No Experience Required

You step off an air-conditioned coach into a sunlit clearing on Vesuvius’ lower slopes, wind carrying the scent of thyme and the faint sulfur tang from fumaroles. The path narrows into pumice and baked earth; a steady 25-minute climb from the 1,000 m drop-off threads between volcanic scree and scrub until the crater rim opens, offering a raw panorama of the Bay of Naples and the speckled islands beyond.
