Itinerary
The territory of the National Park of Mt Vesuvius is a concentration of natural riches, history of volcanology, breathtaking landscapes, centuries-old crops and traditions that make the Vesuvius area one of the most fascinating and visited places in the world. The Vesuvius National Park was officially created on 5 June 1995 to preserve animal and plant species, plant and forest associations, geological singularities, paleontological formations, biological communities, biotopes, scenic and panoramic values, Natural processes, hydraulic and hydrogeological balances and ecological balances of the Vesuvian territory.
Vesuvius is an example of a fenced volcano consisting of an external cone, Monte Somma, with crateric belt largely demolished within which there is a smaller cone represented by Vesuvius, separated by a valley called Valle del Gigante, part of the ancient caldera, where during the eruption of 79 AD, the Great Cone was formed. Vesuvius is a polygenic and mixed volcano, consisting of lava of different chemical composition (for example trachyte, tephrites, leucitites) and formed by both lava flows and pyroclastic deposits.
THIS WINERY IS ON TUESDAY AND FRIDAY: Time for a typical light lunch in a local restaurant

About Sorrento
Sorrento perches on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, a charming lemon-scented town that makes an easy base for Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.
The town's centre is Piazza Tasso, from which narrow lanes run past churches, shops selling limoncello and inlaid woodwork, and the peaceful cloister of San Francesco. Steps and lifts lead down the cliffs to Marina Piccola, where the boats leave, and to Marina Grande, a fishing harbour with seafood restaurants right by the water.
Top-ranked sights in Sorrento: Marina Grande, Baths of Queen Giovanna (Bagni Regina Giovanna), Praiano.
