AMALFI FROM ROME

Early in the morning, you will comfortably start your trip in an air-condiotioned bus to Naples. You will cross the regions of Lazio and Campania. Naples will welcome you with its picturesque streets and architecture. There you will visit the Vomero hill to get a panoramic view of the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius, Capri, Ischia and Procida, and of course, a view of this privileged city. 

We will then transfer you by bus to Pompeii, where you will enjoy lunch and savor the exquisite Napolitan pizza. After lunch, you will visit the main attraction of the city, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the ruins of Pompeii. You will learn how people lived at that time, until the tragic moment when the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD covered the city with volcanic ash and toxic gases. You will visit the houses, the frescoes and mosaics of the time, which are still perfectly preserved for you to see. After the excursion, you will return to Amalfi in a private car and check in at your hotel. 

Greca Tip: Be sure to get the local speciality, sfogliatelle, a crispy little cake filled with ricotta-cheese cream.

After savoring a delightful breakfast, you will have ample free time to explore Amalfi, which was once a thriving trading superpower during the Middle Ages. You can begin by visiting the magnificent Duomo, a towering cathedral that commands the main piazza.

Stroll through the charming streets, indulge in the delectable local cuisine, relax on the beach, venture into the surrounding countryside, or simply unwind and observe the bustling atmosphere.

For those seeking additional adventure, there is an optional tour available along the enchanting Amalfi Coast.

As the night approaches, you can enjoy a peaceful rest at your hotel, rejuvenating for the next day's adventures.

Greca Tip: Today, take the opportunity to wander around, taste the mouthwatering arancini, sample authentic pizza, and savor freshly battered and deep-fried calamari. You can also treat yourself to a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of nearby beaches, such as the picturesque Duoglio Beach.

You will enjoy free time until 15:30 hrs and hopefully it will be enough to visit some of those places you did not quite have the time to see, make some last-minute shopping and take in the atmosphere of this incredible sailors' town - an important as well as a popular destination since ancient times.

Afterwards, we will transfer you to Pompeii, where you will board the bus back to Rome. If traffic conditions allow, you will arrive in the Italian capital at about 21:00 hrs.

Greca Tip: Don't miss the delicious lemon ice cream so typical of this area.
