Fall 2015 EXCURSIONS - STUDENT LIFE DEPARTMENT Capri, Mount Vesuvius, Sorrento and Pompeii field trip 2-4 OCT - 250 euros Join the Student Life crew for a new twist on our old classic and very popular trips to Capri and Pompeii! For the first time, we’ll be combining our trip to the beautiful Isle of Capri with our tour of the excavations at Pompeii, as well as adding overnight stays in the town of Sorrento. And if that weren’t enough, we will climb to the summit of a volcano, the famous Mount Vesuvius. Capri: magnificent coastal walks, flower-strewn mountain slopes and, of course, the shimmering blue Mediterranean sea with its natural wonders which include the magical Blue Grotto and Faraglione. Pompeii: buried under ash and pumice and lost for over 1500 years, this Roman city frozen in time was rediscovered 4 centuries ago. Today this UNESCO World Heritage site offers extraordinary insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Sorrento: on the Amalfi coast overlooking the Bay of Naples, this cliffside town offers spectacular views across the bay. It is also the home of limoncello. Mount Vesuvius: Famous for having buried Pompeii and Herculaneum under up to 6 meters of ash , and while currently inactive, this volcano is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted in the last century.
