Pompeii & Mount Vesuvius Journey

Your adventure begins with hotel pickup in Palinuro, followed by a bus ride to Pompeii, a premier archaeological location in Italy.

Upon arrival, prepare to be transported back in history as we delve into the fascinating past of this remarkable Roman city. We will tour key highlights within this archaeological zone, including the Forum, the ancient baths, and the impressive Building of Eumachia, known for its historical significance as a former wool market and likely, the fulcrum of the fullers' guild.

Continuing our exploration, we will visit the Basilica, a historic public structure that served as a courthouse, as well as the Lupanar and the Large Theatre, designed to take advantage of the natural hillside. Remarkably, this theater still hosts theatrical and musical events today. After exploring some domus, villas, and taverns, enjoy some free time to relax before we transition to the next phase of our journey.

Next, we will make our way to Mount Vesuvius, recognized as one of the most perilous volcanoes globally. Here, we'll undertake a hiking path that leads to the summit, where you'll be rewarded with captivating views of the Gulf of Naples. The breathtaking panorama will be unforgettable!

Our excursion will wrap up at 7:30 pm with a return to your hotel in Palinuro.
