Depart Rome and journey by 8-passenger minivan towards the Mediterranean Coast of Campania. Get your first views of the amazing Amalfi Coast and stop on the highway for breakfast. Continue to the archaeological site of Pompeii and discover the remains of an everyday town of Ancient Rome. Hear how it was buried under lava when the volcano of Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.
