POMPEII AND AMALFI COAST
Pompeii, Positano and Ravello
One of our English speaking drivers will meet you in Amalfi port right where the tender of your cruise ship docks.
The tour will start a relaxing drive uphill along a very narrow road passing by several wineries and olive factories which will lead us to Ravello. This rural village completely unspoilt by tourism, is perched on top of the mountain cliff situated above Amalfi and Minori.
Ravello is famous for its breath-taking views, natural beauty and ancient monuments and these are seen at their very best in the stunning gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. In high season, these gardens are rich in the heady perfume of blooming flowers and sweet scent of lemons. Ravello is also denominated THE CITY OF THE MUSIC, here Richard Wagner composed his opera Parsifal.
After Ravello, you will drive approximately 1 hour before you reach the second stop of your tour: Pompeii, part of an ancient Roman city destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
The remainder of the uncovered city is buried under the new Pompeii rebuilt many years after the eruption. Archeological excavations are open to the public between the hours of 08:30 and 18:30 every day of the week, and either guides can be hired at the entrance or audioguides can be rented, with voice recordings in many languages to explain the sites.
Please note that since Pompeii is a popular area for tourists, we strongly recommend being cautious of your belongings and leave valuables at your ship! We would also advise that you take plenty of water, especially in the summer months and ensure you are either well covered or well slathered in sun cream as there is very little shade in which to escape the sun.
After Pompei, you will drive to Positano on the famous Amalfi Coast.
you will find yourself driving down-hill directly through Positano where you will descend down the winding one-way road, passing by many picturesque houses and shops, and ultimately arrive in the heart of the town, at “Piazza dei Mulini”. This is the last point accessible by car, so here is where your driver will park and you will walk downtown where all the streets lead to the waterfront. Here you can have about one hour to discover this beautiful village denominated “The Jewel of The Amalfi Coast”.
Positano has beautiful things to see: the cathedral, ceramic shops, lemons, hand-made shoes and, of course, “Positano fashion”.
After your time in Positano, you will continue along the Amalfi Coast road as you return to the port in Amalfi.
We reserve the right to change the order in which we visit the sites.This tour may be shortened depending on your ship's in port hours
