Pompei and Vesuvius Full-day Tour from Naples, Italy

On a full-day tour of Pompeii, one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, you can stop for an authentic Neapolitan lunch with the Margherita pizza and finish your beautiful day hiking up the slopes of Vesuvius, one of the world's most famous volcanoes! Many articles and books have been written about the tragedy of the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius in the 1st century AD. Still, none of that will replace your immersion in the history of Pompeii. You'll see the homes of rich and poor residents, where wall frescoes, household utensils, and personal belongings of ancient Pompeiians are beautifully preserved. There are also private homes in some, you can see plaster casts of the bodies of the dead. They are made from molds left in the ash when people tried to shut themselves off from volcanic flows or fell to the ground.

Casa dei Vettii got its name after the name inscribed on bronze seals found here during archaeological excavations from 189495. The House of Vettii was built from several private houses that were joined together to form a single unit. Thus, the house has a second atrium in its northern part, and also the home sanctuary. The appearance of the garden corresponds to historical realities. Archaeologists have found the remains of the roots of trees and shrubs and have reconstructed the garden's overall appearance as it looked once. After visiting Pompeii and stopping for lunch, you will go on a visit to Vesuvius. Vesuvius is the calling card of Italy, one of the most dangerous volcanoes that brought sad fame to the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Oplontis. You can enjoy Naples's picturesque panoramas and look into an active volcano's crater.
