10. What is There to See and Do? Pompeii This is one of the most famous ancient sites in the world. Almost 2000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius errupted, covering Pompeii in ash. The nature of the explosion – a build up of gases due to the outlet being blocked – meant that the residents of the town had no warning of the coming disaster. Life has been preserved as it was 2000 years ago, and excavations are ongoing. Plaster cast was poured in the holes in the ash created by bodies, and the result is realistic models of the people buried by the ash.

11. What is There to See and Do? Mount Vesuvius Take a trip to the top of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that dominates the skyline of the Amalfi Coast. You can walk to the top of the mountain, and see close up the volcano that erupted and buried Pompeii almost 2000 years ago.

12. What is There to See and Do? Herculaneum The eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD buried this town in an airtight layer of solidified volcanic mud, unlike the volcanic ash of Pompeii which took a while to settle and become compressed. Excavations have revealed the ancient town, and have revealed facts such as diet, clothing and furniture

13. What is There to See and Do? Pozzuoli A spa town in the centre of the Phlegraean Fields west of Naples. An area of bubbling volcanic activity, the town of Pozzuoli has the remains of Roman market places and an amphitheatre which was the third largest in the ancient world. Here exotic animals were shipped in to the towns port and used in contests.

14. What is There to See and Do? Solfatara The Solfatara of Pozzuoli is without a doubt the most interesting volcano of the Phlegreaen Fields, an area north of Naples made up by approximately 40 ancient volcanoes. The bubbling mud pit is made up by rainwater and vapour condensation, which mix with the clay type material present on the surface of the Volcano crater

15. What is There to See and Do? Paestum A town near Salerno, this was founded by the Greeks in the early sixth century BC, and originally called Poseidonia. The ruins of the town, and the Roman amphitheatre can be visited.

16. What is There to See and Do? Roman Villa of Oplontis This is an ancient Roman Villa that is famous for it’s paintings in the Pompeii style. The villa is located at Torre Annunziata, about 10 minutes from Pompeii.
