicated to tourism. Boasting impeccable bohemian credentials – Wagner, DH Lawrence and Virginia Woolf all spent time here – it’s today known for its ravishing gardens and stupendous views, the best in the world according to former resident Gore Vidal, and certainly the best on the coast. We will stop here in order to visit the marvellous city center. Free dinner and overnight in Positano at Hotel Palazzo Marzioli
