If you have two days, do not run a one-day plan twice. Design each day with a clear identity.

Day identities

Day 1: Volcano and landscape.
Day 2: Archaeology and urban context.

Sample structure

Day	Morning	Afternoon	Evening
1	Vesuvius ascent	Scenic and recovery	Naples waterfront
2	Pompeii deep loop	Flexible cultural stop	Slow dinner

Why this works

Less cognitive overload.
Better heat and fatigue management.
More meaningful memory of each site.

Task list

Book entries by day-specific priority
Keep one weather-flex slot
Protect one unstructured hour each day

Bottom line

Two days convert a checklist trip into a coherent Campania story.
