    Itinerary

    Vesuvius

    Looming above the Bay of Naples, Mt. Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 and covered Pompeii in ash, preserving parts of the ancient city that can still be seen today.

    The volcano itself is still active—the only active one in continental Europe—and, though dormant, is considered to be one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes. Despite this, many visitors hike the mountain to see its infamous crater and are rewarded with stunning views of Pompeii, the Bay of Naples, and the surrounding Italian countryside.

    A trip to the volcano itself provides the best understanding of the area and its impact on the region’s history. A hike up the mountain begins in Mount Vesuvius National Park, which has nine nature trails and allows for summit access. The crater’s lunar landscape is otherworldly, and the views are tough to beat.

    stabiae

    Known today as Castellammare Di Stabia, the ancient Stabiae is another important archeological site that was buried from the eruption of 79 A.D of mount Vesuvius, although it was unearthed  way before the discovery of the other two main archeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

    Located essentially at the beginning of the Peninsula of Sorrento, Stabiae was partially protected by the “Monti Lattari” (Milk Mountains), and in fact it used to be a small fortified town, but after its conquest by Lucio Cornelio Silla it became a resort area for the wealthy Roman Patricians

    In Stabiae you can admire the two beautiful “villas”, Villa San Marco and Villa Arianna, where you can admire many colourful frescos representing various themes such as architectures, lanscapes, nature and animals, some of which have now been transported to the archeological museum of Naples.

     

    oplontis

    Oplontis is another archeological site resulted from the eruptions of 79 A.C. of mount Vesuvius, and infact its ubication its not far away from the excavations of the famous Pompeii and its considered more like an extension of it rather than a city by itself.

    The site contains a number of points of interest, the most important of them being the “Villa di Poppea” which as the name suggests belonged to Poppea Sabina, the second wife of Emperor Nero, where she spent most of her free time and where she also produced wine and oil.

    Other important elements of Oplontis are the Villa of Lucius Crassius Tertius and Villa of Caio Siculi, which excavations are still in progress but nonetheless interesting, offering to the public many beautiful frescos and mosaics .
