Naples Tour from Rome
Description
This four-day tour gives you the opportunity to discover the historical density of Naples, the almost legendary Pompeii and the gorgeous Amalfi Coast. Marvel at the natural and architectonic beauty of Amalfi, where manmade buildings seamlessly blend into the paradisiacal surroundings.
