private half
day shore excursion to Pompei from Naples
group size: the size of your party
Heading south along the coastal highway with distant views of Vesuvius
and of the Bay of Naples drive to ancient Pompei the world most
fascinating archaeological site. Once a thriving city this exciting
ancient times playground was devastated by the eruption of Vesuvius in
79 AD when 30 feet of volcanic ashes and lava buried it underground.
Ironically one of the ancient world major disasters preserved time in
Pompei where present time visitors experiences life as it was lived in
79AD. Enjoy a breathtaking look through the centuries as you step back
into antiquity. See the Forum, heart of the ancient city, surrounded by
imposing temples and gorgeous residences. Begin to grasp the lifestyle
of the inhabitants. See theatres, villas, shops, commercial districts,
public baths or thermae where people relaxed and socialized and see even
plaster casts of some city residents in their last moments. Admire
countless wall paintings decorating wealthy patrician mansions and be
amused by some curious naughty inscriptions. See the streets with
pavements on both side and the stepping stones that ensured pedestrians
safe crossing at intersections. Time may be allocated to visit a cameo
carvers workshop where local artisans can be seen at work in their
centuries old tradition.
