Walk through the remarkably preserved streets of an ancient Roman city, frozen in time by Vesuvius's eruption. It's a truly immersive historical experience. Booking advice: Purchase tickets online in advance to avoid long queues. Good to know: Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as it's a large site with limited shade.

Experience the iconic beauty of Positano by descending its characteristic stepped lanes, offering breathtaking views at every turn, leading to the main beach. Good to know: Wear comfortable shoes as there are many steps; the Spiaggia Grande is a pebble beach.

Good to know: Start early to avoid the heat, bring plenty of water, and wear appropriate hiking shoes. The trail is well-marked but uneven in places.
Fornillo Beach is a slightly quieter alternative to the main beach in Positano, perfect for a refreshing swim after a day of exploring. Good to know: It's a pebble beach, so water shoes can be helpful.
