- Introduction:
- Leaving Naples we
will reach Pompeii.
- With its excavated
area, extending for approximately 44 ha, and the
preservation state of its buildings, due to the
particular burial (under a blanket of 6 meter of
ash and rock) caused by the eruption of the
Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii can be considered the
only archaelogical site which gives the real
image of roman city. And the image is similar to
cities, not preserved, of the same period.
Despite wars waged on its soils, despite assaults
by earthquakes and a volcano nineteen centuries
ago, Pompeii is still vibrant and accessible.
Wander from mosaic to monument, temple to
theatre, envision life in this legendary city.
- Leaving Pompeii in a
southerly direction we will reach Sorrento.
- Sorrento is one of
the best known resorts in Italy. It is perched on
a dramatic line of steeply rising cliffs,
overlooking the Bay of Naples, on a stretch of
coastline of great beauty, on the northern slope
of the Sorrentine Peninsula.
- The town is
surrounded by orange and lemon groves and lush
thickly wooded hills where vines and olives are
grown. A deep gorge runs down to the port on the
sea. The town has pretty pastel-coloured houses
and several quaint small squares.
