Pompeii

Your first stop is Pompeii, one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, buried by volcanic ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. As you explore this extraordinary site, highlights include:

The Forum: The heart of Pompeii, surrounded by temples, markets, and public buildings where social and political life once thrived.

The Villa of the Mysteries: Famous for its well-preserved frescoes depicting Roman initiation rituals and mystery cults.

The Amphitheatre: One of the oldest and most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters, where gladiatorial contests and public spectacles were held.

The House of the Faun: A grand Roman villa with stunning mosaics and a large atrium.

The Casts of Victims: The plaster casts of the Pompeii residents who were caught in the eruption, providing a poignant and emotional connection to the site’s tragic history.

For a more in-depth experience, consider a private 2-hour guide who will bring the history of Pompeii to life, offering expert insights into the daily life of its residents and the eruption that led to its preservation.

Herculaneum

Next, continue to Herculaneum, another city that was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Smaller but better preserved than Pompeii, Herculaneum offers a unique glimpse into Roman life, with entire buildings, furniture, and even wooden structures preserved. Key highlights of Herculaneum include:

The Villa of the Papyri: A luxurious Roman villa believed to have belonged to a wealthy family, famous for its collection of carbonized scrolls.

The House of the Wooden Screen: A beautifully preserved home showcasing intricate mosaics and well-maintained Roman furniture.

The Forum: The central square where daily activities took place, surrounded by public buildings.

The Well-Preserved Baths: Roman public baths that showcase the advanced engineering and hygiene practices of the time.

Sorrento

After visiting Herculaneum, head to the picturesque town of Sorrento. Here, you’ll enjoy a relaxing stroll through the town's charming streets, taking in the sights and sounds of this Mediterranean gem. Sorrento is famous for its lemon groves, vibrant cliffside views, and its role as a gateway to the Amalfi Coast.
