🗺️ The Itinerary

Depart Sorrento meeting point via air-conditioned vehicle for the 45-minute drive to Pompeii Archaeological Park. Enter through priority access and begin at the Forum area (45 minutes) before proceeding to the ancient baths and bakeries (30 minutes). Continue through residential areas to view preserved frescoes and mosaics (45 minutes). Walking through the ancient amphitheater with its original stone seating creates an immediate connection to the 20,000 Romans who once cheered gladiatorial contests here.

Total walking distance approximately 3 km on uneven ancient stone surfaces.
