Excursion


Excursion Positano Amalfi & Ravello

The pick up will be at 8.00am
We will meet at the Port of Naples directly by the ship.
Here we will be able to introduce ourselves properly and then we will head towards Sorrento travelling along the famous road named the "Costiera Amalfitana" or "The Amalfi Coast".

Driving down-hill directly through Positano descending the winding one-way road, bypassing many local restaurants, leads to the heart of the town - the busy central Piazza dei Mulini that is connected to a narrow downhill path and some occasional flights of steps that lead to the seafront. At Piazza dei Mulini, you must leave the car as all streets leading to the waterfront are for pedestrians only. These streets also lead to the cathedral, shops selling ceramics, lemons, shoes and “Positano fashion” clothing. There is a short walk back uphill in order to return to the car and this time, ascending the mountain, returning to the main coastal road that leads to Amalfi. The coastal road begins after Sorrento, runs through Positano, the fishing villages of Praiano, Furore and Conca dei Marini, and continues until it reaches the busy square of Amalfi which is situated on the seafront - the port and a long stretch of pebbled beach. In front of the port of Amalfi, there is the one and only bus station along the coast. Behind this square lies the main shopping street of Amalfi that terminates at the furthest and highest point of the town. Along the pedestrian street are various bars and cafés, not to mention the many shops selling limoncello, casual clothing, swimwear, gifts, basic groceries, and of course, ceramics. However, if one would like to see more than just shops, Amalfi has some interesting sights to explore: the most spectacular cathedral along the coast, the paper factory and its museum. A slow uphill drive along a very narrow road passing several wineries and olive factories etc, leads to Ravello, a rural village un spoilt by tourism, perched on top of the mountain cliff situated above Amalfi and Minori. Ravello, being famous for its breath-taking views, natural beauty and ancient monuments are presented at their best in the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. In high season, these gardens are rich in sweet secants of blooming flowers, shadows of flora and perfume of lemons. There are also many classical concerts held in the gardens of Villa Rufolo, located just off the main square of Ravello. Apart from the main cathedral, also situated in the square, and a history museum constructed in the basement of the cathedral, there are many other churches to visit given that there used to be a total of 13 churches in the village. Along the narrow arches of Via Roma one will find a few small boutiques and souvenir shops.
The return to the boat is at 5:00pm

Excursion Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvius

The ruins of Pompeii, part of an ancient Roman city destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. can be visited during this tour. The remainder of the uncovered city is today buried under the new Pompeii rebuilt many years subsequent to the eruption. Archeological excavations are open to the public between the hours of 09:00 and 18:00 every day of the week, guides can be hired at the entrance or headphones can be rented, voicing explanations of the sites.

Herculaneum is an ancient residential town of Greek origin, destroyed and buried in ashes, together with Pompeii, by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. that also offers a variety of beautiful scenery and invaluable arts. Excavations began by accident in 1709 when some workers were digging a well - they discovered a wall which was later found to be one of the stages of the ancient theatre. Later, there were many human skeletons uncovered at the ancient shoreline, suggesting that numerous inhabitants attempted to escape but perished when mountains collapsed and volcanic gases were released. Please note that since Herculaneum is a popular area for tourists, we strongly recommend being cautious of your belongings!
Mount Vesuvius is certainly the most important and the most interesting volcano existing in Europe. Famous for having buried, but also preserved for us, the two most famous archaeological sites (POMPEII & HERCULANEUM) it owes its importance to its imposing size being the biggest on continental Europe (not mentioning Etna in Sicily) with a max height of 1281 mt and diameter of the top cone (600 mt) Through the centuries many have been the eruptions, but never that catastrophically, like the one of 79 A.D. The last eruption was in march 1944 during the second world war. After that one the volcano stopped smoking from its top. In 1880 a cable-car (funicular) was inaugurated and for the ceremony the famous Funiculi' Funicula' song was composed.

Excursion Naples

“Bella Napoli”, where the pizza Margherita was born - a city having many different colors and many different sides, renowned for the character of its people who say “see Naples and then die”. Naples is situated in the bay where Mont Vesuvius forms the backdrop to the city that should be toured WITHOUT wearing any jewellery, for ladies not to be carrying handbags and for money to be kept in front pockets rather than wallets or purses! Apart from shopping at its best along the streets of Via Chiaia, Via Roma, Corso Umberto, Via Caracciolo and the shopping mall “Galleria Umberto”, the city is dripping with art, culture and history. Visit the museum of National Archaeology and the museum Capodimonte that exhibits works of the Renaissance and baroque masters (don’t miss the impressive ceiling). See the cathedral of San Gennaro, impressing churches of San Lorenzo and Gesù Nuovo, the charterhouse of San Martino and the cloister of Santa Chiara. There is the theatre of San Carlo and a nearby bar “Gambrinus” (the bar of the artists) that inherited its name from all the artists that used to drink there after exiting the theatre. There are various squares such as the Piazza Municipio where the castle of Maschio Angioino is located, and the vacant Royal Palace of the former Royal family that rests in Piazza Plebiscito. To sample an authentic Neapolitan pizza we recommend the restaurant “Brandi” that is to be found along the shopping street of Via Chiaia. Our rates include transportation in a comfortable van equipped with double air-conditioning and refreshments, English speaking driver, highway tolls, car fuel and parking. Exclude: Entrance tickets, lunch and any eventual extras and gratuities.
