Boat to Ischia. Transfer to the village of Fontana. From there, a walking ascent to Mount Epomeo: an easy hike through the heart of the island, reaching the summit at 790 meters (2592 feet) and offering breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naples and its islands.
Locals call Ischia “the Green Island,” and you’ll soon see why as you walk along the trails of Mount Epomeo. The island’s gray-green volcanic tuff, shaped over centuries by contact with seawater, gives the soil its fertility and creates a landscape that is rich, green, and lush.
Finally, remember that Ischia is famous for its many thermal springs, whose waters are known for their therapeutic properties. You can enjoy a relaxing soak to end the day before returning to Naples.

Private transfer to Herculaneum for a guided tour of the archaeological site. Buried along with Pompeii, the seaside town of Herculaneum was a popular holiday destination for the Romans. Located closer to Vesuvius than Pompeii, it was completely engulfed by lava and mud during the eruption of 79 AD, rather than by burning ash. This unique burial led to an exceptionally high level of
preservation. Late-afternoon transfer back to Naples.

From Marina Grande, the arrival port, take the funicular or walk up to the renowned Piazzetta. After a brief immersion in the jet-set atmosphere of this world-famous island, you quickly rediscover the peace and quiet surrounding the village as the excursion begins toward Villa Jovis, once the residence of Emperor Tiberius.
The walk continues to the Natural Arch, an impressive rock formation set between lush greenery and the deep blue of the sea. From there, head to the Punta Tragara Belvedere, offering stunning views of the Faraglioni—dramatic sea stacks featured in numerous films and immortalized in countless paintings.
Return to the village through charming narrow streets. Time for swimming if desired. Return to Naples by speed ferry.

Private transfer to Pompeii for a guided tour of the archaeological site. Visit the Pompeii Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This vast site—where excavations are still ongoing today—features numerous remarkably well-preserved and imposing structures, including the amphitheatre, the Forum, the public baths, and the magnificent Villa of the Mysteries. Even a bakery
and a brothel bear witness to the fact that Pompeii was a wealthy and densely populated city at the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The plaster casts of men and women caught by the volcanic ash on that tragic day offer a powerful and moving glimpse into the drama, even after nearly two millennia. Late-afternoon transfer to the hills of the Amalfi Coast. Welcome drink at your hotel.
Overnight in Agerola in a 3* hotel (Hotel Gentile); Half-board.
Hike along the Path of the Gods, from the village of Agerola down to the iconic seaside town of Positano. Passing through small vineyards and terraced lemon groves, the trail follows ancient stairways that descend from the hills toward the sea.
The Path of the Gods has mythical origins: according to legend, it was created by the footsteps of the gods themselves as they came to rescue Ulysses from the sirens, who dwelled in the Li Galli archipelago near Capri. The trail is truly spectacular, offering breathtaking views along its entire length.
As you descend toward Positano through fragrant, colorful Mediterranean scrub, you pass small villages and enjoy extraordinary vistas over the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and the Gulf of Salerno. Upon arrival in Positano, wander through its narrow streets lined with pastel-colored houses and local artisan shops, and treat yourself to a gelato or a refreshing lemonade made from local lemons.
Swimming time possible. Boat transfer to Amalfi and private transfer back to Agerola.

*FIRST AID KIT SUGGESTIONS:
After years of experience planning adventure travel around the world, we've learned that anything can happen, and every traveler should carry a basic personal first aid kit. We want to ensure our guests are well-prepared and make smart informed travel decisions. In many of the places we operate trips, it may be challenging to find certain medications and/or first aid supplies, and sometimes common items you desire may not be available in the destination you are travelling. That's why it's good to be prepared and carry a small supply of first aid supplies, any prescription medication, and/or over-the-counter medications you may require during your travels.
We recommend discussing your travel plans, vaccination requirements, and any medication usage with your primary healthcare provider before embarking on our trips. This helps ensure you have a safe and enjoyable travel experience.
Here is a basic list of what we think makes a good personal travel first aid kit:
▪ Medications – Brands of your choice, all medications should be either prescribed directly by your doctor or discussed with a doctor prior to use.
- Prescription Drugs – Any prescriptions you have from your doctor with back-up doses (always kept with you in carry-on luggage)
- Epinephrine – Consider bringing multiple doses of Epinephrine (EpiPen) if you have any severe known allergies and have a prescription from your doctor.
- Pain Relief – Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Non-Aspirin: Comparable to Tylenol – brand of choice
- Antihistamine – Diphen: Comparable to Benadryl – brand of choice
- Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief – Loratadine: Comparable to Claritin – brand of choice

PACKING FOR TRAVEL:
It is recommended that you prepare your items in the following manner for your travels to this trip.
“Carry-on Bag(s)” - This is the bag you will bring with you on the plane. We recommend all your pertinent information be in this bag (passport, travel documents, etc.) as well as your most important gear items (hiking footwear, jacket, prescription medication, etc.) in case any checked luggage items become lost or delayed.
“Checked Bag(s)” - This bag will be checked and contain the rest of your personal items (clothing and gear, etc.).
Important Note: Again, it is recommended to either wear or pack in your “Carry-on Bag” the main gear items you need for this trip vs. putting them in your checked “Travel Bag” (in case luggage is delayed). Hiking footwear is probably the hardest item to replace last minute if items become lost or delayed past the intended start date of the trip. Lost or delayed luggage has become more common in major airports for international travel since the global pandemic.
LUGGAGE MANAGEMENT DURING TRIP:
During this trip, the packing system needs to be in 2 bags.
Extra Luggage - “Checked Bag(s)” & ”Carry-on Bag(s)”: This bag will contain all the items you want to bring
along on the trip. It will be transferred by vehicle and stay at hotels. You will have access to it at the end of each
day of activity.
Day Backpack (not provided): All guests need a backpack, which they will be responsible for carrying during
trip activities. Items in this bag should include anything you may need throughout the day during the trip. (i.e.,
rain gear, warm layers, water, sunscreen/lip balm, snacks/food, camera/phone, etc.).
