Helicopter Flight

Once airborne, the flight heads in the direction of the breath-taking Amalfi Coast, and offers spectacular vistas of steep cliffs and picturesque villages. Next, fly over the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, excavated towns that were destroyed by the disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and close by the symbol of the Bay of Naples, Mt. Vesuvius, the still-active volcano which features a lava river formed by the last eruption in 1944.
