Proceeding along the Bay of Naples, with the ominous figure of Mount Vesuvius to the east, you will get spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the islands.
POMPEII
Pompeii is 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 the Roman city, the site 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.
After your visit,stop for a quick bit before heading back to your hotel in Rome.
