In-depth tour info

Naples driver guide recommends visiting the coast first, also because Pompeii is more pleasant during the afternoon due to the less visitors.

When you leave the traffic in the center of Naples and get the highway, skirting near Mount Vesuvius, that you will see on your left, and going on, among the various highway exits, you can find the Ercolano’ s one.

You are going to visit one of the most sensational discoveries of the archeology, brought to light with great effort, engaging archaeologists from all over the world, directed by the careful institutional team of the Campania archaeological Superintendence. Excavations give to modern civilization an entire Greek-Roman city, with finely frescoed buildings, statues and daily use furnishings, that testify the uses, customs, and eating habits of life over 2000 years ago. The archeological area of Pompeii ruins is declared UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE. Certainly, many other things lie still buried under the new city that was built on the ashes of the volcano, many years after the 24 August eruption of 79 b. C.
