You climb aboard in central Naples as the city thins and Vesuvius first comes into view — a gray cone over a spread of modern rooftops. The coach hums south and, within an hour, you stand at the threshold of Pompeii where sun-bleached stone streets and open-air houses hold the footprints of a city frozen by the 79 AD eruption.

History
Pompeii was buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD and preserved under volcanic ash; Amalfi later rose as a maritime republic influential in medieval Mediterranean trade.

Comfortable footwear
Streets in Pompeii are uneven volcanic stone; closed-toe walking shoes with good grip are essential for stability and comfort.
Hydrate and refill
Carry a 1L refillable water bottle — water sources are limited at the sites and the midday sun on the coast can be strong.
Sun protection
A hat, sunscreen and sunglasses matter more than you think; the coast reflects sunlight and ruins offer little shade.

With roughly 90 minutes in Amalfi, prioritize a short coastal walk and a quick visit to the cathedral square to make the most of your free time.
