Cosa farai

In 62 A.D. a violent earthquake struck the Vesuvius area. Seventeen years later, on August 24, 79 A.D., the sudden eruption of Vesuvius buried Pompeii and Herculaneum with ashes and lapillus. The buried cities were rediscovered in the 16th Century, but it was only in 1748 that the exploration phase began, under the King of Naples Charles III of Bourbon. Our guide will bring this ancient resort towns to life. After a lovely travel along theTirrenian Coast we will reach Paestum. Here myth and legend coexist. The tour includes the visit to the Archeological site where the Basilica (dates back to 550 b.c), the Temple of Ceres, the Temple of Neptune, the Amphitheatre ( a Typical Roman Building), and also the National Archeological Museum, which allows the visitors to retrace the Greek, Lucan and Roman History of the city. Here a unique example of Greek painting is kept: The Diver's Tomb.
