Mount Vesuvius- 5 hours (Available Everyday)
Visit Mt. Vesuvius, the deadly volcano that killed thousands. Thousands of prosperous citizens would have sought comfort in the majesty of Mount Vesuvius and
regarded it as nothing less than a gift from the gods. In those days of abundant plenty, no Neapolitan would have anticipated the hidden threat of their beloved
mountain that erupted violently during the morning of August 24, AD 79, unceremoniously removing all surrounding cities within a X radius of Vesuvius, from the face
of the earth. Since then, Vesuvius has erupted about three dozen times. The most recent eruption from 1913-1944 was thought to be the end of an eruptive cycle that
began in 1631, however unpredictably the last eruption of Vesuvius was on 23 November 1980 that killed over 3,000 people. View the crater of Vesuvius, 1281 meters
above sea level, by walking for approximately 45 minutes up the steep mount, as the road for vehicles terminates half way up this climb.

of its fantastic position half way between the sky and the sea. It rises on average at around
500 metres above sea level. The view is incomparable when seen from Praiano and Positano.
