Sorrento - Pompeii

Destroyed in 79AD by the merciless eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii is the most famous ancient town ever to be preserved by a natural disaster and gives a fascinating insight into Roman urban life. To wander through the roads lined with houses, shops, bakeries, bars and even a brothel is awe-inspiring to say the least. Check out the forum, the bath houses, the temples and also Pompeii’s amphitheatre which still hosts events. Houses such as Casa dei Vettii are stunning examples of domestic life replete with interior décor and beautiful peristyle garden. The body casts of the ancient Pompeiians who died trying to flee the town add an emotional edge to the town and remind the visitor that they were just ordinary people like you and me. Pompeii is one of those wonderful places on earth that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.
