We've squeezed an evening and morning in Pompeii while traveling from Umbria to the Amalfi Coast in the second week of October. We'll arrive in Pompei late afternoon, spend the night and then would like to spend the next morning touring the site.
Any recommendations for that first evening - places to stroll,restaurants to try, etc - would be appreciated.
Then I'm curious what people think the best strategy is for seeing the ruins in a morning - get a guide (recommendations or warnings?), do it on our own, dont miss , focus on .
I know we're probably rushing it, but this is a bonus that we could squeeze in the time we do have, so we want to make the most of that.
