Itinerary
Day 1 | Begin your journey on the scenic "Highway of the Sun," passing through the enchanting countryside of Castelli Romani. As you approach Naples, admire the view of Mount Vesuvius dominating the horizon from the comfort of your coach seat! Your first stop is Pompeii, one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Enjoy a delicious Neapolitan pizza lunch before meeting your professional guide, who will bring the ancient city of Pompeii to life. Walk along its remarkably preserved streets, see the ruins of villas, temples, and bathhouses, and marvel at the details that provide a glimpse into Roman life before the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
After this immersive visit, continue your journey along the stunning Sorrento Coast, where dramatic cliffs plunge into the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Arrive in the picturesque town of Sorrento, known for its vibrant streets, artisan shops, and breathtaking views. Check into your 4-star hotel and enjoy a delightful dinner featuring local specialties. After dinner, take some time to explore the charming alleys of Sorrento on your own, or simply relax and soak in the coastal atmosphere.
Day 2 (High Season: April to October) | Start your day with a hearty breakfast before embarking on a ferry ride to the glamorous island of Capri, a favorite destination of poets, artists, and celebrities. Known for its dramatic cliffs, luxurious villas, and vibrant gardens, Capri offers a unique blend of natural beauty and sophistication.
Weather permitting, visit the iconic Blue Grotto, where sunlight creates a magical blue glow inside this unique sea cave. If the Grotto is inaccessible due to tidal conditions, you'll enjoy a scenic boat tour of the Faraglioni Rocks, Capri’s towering sea stacks. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore the island at your own pace—stroll through the elegant streets of Capri town, visit artisan boutiques, or relax at one of the island’s charming cafes.
In the afternoon, return to Sorrento by ferry and travel back to Rome along the same picturesque route. Expect to arrive in the Eternal City by around 9:00 PM, concluding a whirlwind journey filled with history, natural beauty, and unforgettable moments.
Day 2 (Low Season: November to March) | In the low season, instead of Capri, enjoy a more relaxed day in Sorrento. After breakfast, take your time to explore the town’s colorful streets, shop for handcrafted limoncello and ceramics, or simply admire the sweeping views of the Bay of Naples. Sorrento’s charm lies in its slow pace and authentic Italian atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a leisurely morning.
In the afternoon, bid farewell to the Sorrento Coast as you journey back to Rome. Arrive in the evening, bringing your two-day adventure to a close.
Day 3 | Start your final day with breakfast at the hotel and some free time in Sorrento. In the afternoon, bid farewell to the coast as you journey back to Rome, arriving at approximately 9:00 PM.
