his tour will give you a real dose of history. You’ll make the scenic boat trip to the port of Castellammare di Stabia. From here, it’s a short bus ride to the Roman city of Pompeii. You’ll feel as if you’ve travelled back in time as a guide leads you around the once sprawling metropolis. Temples, villas and streets look more or less as they did 2,000 years ago, when Mount Vesuvius blew its top. You can even catch a glimpse of the residents who were turned to stone as they fled. Next, you’ll head to the mighty volcano itself. It’s one of the world’s most famous and the only active volcano in mainland Europe. A 20-minute hike will lead you to its crater, where you’ll have views of the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Once you’ve descended, you’ll hit the water again – this time stopping for a swim, before heading to Sorrento port.This tour will give you a real dose of history.
