Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Amphitheatre of Pompeii

The oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre, at the far end of the Pompeii site from the main entrance — which is why most visitors turn back before reaching it and why it is often nearly empty. Pompeii itself needs three hours minimum, good shoes and water; the site is large, hard and unshaded.
