POMPEII AND WALK IN NAPLES
Pick up at the port of Salerno. Arriving in Naples our team of guides will welcome you.
Ancient and rich city, Pompeii is a magnificent and historical example of life in the year 79 AD. The city was completely covered by lava from Vesuvius volcano. The excavations began in the seventeenth century and have brought to light items of immeasurable value. The guide will wait for you at the pier and will take you to visit the impressive Ruins of Pompeii, at the foot of the imposing Mount Vesuvius. The route of the excavations begins in Porta Marina, the door of the economic and political center of the city. The guide will lead the passengers on their journey on foot and will evoke the history and experience of a typical day in antiquity. We can admire the luxury mansions and the fabulous art of the rich aristocrats who came to Pompeii to escape the crisis in Rome. Their houses were designed around an interior garden with few windows on the outside. We will visit one of the most modest houses and also explore the ancient baths, temples, theaters and markets. Return to Naples by bus for the panoramic visit of the city on foot: since the code of circulation of December 2012 does not allow the visit by coach.
We will discover the city through an interesting walk through the historic center. Admire the San Carlo Theater (exterior visit), designed by Antonio Niccolini between 1810 and 1816.
