RUINS OF POMPEII
Pompeii
Pompeii holds an intense fascina-tion for visitors today. Following the eruption of the volcano mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, Pom-peii lay buried and forgotten for hundreds of years. The town is high on the list of Wonders of the World and the excavations which began in the 18th century are still being carried out today.
Our guide will take you slow-ly through some of the ancient streets of Pompeii where you can see Baths, Forums and villas built by the prosperous Romans in the year 80 BC. Marvel at the fabu-lously preserved frescoes which adorned the walls and floors of the villas. Even if your interests do not lie in the history, this is an archaeo-logical site which cannot fail to im-press you.
Discover the ancient ruins of Pompeii!

HERCULANEUM
Herculaneum
Herculaneum was a residential coastal town which has been superbly preserved due to the fact that it was covered in vol-canic mud during the eruption of Vesu-vius in 79 AD. The guide will give people the chance to view the town from above before heading down and beginning the guided tour which lasts about an hour. The buildings have been so well pre-served that you can walk down the streets pretty much exactly as the Romans would have done over 2000 years ago! There are still original timbers showing in the buildings and clay pots stored as they would have been at the time of the eruption. The tour takes in many of the most important sites including the public baths with their well preserved frescoes and mosaics along with the shops and gymnasium and much more. It is all in all a fascinating tour of possibly one of the best preserved examples of a Roman res-idential town in the world, brought to life by the years of study and knowledge of our guides. Return to resort around 1:00 pm.
Enjoy the area’s most impressive sites and get a glimpse of daily life in ancient Italy on this incredible trip!

Pompeii & Herculaneum
Pompeii holds an intense fascination for visi-tors today. Following the eruption of the vol-cano mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, Pom-peii lay buried and forgotten for hundreds of years. The town is high on the list of Wonders of the World and the excavations which be-gan in the 18th century are still being carried out today.
Our guide will take you slowly through some of the ancient streets of Pompeii where you can see Baths, Forums and villas built by the prosperous Romans in the year 80 BC. Mar-vel at the fabulously preserved frescoes which adorned the walls and floors of the villas. Even if your interests do not lie in the history, this is an archaeological site which cannot fail to impress you. Herculaneum was a residential town without Pompeii’s commercial impor-tance, surrounded by the villas of the wealthy Romans. When the catastrophe of 79 AD oc-curred Herculaneum was submerged under a torrent of mud and lava that hardened into a soft tufa (a kind of course rock) that preserved many of the timber features and household objects which can be seen today. A large por-tion of the old Herculaneum is still buried un-der the modern town and even today excava-tions are going on to discover what treasures lie buried under the rock, to the extent that some families are being rehoused so work can continue.

The town is built on different levels from the main road all the way down to sea level, giving the image of a waterfall of build-ings cascading down to the sea.
