Explore the ancient ruins of an entire city buried by a volcanic eruption at Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Observe the preserved stone streets and houses, as well as the remains of the famous Pompeii amphitheater.
A charming town located on a cliff top with a stunning sea view- enjoy shopping for ceramics, limoncello, and other Italian specialties, and have lunch at a local seafood restaurant.
Automobile or bus tour of the breathtaking UNESCO-listed coastal road, which stretches for 50 miles through small fishing villages, pastel-colored houses, turquoise waters, and cliffs along the bay.
Take the ferry across the bay and spend the evening enjoying the island's many attractions, including the Blue Grotto, Faraglioni Rocks, and the Piazzetta. Capri is a perfect blend of swanky, fashionable resorts and rugged, natural beauty.
For travelers seeking a longer and more adventurous trip, consider adding Vesuvius National Park or the Herculaneum ruins or substituting Capri for the island of Ischia. Combine with at least one-day travel time between your base city of Naples or Salerno.
