Take the Circumvesuviana train from Naples Garibaldi station to Pompeii Scavi-Villa dei Misteri station; it takes approximately 30-40 minutes, providing an easy and fast route to the archaeological site.
Explore the remarkably preserved ruins of Pompeii, a Roman city frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Allocate at least 3 hours to cover major highlights like the Forum, Amphitheatre, and Villa of the Mysteries.
Take the train back to Naples, then board a ferry from Molo Beverello port to Capri. The ferry ride lasts about 45 minutes with beautiful coastal views.
Wander through Capri’s famous Piazzetta, the lively square full of cafes and boutiques, then visit the peaceful Gardens of Augustus for stunning views of the Faraglioni rocks.
Take a 1-hour private or group boat tour around Capri to see the Blue Grotto and dramatic coastline, departing from Marina Grande harbor. Note that the Blue Grotto entry depends on sea conditions and may close by late afternoon.
