Trip Overview

Based in the beautiful town of Castellammare di Stabia, you'll spend eight days on this wonderful Gulf of Naples and Amalfi Coast tour!

The town is surrounded by lush green, fertile hills and nearby you'll find the ruins of Stabiae, Pompeii and the Herculaneum.

Over the eight days, you'll explore the beautiful towns including Positano and Amalfi, you'll also take a boat trip to Capri from Sorrento as well as enjoying a wine tasting there as part of your Amalfi Coast tour. For your dose of ancient history, you'll explore the ruins of Pompeii and Stabiae, ancient settlements that were destroyed by Mount Vesuvius eruptions.

Relax and Departure

Today, you'll enjoy your last day on the Gulf of Naples and take a stroll around Castellammare di Stabia or go to the beaches with Mount Vesuvius in front of you. Castellammare di Stabia is just as beautiful as its neighbours such as Sorrento but is a lot quieter and a lot cheaper so makes spending a day here relaxing a lot easier and more peaceful.
