Features of this day trip to Pompeii & Capri from Naples:
This tour starts at 8.00 am at the pier in Naples, where you will be
picked up by your driver and licensed guide. After a scenic drive along
the bay of Naples with the brilliant Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the looming
figure of Mt. Vesuvius to the east, you will arrive at Pompeii.
POMPEII
From the pier, after a 45-minute ride in a comfortable, air-conditioned
deluxe minivan or sedan, you will reach a place where time has stood still
since 79 AD. Since that fateful day when the cataclysmic eruption of Mt.
Vesuvius rained tons of ash and lava down on Pompeii, the Roman city remained buried in a
perfectly preserved state until excavations began in the 18th century. What was
brought to light is now one of Italy's most fascinating and frequented
attractions.
At the Pompeii ruins, you will learn about the technique of pouring
liquid plaster into the empty spaces in the lava to recreate the bodily forms that once filled the voids. In this way, we are able to see what the residents were doing at the time of the eruption.
As you tour the streets of the ancient town with your guide, you'll be walking
in the steps of the Romans who lived there almost 2000 years ago, amongst the
public baths, temples, markets and forums. The buildings are nothing less than
intriguing, and some of the houses still contain their original marble
decoration, well-preserved frescoes and splendid mosaics.
You will have 2 hours to tour Pompeii with your private guide, who will
also, accompany you on the hydrofoil to Capri from Naples.
