A dedicated day for Pompeii
Two bases: Naples and the coast
One or two coastal towns per day
01 Day 1
Naples
Arrival and the historic centre
After check-in, explore a neighbourhood or church in the historic centre. Enjoy a local dinner suited to dietary needs and keep arrival day free of excursions.
02 Day 2
Naples
A museum and the bay
Choose the Archaeological Museum or another main visit, then take a break before the waterfront. Plan for slopes, local transport and actual walking distances.
03 Day 3
Pompeii
Make room for the ancient city
Visit Pompeii with time to understand its streets and homes. Bring water and sun protection, adapt to the areas open, and return to Naples afterwards.
04 Day 4
Sorrento
Move to the coast
Travel to Sorrento or the agreed coastal base. Use the afternoon to settle in and enjoy the sea, without adding the whole coastal road to transfer day.
05 Day 5
Amalfi Coast
Choose two towns and stay a while
Depending on your base and connections, choose Amalfi with Ravello, or Positano and nearby coastline. Allow time for lunch and views; confirm transport for the season and conditions.
06 Day 6
Coast → departure
Leave a departure buffer
Depart according to your station or airport. Add a day with a weather alternative if you want Capri, rather than visiting the island before an international flight.
