The Best of Pompeii
One of the most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this town was buried in ash and pumice when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. But from this tragic event came a magic location where time has literally stood still, a perfectly preserved fossil record of ancient Roman life.
Beautiful Sorrento
Overlooking the Bay of Naples, Mt. Vesuvius and the isle of Capri, this beautiful seaside city is known for its panoramic and picturesque views as well as the birthplace of 'limoncello', Southern Italy’s most popular lemon liqueur.
The Bay of Naples
Known in Italian as the Golfo di Napoli, this beautiful, sparkling blue waterway opens to the Mediterranean Sea and runs along the Sorrento Peninsula. A spectacular sight with Mt. Vesuvius looming on the horizon!
