More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan and the air tastes faintly of citrus and salt — Sorrento’s narrow streets open like a postcard, bright laundry and shuttered windows framing views toward the Bay of Naples. Later the ground underfoot changes; stones worn smooth by two millennia guide you through Pompeii’s grid of shops, homes and frescoed rooms, while Vesuvius watches from the skyline, its slopes sculpted by ash and time.
