Pick up at the hotel/port/station in Naples around 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. and transfer via highway directly to the small town of Torre del Greco where we begin our ascent passing through Vesuvius National Park to an altitude of 1,000 meters. From the parking lot you will access the path that leads to the top of the only still active volcano in continental Europe. Two hours at your disposal to reach the summit and walk around the crater at 1,200 meters to admire the enchanting bay of Naples from Cape Miseno to the tip of Campanella, take photos, enjoy a coffee at the chalet and listen to the explanation of the volcanological guide made available to you on the crater inside the ticket. You can enter the guide collection point at the crater entrance and ask about the explanation in your native language. Meet at the parking lot at the time indicated by the driver and return to Naples, arriving at the hotel around 1:00 p.m.
