• Breakfast at the hotel. • The most famous archaeological site in the world: it was visited in 2008 by over 2,000,000 people. • Pick up directly from your hotel. After a journey of about 30 minutes to get to Pompeii first settlements date

back to the Iron Age, or the IX - VII century BC C., when there was the culture of "graves". Pompeii at that time was a very important commercial center, so that it was a target for expansion by the Greeks and the Etruscans before, the Samnites later. At this time there was a strong architecture impulse: a triangular and rectangular Forum were reconstructed and important buildings like the Temple of Jupiter, the Basilica and the House of the Faun. Under Nerone the Campania region suffered heavy damage due to an earthquake which occurred in 62 or 63 A.C. The Roman Senate immediately ordered the reconstruction, but all was in vain, because August 24 of 79 B.C., when rebuilding was still underway, a disastrous eruption of Vesuvius wiped it out completely with, Herculaneum, Stabia and Oplonti. There was almost no escape for anyone and the thriving Pompeii was only a cloak lava often up to three meters and cemented the inhabitants and destroyed all manner of life. From this great tragedy the famous archeological excavations of Pompeii, where began and been brought to light the ancient Roman city destroyed tragically after one of the eruptions of the nearby volcano Vesuvius in the year 79 B.C. The excavations of Pompeii (entrance included), Herculaneum and with those of Oplontis are given in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thanks to the scientists, historians, archaeologists, restorers and all those people who are so dedicated with the tragedy of Pompeii that did not destroy the city, there have only stopped enough time to return it to the appearance it had on that particular day in 79B.C.

• After the visit of the excavations free time for lunch (not included) and proceed to visit the crater of Mount Vesuvius.

• This volcano is particularly interesting for its history and the frequency of its eruptions. It is part of the Somma - Vesuvius mountain system, 1281 meters high. On clear days the most famous volcano in Europe, offers spectacular and striking views, leaving the eye to wonder over the sea, islands and the archaeological excavations of the cities buried by the eruption of 79AC. . At ten o'clock in the morning the gases that were pressing inside exploded and the solid lava, that blocked the volcano crater, reducing it in to ash and liquid lava. The ash was so thick that it blocked out the sun. Since that terrible day the cities have ceased to exist and remained buried for centuries under a blanket of over 6 meters of ash and lava. With the coach we will reach a height of 1000 meters. The clients will have the option to continue walking along a path and reaching the peak of the volcano, for an impressive view of the crater visited with a specialized mountain guide. This cost is not included and, for the clients that choose to continue and reach the peak, they will need to pay directly on site (currently at €10 per person, subjected to change).

The Amalfi Coast is known for its diversity: each of the towns on the coast has its own charm and its traditions. During the first part of the day we will pass, with the coach, the famous and romantic Positano. The historical version that the name derives from Paestum, whose inhabitants took refuge in the area during the raids of pirates. The other version has it that the name comes from a voice that kept saying "... posa posa ...” heard when, during a crossing by sea of a painting of the Madonna, the boat encountered a heavy storm. The men then fled to what is now known as the bay of Positano, and when they laid the picture on the beach, the storm stopped. The origins of Positano are lost in the mists of time, where history and legend mingle. As often happened in the past, the myth, which replaced the lack of clear data, tells us that Positano was founded by Poseidon, the god of the sea, for the love of the nymph Pasitea, Weather permitting, we will make a stop halfway with the possibility to buy drink and admire the local pottery in Conca dei Marini.

• Then you will reach Amalfi, the main square which is dedicated to Flavio Gioia, the invention of the sea compass.
