Excursion d'une journée à Pompéi, Herculanum et au Vésuve au départ de Naples, avec prise en charge à ton hôtel ou au port de croisière

Archeological Park of Herculaneum

Herculaneum was buried by mud rather than ash, and that difference is why it looks the way it does. Digging began in 1709 and turned up marble statues and decorative work almost at once, then mosaics, frescoes and buildings that had never come down. The town was small and expensive. The Villa of the Papyri, with the ancient scrolls found inside it, and the House of the Deer with its sculptures both belong to that world. A pyroclastic surge sealed the place in one go, which is why the detail here is finer than at Pompeii. What you walk through are Roman streets, bath complexes and market spaces at the level they were used. Di Sarno Car Service arranges the visit.

Vesuvius National Park

The only active volcano on mainland Europe sits over the Bay of Naples, and the city has lived with it long enough to give it a name: the Good Giant. Its eruption in 79 AD is the one that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. The trail to the top passes volcanic artworks made out of what the mountain produced. The crater at the summit is enormous, and past it the Gulf of Naples opens out, with the city on one side and the islands in the distance. On the rim, the eruption stops being a date and turns into a scale you can see. Di Sarno Car Service drives you to the start of the trail.
