These works of art usually follow four main themes and are sure to be an enchanting sight. Return to the hotel in time for dinner this evening.

Pompeii was frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD and on today's tour you'll see its fascinating collection of ruins. Wander through the streets to see villas decorated with frescos, brightly coloured mosaics, and highlights such as the remarkable Roman baths and spectacular amphitheatre. Sorrento is the next call, a lively resort set above the Bay of Naples which has long been a haunt of the rich and famous.
