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 7th 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.

My experience and my organization will allow you to visit two fantastic places allowing you to enjoy them without stress. A special and unique experience in the Gulf of Naples.

In summary, Sorrento captivates visitors with its natural beauty, historic charm, and vibrant culture, making it a must-visit destination on any itinerary to the Amalfi Coast. Whether admiring the panoramic views, savoring local delicacies, or exploring its cultural treasures, Sorrento offers an unforgettable experience that lingers in the hearts of travelers long after they depart.
