Even if your interests do not lie in history, this is an archaeological site that cannot fail to impress you.
Mount Vesuvius dominates the Bay of Naples. It is the only active volcano on the mainland of Europe. The slopes were once covered with vineyards and woods and provided an innocent looking backdrop for the bustling town below. Your private driver will take you to within nearly 1,000 yards of the top of Vesuvius and from here you can walk/hike to the very top and admire the splendid panoramic views across the bay. From the blackened crater rises a single plume of smoke, a reminder that the volcano is only sleeping for now.
