Private Pompeii & Sorrento with Positano Photo Stop

Leaving from the cruise ship terminal in Salerno you will be provided with a private guide and driver and set off on your exploration of Pompeii, Sorrento, and Positano.

Located on the plain at the eastern slopes of Vesuvius, to the right of the lower reaches of the river Sarno, Pompeii is one of the largest archaeological areas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient Roman city, buried by the sudden eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, has been brought to light in the archeological site. The rain of ash and lava and the resulting thick layer of dust have crystallized, preserving Pompeii for centuries. Brought to the surface, Pompeii is the most visited archaeological site in the world and one of the most fascinating.

After exploring ancient ruins, continue to Sorrento, one of the jewels of the Amalfi Coast. Be mesmerized with lush views of olive groves and vineyards, and the fragrant lemon and grapefruit trees that pepper gardens tucked into terraces of this uniquely beautiful town. Enjoy the many flavors and colors of typical products from this region, make sure to try the famous and delicious liquor made with the areas lemons called limoncello at a local limoncello factory. The peninsula is situated on a tufaceous terrace, overlooking the sea on the northern slopes of the Lattari Mountains. It seems the name "Sorrento" is derived from the name "Sirenia," meaning sirens, the legendary creatures that the Homeric tradition handed down as a half woman half fish, who bewitched the sailors with their songs, making them wreck against the rocks.

From Sorrento, you'll drive to a local venue near Positano for a quick photo stop, giving you a glimpse of the postcard-pretty town that rises along the cliffside, with its houses stacked like sun-bleached jewels above the stunning blue coastline. Though you won't be visiting the town itself, this stop offers a chance to capture the essence of Positano's beauty from a scenic vantage point.

Your day will end with a return by your driver to Salerno and the pier area and your ship.
