]]> The ancient Roman city of Pompeii sleeps under the rain of lapilli and ash of the volcano Vesuvius, which immersed it in 79 AD. Here, time stands still. The houses, pots and pans and all of the furnishings remain as they were at the moment of the eruption. Visiting Pompeii will be an unforgettable experience because you will be able to see ancient Roman civilization before your very eyes: the forum, basilica, streets, houses, temples, bottegas and bath complexes.  All in contrast to Sorrento, still today brimming with life, thanks to the talent of its artisans who continue to produce everything from carved wood to limoncello according to tradition. A tour of the artisan workshops is obligatory for finding a special item to take home, whether you would like a bottle of limoncello or a lemon soap.

]]> Naples is a city of contrasts, good and bad, joy and sadness, beauty and decay. The contrasting souls of the city live side by side on its streets. It is not uncommon to see remnants of the ancient past coexisting with the worst signs of modernity, traffic and chaos. But it is just this that makes the city unique. Spaccanapoli, the ancient Roman decumanus that divides the entire city in two, the royal palace of Naples, rebuilt for the visit of the capricious King Philip III who then never showed up, the Archaeological Museum, which houses numerous finds from nearby Pompeii, the underground city running.

]]> Mount Vesuvius is on the coast of the Bay of Naples, about nine kilometres (six miles) east of Naples. It is conspicuous in the beautiful landscape presented by that bay, when seen from the sea, with Naples in the foreground. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and the death of 10,000 to 25,000 people. Enjoy stepping back into the time of the Roman Empire in Pompeii with a local expert guide. The excursion will take you along the coastal road to the highway and up to Pompeii, which was buried under cinder in 79 A.D. in one of the most disastrous volcanic eruptions of the history.
