Le programme vous conduit aux contreforts du Vésuve jusqu'aux ruines de Pompéi, la cité antique préservée par une éruption volcanique dévastatrice. Vous marcherez dans les rues pavées jusqu'au Forum, jadis le centre de la vie romaine. Les chemins anciens vous mèneront vers des espaces grandioses, tels que la Maison du Faune, ornée de belles mosaïques. L'arène du théâtre invite à s'assoir et à scruter les colossales colonnes de la basilique. Vous verrez aussi des lieux de la vie quotidienne comme les thermes et les tavernes.
Votre dernière étape sur ce site sera la Casa della Regina Carolina, l'une des plus grandes maisons de la cité antique située dans un quartier d'élite près du Forum. Vous en apprendrez plus sur les recherches en cours lancées par l'exploratrice du National Geographic Caitlin Ellis Barret, en découvrant la maison et les activités domestiques quotidiennes de ses riches habitants.
Après un léger repas, l'excursion se poursuit au port de Torre Annunziata, où vous descendrez sous le niveau de la rue jusqu'à l'ancienne Oplontis. Classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, cette zone et ses deux vastes villas abritent des peintures murales parmi les mieux préservées de l'époque romaine.
Votre guide archéologique spécialisé vous présentera le contexte historique, culturel et architectural, pendant que vous admirez les merveilles d'Oplontis. Autrefois habitées par l'élite romaine, les couleurs azur profond, orange et doré de leurs fresques et mosaïques de style pompéien ne vous laisseront pas indifférent. L'utilisation complexe des couleurs et des ombres donne à ces peintures une impression de tridimensionnalité, donnant vie à ces scènes antiques.

These baths are particularly well-preserved and showcase the complex heating systems and detailed mosaics that adorned their walls and floors'.Lunch will be at a friendly, local restaurant, serving up Italian classics. You'll then head up the mighty Mount Vesuvius – the only active volcano in mainland Europe. With its eye-catching panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Naples, it's well worth the trip. The surrounding terrain, sculpted by past eruptions, only adds to the jaw-dropping scenery.
