Drive along the gorgeous Amalfi coast and explore the resort city of Sorrento on your own before proceeding to the excavated ruins of Pompeii. You will pass towering bluffs, dramatic gorges and pastel-colored villages that will make the coastal journey all the more memorable. In time, you will pause for photos of Positano, a picture-perfect almost vertical town that clings to the side of a cliff overlooking the sea. Farther down the peninsula, you will stop in Sorrento. It too offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean with Mt. Vesuvius looming in the distance. While exploring, you will behold extraordinary architecture and feel the vibrancy of everyday life in this classic Italian setting. Then, it’s on to Pompeii, a Roman town forever known for the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius that buried it under ash and pumice in 79 AD. While touring the somber necropolis, you will see eerie plaster casts of some of the victims.
