What to expect
Your driver meets you at Salerno port with a cooled vehicle and confirms the day's order—usually Pompeii first, then the coast. At the archaeological site, your guide walks you through preserved homes, forums and amphitheatres for roughly 2.5 hours, explaining how residents lived before Vesuvius. Afterwards, you drive inland then rise above the Tyrrhenian Sea on the hairpin Amalfi road, stopping for photos at vertigo-inducing pullouts. You'll have a few hours free in Positano to wander narrow alleys, browse boutiques, grab lunch (not included), or sit on the pebble beach.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes—Pompeii's ancient streets are uneven and Positano's village is steep. Bring sun protection and water. Notify the operator of your ship's name, docking and re-boarding times at booking. Infant car seats available. Valid passport required.
