Pompeii
Every
day (except Dec. 25th and Jan. 1st) - Full day - Approx 8
hours
With our local guide we will start a short city tour
crossing the historical center to see Piazza Del Plebiscito,
the Royal Palace, the Basilica of San Francesco Di Paola,
the San Carlo Opera House, the Gallery of Umberto I and the
imposing Maschio Angioino. Upon leaving the city, we cross
the fertile valley of Mount Vesuvius, passing the villages
of Ercolano, Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata before
finally arriving at Pompeii where we will first have a stop
for lunch before visiting the excavations. After lunch a
local guide will take us on an approx 2 hour archeological
journey on foot to see some of what have been discovered in
approx 1900 years since Pompeii was covered by ashes during
the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. Through the
remains and ruins of this ancient city, we can picture the
everyday life of the Imperial Age and imagine the panic felt
by the people in those last few minutes before the city was
so disastrously buried. At the end of the visit to Pompeii
we will then return to Naples - Beverello where the tour
ends. No return to hotel included. During this excursion we
will visit a Coral and Cameo factory where we will have the
opportunity to inspect and purchase items of this ancient
craft dating back to the Greek times.
N.B.: We suggest that you wear comfortable clothes
and shoes for this excursion, and to wear sunglasses and sun
hats in the summer months.
