TOUR N. 31: POMPEII - POSITANO - RAVELLO
One of our English speaking driving guides will be near the gangway of your ship at 8 am with the Luxury vehicle of your choice to begin this fantastic 9 hour tour.
The Amalfi coast, one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world which has given inspiration to many artists, poets and writers for centuries. The scenery is characterised by mighty cliffs that drop into the sea, breathtaking scenery, lovely little bays and natural coves.
Our first stop is for photographs over the enchanting town of Positano with Moorish looking architecture and famous high-fashion shops.
The town develops vertically. The homes, one on top of the other, are characterised by arched porticos that give onto the sea, and are painted in pastel colours.
The narrow streets, lined with boutiques and fashion shops, run downhill between the homes flowing onto Positano's wide beach. From here you will have a beautiful view of the sea and the town, as it climbs up the mountainside. On Positano main plaza we'll find the parish of Santa Maria Assunta, there since the year 1,000. The great coloured majolica cupola is visible from all over town. The little beaches of Positano are charming, and easy to get to on foot.
We then drive along the coastline enjoying the flora and fauna, an area full of colour against the contrasting blue and emerald sea.
We'll then continue to the elegant resort of Ravello, a town of natural beauty, exotic plants and relaxing atmosphere. Here you can enjoy a traditional lunch at a restaurant (not included) with stunning panoramic views.
After lunch you will be driven to Pompeii considered the only archaeological site with a true and complete image of an ancient Roman city.
You will be able to marvel the amazing temples, the beautiful Roman baths, shops, streets and the mosaics that even today are still intact in the Roman villas. The historic and architectural heritage of the area never disappointed even the most demanding visitor.
