Bay of Naples Trip 2012
Including Pompeii, Vesuvius, Paestum, Amalfi and Sorrento

Customised Educational Visits to the Bay of Naples
Friends of Sorrento helps teachers organise educational visits to the beautiful Bay of Naples in Campania, Italy. The visit itinerary is cross curricular and aimed at students studying in the following areas: geography, travel and tourism, ancient history, music and art. It provides a rich “hands on” learning experience which could never be replicated in the classroom. They will experience life in an ancient Roman town, walk through Greek temples and see the islands of mythical legends, enjoy the regional culture and traditions, travel through diverse and beautiful landscapes including a visit to the world’s most famous volcano!

The following example itinerary illustrates the range and diversity of activities and experiences available and can be customised to suit individual school requirements in terms of content and number of days. If you would like further information please telephone 01446 771220.

Day One
Students are met on arrival at Naples airport and taken by air-conditioned coach to their hotel in Sorrento. Depending on flight times it may be possible to visit Sorrento's historic centre and its museum in the afternoon before returning to the hotel for an evening meal and relaxation before a very busy next day.

Day Two
After breakfast the coach drives to Pompeii for a guided tour of this world famous archaeological site to see how people lived in 79 AD at the time Mount Vesuvius erupted and engulfed Pompeii. After a light lunch at a typical trattoria, where the students can also try out some basic language skills, the trip continues to Vesuvius. Under supervision of a specialist guide, the students will walk up to a viewing area at the crater’s edge. This vantage point will also provide panoramic views across the Bay of Naples towards Capri and Sorrento. Return to hotel for an evening meal before visiting Sorrento for a well earned ice-cream and shopping.

Day Three
A journey along the breathtaking Amalfi coast includes the historically important town of Amalfi and superb views of Il Galli rocks, where the mythological Sirens lived according to the legendary story of Odysseus. After a light lunch at a
trattoria, the coach visits Paestum for a guided tour of the well preserved Greek temples and the museum. Return to hotel for evening meal before visiting the Sorrento Musical with its traditional Neapolitan songs, dances and folklore.

Day Four
After breakfast the students are taken by coach to Naples airport.
