Pompeii transports you back in time to antiquity. The affluent Roman town buried during the devastating eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 gives a complete picture of what daily life must have been like 2000 years ago. Bath, theatres, taverns, shops and houses show striking sophistication of its inhabitants.

The undervisited Villa Poppei in Oplontis, a short drive from Pompeii, was once a beautiful sea from residence of a wealthy family. The area to visit is small but it worth stopping by to see significantly preserved frescoes, some of the best from Ancient times.
