Day 3: Ravello and Pompeii
Enjoy a drive along the coast in the opposite direction today, stopping briefly in Ravello. The entire town was built as a terrace with a vista to the sea, with views that inspired many, including the composer Richard Wagner. Head back inland to the ancient site of Pompeii, where an expert local guide joins you to talk about this ancient city that was covered by volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. The ruins were discovered in the 18th century, and the same ash that buried the city centuries before held the structures in place, leaving it the best-preserved example of a Roman city.
