Our adventure to Pompeii and Capri was nothing short of magical, with each day packed full of stunning sights and rich culture. We found our accommodations in Sorrento to be cozy and inviting, a perfect base to unwind after our daily explorations. While the itinerary was ambitious, with so much to see, we occasionally wished for more time to soak in the beauty of each location, especially the breathtaking views from Capri.

Exploring the charm of Campania was a delightful experience, especially when visiting Pompeii and Capri. The overnight stays in Sorrento were a highlight, allowing me to soak in the local atmosphere and stunning coastal views. However, I did find some itineraries a bit rushed, which made it challenging to fully absorb the history and beauty of each site.
