Day 3 Rome to Sorrento
A morning visit to the Castelli Romani, or ‘castles
of Rome’, once the country retreat of wealthy
Romans, is followed by a trip to the village of
Castel Gandolfo, home of the Pope’s summer
residence. We then head to Sorrento, one of
Italy’s best holiday resorts, with its pretty marina,
relaxed atmosphere and fantastic shopping for
four nights at the 3* Hotel Tirennia (or similar). The
hotel also offers a wonderful rooftop terrace
where you can relax with a refreshing drink and
soak up the Neapolitan sunshine. (B,D)
 
Day 4 Pompeii and Vesuvius
The eruption of Vesuvius in AD79 engulfed
Pompeii in a cloud of ash and lava, creating the
finest monument and most complete record of
everyday life in the Roman Empire to be found
anywhere. A guided tour takes you to the
mosaics, shops, villas, theatres and streets of this
city, before a visit to the mighty volcano itself that
broods mightily over the Bay of Naples.

not included, however, discounts may apply. (B,D)

A once in a lifetime experience driving along the

enjoy the views from another angle. (B,D)
