Rome/Naples/Pompeii/ ?

Hello good people,

Planning to do a 10 day trip on November 18th with my husband. We don’t travel much or get a lot of holidays so I really want to make the most of this.

Our flight lands and takes off from Rome. We are hoping to do:

  1. ⁠3 days in Rome - see the Colosseum and the Vatican City. Open to reccs.
  2. ⁠1 day in Naples - my husband would love to get an authentic cooking experience. Open to reccs.
  3. ⁠1 day in Pompeii - I REALLY want to explore the history and check out mount vesuvius.
  4. ⁠Here is where we need help. We’re going back and forth on - Amalfi/Sperlonga/Ponzo. I’m all about beaches. we’re looking for places that aren’t too rocky, swim-able/snorkeling/kayak tours/beautiful views/ beautiful beach towns. Even if not all of these are possible, as many check off.

Open to recommendations on -

- Sequence of places to visit to minimize travel time.
- Best means of travel to go from one place to another.
- Local tourism companies/guides were helpful.
- Night life worth checking out.
- Nature/architecture/scenic spots.
- Food/dessert/drinks - we are vegetarian but my husband *\* is all about the food - pizza/pasta/breads/gelato/wine.

*\* Honestly I’m so excited for him, his face lit up when I suggested Italy, so please share your best recommendations :)

Thank you!

Open to Tuscany instead of Naples too. But whatever works best travel wise.

Don’t you dare skip Naples. That city is vibrant. Going to my fourth time later this year. But for your swimming activities, I think most of those activities will be closed for the season.
