Sorrento to Pompeii Vesuvius

 



MOUNT VESUVIUS

To POMPEII




VISIT ANCIENT ROMAN RUINS

POMPEII







POMPEII




Combine a trip to the UNESCO-listed ruins of Pompeii with a walk up to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius. The group day trip includes round-trip transportation from Sorrento, skip-the-line admission to Pompeii, plus tours of each site. After a relaxed stroll around the archaeological site at the ancient city of Pompeii, take a short hike up to the rim of the volcano to meet a mountain guide and peer into the crater’s rim. A full-day tour of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius from Sorrento Wander amid Pompeii’s ruins and see the Forum of the Basilica Hike up the side of Mt. Vesuvius and learn about its history Save time with skip-the-line admission tickets to Pompeii

Board your climate-controlled minibus and relax on the journey inland to Pompeii. Once you arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage–listed archaeological digs, skip the admission lines and head off on a tour to discover Pompeii’s highlights. As you explore, learn about the destructive volcanic eruption of AD 79 that buried the ancient city for centuries. The ash and molten lava that streamed out of Mt. Vesuvius preserved the town remarkably, and many original landmarks can be found around the site. See the old public baths, the Macellum (market), and the Temple of Jupiter, and hear about their history from your guide. After a break for lunch at your own expense, continue with a drive up the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Stretch your legs on a short hike up to the crater’s lip and learn about the infamous volcano from a mountain guide. Make use of some free time to gaze out over the Bay of Naples, then return to your transport for the drive back to Sorrento.

I will never forget going to Positano for the first time, back in the Summer of 1985, and going into the bathroom at Bar International, after I got off the bus from Rome, that dropped us off right in front of Bar International. I grabbed my bags and went into the bar for an espresso and something to eat. 
I went into the bathroom, and saw something similar to the picture above. The bathroom of the bar was built right into the mountain, and had the mountain rock as one of its walls. Wow, I thought. This is amazing.
After refreshing myself at Bar International, I grabbed my bags and made my way down to where my hotel was. I checked into my room at Villa Maria Antoinetta Pensione, and after taking a shower and dressing into some fresh clothes, I went down to the beach a bit, and explored the town.
That night, I had my first ever meal at Da Vincenzo's on the Via Pasitea, Positano, and again, I saw the same thing. The building was built right into the mountainside cliff of Positano. The picture above, is what I saw, one of the two dining rooms at Da Vincenzo. I met some of the family that owned the restaurant, Jesse and Victor, and I had a nice plate of Spaghetti Vongole and some wine, and I had a wonderful time, dinner that night at Da Vincenzo

Top to Do List Positano AmalfiCoast





POSITANO


TOP THINGS to DO in POSITANO - The AMALFI COAST

#  1 - The BEACH




Spiaggi Grande

POSITANO


         At the Center of Positano is Spiaggi Grande, the main beach of Positano.

          There is a small area that is free, but the main beach, you need to pay for


La SCOGLIERA BEACH CLUB

My own personal Favorite Beach is La Scogliera Beach, another Private Beach Club, which is just past Spiaggi Grande. It's not cheap, but it's worth the splurge, of which I have been doing since 1985.





La SCOGLIERA BEACH CLUB 

POSITANO



FORNILLO BEACH

Fornillo Beach is the other of the main Beaches of the town of Positano.

There's a Private Beach, and a large Free Beach as Well.


ARIENZO BEACH CLUB — Arienzo Beach Club is reachable via, you guessed it, shuttle boat from the main pier! Every 30 minutes from 10am to 1pm. Unlike the others, you can book Arienzo online and there are tons of different package options to choose from!

TREVILLE BEACH CLUB — Treville Beach Club is located on a private beach just outside of town. It is reachable via shuttle boat from the main Positano pier every hour starting at 10am.

ONE FIRE BEACH CLUB — One Fire is in Praiano, the town next to Positano, at Gavitella Beach. You can get to it via free boat shuttle from the main pier in Positano.

Number 3

The HOTEL POSEIDON - "Stay or Visit"


The Hotel Poseidon is one of Positano's most popular hotel. It's a nice family run hotel. Two major factors in its popularity is that it is situated at one the most desirable spots in town, that affords guest and visitors probably the best view in all of Positano.

The second major plus, is the hotels large terrace and outdoor pool, with a wonderful restaurant and bar, and you don't have to be a guest to enjoy them.
