Highlights
Being an archaeologist, I excavated a house in Pompeii with my university professor. An incredible experience that I will always carry with me. Pompeii for me is simply a magical place that will leave you with an unforgettable memory of how a Roman city was made in all its public, private, civil, and religious aspects.
Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located near modern Naples in Italy. Its history dates back to around the 8th century BC when it was founded by the Oscans, an Italic tribe. Initially, it was a small agricultural community, but it grew over time into a prosperous and bustling city, largely due to its strategic location near the Bay of Naples and its fertile volcanic soil. The Amalfi Coast is a stunning stretch of coastline located in southern Italy, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, colorful villages, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Overall, the Amalfi Coast is a place of unparalleled natural beauty, where stunning scenery, rich history, and delicious cuisine come together to create a truly magical destination. Whether exploring its charming villages, admiring its majestic views, or simply relaxing on its beaches, the Amalfi Coast offers an unforgettable experience for travellers seeking beauty and tranquility.
