Enjoy, once on the summit of Vesuvius, an unparalleled view of the Gulf of Naples, a feeling of suspended between sky and sea.The first half of the route will be the at the Vesuvius: The most famous volcano in the world. One can not help but be fascinated by Vesuvius, for centuries protagonist, for better or for worse, in the history and in the human events of this land. Along the path that will lead to the crater, the guide will begin to illustrate the geological characteristics of the Somma-Vesuvius complex, crossing the rich Mediterranean vegetation represented by the Vesuvius National Park. Arriving at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, you will begin to walk, ascending to the crater. Once at the top, you can admire the great void of the crater and the magnificent views of the Gulf of Naples, enjoying a unique landscape. After the Vesuvius we will go to the ruins of Pompeii, which have brought to light remains of inestimable value. The city owes its exceptional state of preservation to the manner in which it was buried; tons of ash, pumice and lapilli have it covered under a layer of more than six meters protecting it from most of the ravages of time. The guided tour will start from the Porta Marina, which is accessed through the Forum, continuing through the remains of shops, craft shops, spas, patrician houses full of frescoes, mosaics and impressive plaster casts of the bodies of the victims of the tragic eruption of 79 dC, you will then see the hunting House, the House of the Faun, the noble private residences, and the Baths .
Note: For both routes are suggested comfortable clothes and walking shoes.
