2024 Naples Local Highlights Option - 8 Hours - Provided by J&J Services Italy
Guests will enjoy a pre-arranged sightseeing itinerary with a Private Car
and Guide to explore the following destination highlights.
Explore the most fascinating and ancient towns buried under millennia of
ash and stone and then see the volcano that destroyed them. Visit Pompeii
and Herculaneum, Roman cities buried in 79 AC from the eruption of
Vesuvius, one of the most famous active volcanoes in Europe. What destroyed
the city is what preserved it through thousands of years.
You will see one of the most important archaeological and historical sites
in the world and thus, also one of Italy’s most visited attractions. Walk
ancient Roman streets trapped in time for centuries, see inside the homes
and lives of ordinary people from Ancient Rome. Visit the ‘house of the
lovers’ that takes the name from a painting inscription in Latin “Like
bees, lovers lead a life as sweet as honey”. Admire the imposing temples
and public buildings like the Roman Amphitheater and the frescoes of Villa
dei Misteri (Villa of Mysteries), an ancient building from 80-70 BC.
Discover Herculaneum, the Roman town close to Pompeii that shared the same
fate. Admire the unique atmosphere like stepping back in time: visit the
taverns, gym and Roman baths of a smaller elegant society trapped under 25
meters (52 feet) of rock! The seafront with a spectacular view over the
Gulf of Naples, most of the houses here have 2 floors richly decorated with
remains of wood furniture and utensils, precious jewels and coins.
Explore the depths of the volcano that destroyed the very cities it
preserved. A hike in nature accompanied by a local guide up to the crater
of the mountain trail. Close to Pompeii and Herculaneum reach the crater
of the Vesuvius, an active volcano just like the National Park around it
full of farms and wineries that produce excellent products from this unique
territory.
