and 7th
century BC by Oscans that was completely destroyed and buried under a massive rubble of ash and
pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the 79 AD. Pompeii is one of the most visited
archeological sites in Italy and is part of the Vesuvius National Park and was awarded in 1997 as a
World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Everything that was buried
during the Vesuvius eruption has been well preserved by the lack of air for over two thousands of
years. Where else in the world you can walk along streets that are over 2000 years old? And admire the
houses, baths and temples that are still standing, like the Stone Amphitheater the oldest and the best
preserved in the world or the Forum, the house of Vetti, Villa dei Misteri where the majority of its
walls, ceilings and the amazing frescoes survived almost undamaged, just to name a few.
Here you have the option for us to arrange a 2-hour private guide or you can walk around by yourself
or with an audio-guide that you can rent at the entrance of the ruins in Porta Marina.
Herculaneum
A roman city that lies in the shadow of the Vesuvius and was covered by 20 meters of volcanic lava
during the eruption in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii the city can still be seen in almost is original splendour.
Walking through the ruins you can get a unique inside into the Roman life, with many building still
intact like the many mosaics and frescoes that are in an extraordinary state of preservation.
Herculaneum is not yet fully excavated, 75% of it still lies under the ash and pumice.
Like Pompeii where in the world you can walk on streets that are 2000 years old? And be taken by the
amazing surroundings like Casa D’Argo, Casa Dello Scheletro, Terme Maschili, the Documano
Massimo, Casa dei Cervi or the Terme Suburbane to name a few incredible sites.

Paestum
Was founded by the Greek and later on was conquered by the Lucanians and then by the Roman that
gave the city the current name. Today the ruins of Paestum are famous for three Greek temples in
Doric style that are from the 6th
century BC and are very well preserved. These were dedicated to Hera
and Poseidon. The first Temple of Hera dates back to the 550 BC and was built by the Greek and is the
oldest one in Paestum.
The second Temple of Hera
was built around the 460 BC and was dedicated to Poseidon. In the centre of the ruins we have the
Roman Forum and going to the northeast we’ll find the roman Amphitheatre. On the highest point of
the site lies the Temple of Athena that was build during the 550 BC. The architectures of the temple are
partly Ionic style and partly Doric style. Paestum unlikely Pompeii and Herculaneum is not a very busy
sites so you can enjoy and be taken in by the magnificent scenery that the ruins have to offer.

the incredible delight of the “Mozzarella di Buffala” and the other local produces. The Buffalo
Mozzarella was awarded in 1993 of the DOC (Controlled Designations of Origin by the Italian
