Galleria Umberto I: a magnificent 19th-century glass-roof shopping arcade with elegant interiors and mosaic floors—great for shopping and dining. Mt. Vesuvius – Europe’s only active volcano, famed for its destructive eruptions. Hike up to the crater viewpoint: see the crater up close and sulfur steam; from the summit, enjoy panoramic views over Naples, Capri and the Pompeii area. Pompeii Archaeological Site – an open-air history textbook revealing everyday Roman life from 2,000 years ago.

Temple of Apollo & Forum: the political, religious and commercial centre, surrounded by key public buildings—feel the heart of Roman city planning.

Day 2: Sorrento → Capri Island → Blue Grotto → Sorrento (45 km)

Sorrento – perched on dramatic tuff cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples, an ideal base for Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Capri Island – a famed retreat for Roman emperors, artists and the wealthy, celebrated for sapphire- blue waters and luxury villas. Sorrento Ferry Pier: take an optional ferry to Capri (about 40 minutes). Blue Grotto: take an optional small boat (about 15 minutes) to this must-see sea cave, famous for its dreamlike glowing blue water—often called the “Mediterranean Sapphire”.

Day 3: Sorrento → Amalfi Coast → Positano → Amalfi Town (65 km)

Amalfi Coast – one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines and a “must-visit in a lifetime”; known for dramatic cliffs, colorful towns and rich history. Positano – the jewel of the Amalfi Coast, often called one of the most romantic towns on the Mediterranean, famous for its vertical landscape and pastel houses. Amalfi Town – once an independent Maritime Republic, now a charming seaside resort with a strong historic atmosphere.
