Step inside the House of the Vettii in Pompeii for an intimate look at Roman domestic architecture and frescoes.
Itinerary
Begin at Piazza Tasso, the main square of Sorrento, and admire the Baroque Church of Santissima Annunziata. Wander the narrow alleys lined with shops selling limoncello, handmade goods, and lemon-themed souvenirs at your own pace.
Enter through the Porta Marina and head to the Forum, the civic heart of the ancient city, where temples and public buildings remain remarkably intact. Continue along the Via dell'Abbondanza and stop at the House of the Vettii to see some of Pompeii's finest surviving frescoes.
Arrive at the harbor of Cetara, where local fishermen still work using traditional nets and techniques. Sample the town's celebrated Colatura di Alici or pick up a jar to take home as a genuinely local souvenir.
Explore Piazza del Duomo and enter the Amalfi Cathedral, one of the finest examples of Arab-Norman architecture in the region. The adjacent Cloister of Paradise offers a quiet contrast to the lively square outside.
Take in the iconic beachfront of Positano, where pastel-colored buildings cascade down to a shoreline of colorful loungers and sun-seekers. The views here are among the most photographed on the entire Amalfi Coast.
Conclude the day by sampling fresh seafood and regional specialties at a traditional trattoria or cafe along the coast. Campanian cuisine at this level, locally sourced and simply prepared, is a fitting end to the journey.
