Overview

Pompeii is undeniably the most important archeological site in the world.

An entire city perfectly preserved just like it was back in 79 A.D., when a tremendous eruption of the nearby volcano Mt. Vesuvius buried it under a deep layer of ashes and lapilli.

Pompeii is very different from any other archaeological site in the world. There are ancient ruins in Rome, Greece, Egypt, Central America and other wonderful places on the planet, but in none of those except for Pompeii you can still walk down the original ancient streets and find them as lively as they were back then. You can walk in the same houses people lived in, in the same temples they prayed in and be in the same places they worked in and they had fun in. You can even still see the tracks of their carriages left on the road surface; the pipes the drinking water ran into; and last but not least, the “petrified” bodies of the victims of the eruption.

    Pompeii Archaeological Park

    We will visit the most important public buildings (theatres, temples, thermal baths and more) and bring your attention on some of the most traditional Roman shops like the thermopolia - ancestor of the modern fast food restaurants - and the pistrinum - the Roman equivalent of a bakery. The city of Pompeii is also quite known for the magnificence of its residences, the names of which are renowned in the entire world: the House of Menander, the House of the Faun, the House of the Vettii, the House of Caecilius Iucundus and many more. We will be in some of those fantastic dwellings and also walk down “Via dell'Abbondanza” (the main street), the Forum (the main town square) and the famous “red-light district” and its suggestive wall paintings. Lastly, a special focus will be put onto the poor victims of the eruption, appearing as petrified bodies.
