The mansions with their murals, the market and the houses are impressive. But the most surprising and unbelievable sight is the human bodies discovered in the excavations... It is not easy to describe unless you see it from up close, the preservation of the body postures while even the facial expressions could be seen, thousands of years after the destruction of the city...

Check this place out if you enjoy history! Before you go, read Pliny the Younger before you go

I visited Pompeii during the middle of the week in the off season. There was hardly anyone there during my visit. At times I had an entire street within the site to myself. The site is massive and can easily take a full day to explore. If you go when it's not as crowded, you will be able to cover more ground by not having to make your way through the people. Be sure to pick up a site map and the guide book at the entrance, both are free with entry.

Hike the trail to Santa Maria del Castello in Positano

This trail starts right off the street Via Corvo. Look for the signs Via Chiesa Nuova, 82, 84017 Positano SA, Italy. You will begin your ascent on stone staircases, however this will slowly turn into an advanced to difficult trail in parts as it is not upkept well throughout the year. This is a very strenuous hike in the summer as the temperatures climb, so bring lots of water along for safety!...

Explore the Ruins of Herculaneum

Much like the city of Pompeii, Herculaneum was devastated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The site is located to the West of the Volcano in the modern town of Ercolano. Easily reachable by car or a short walk from the train station. Prior to the eruption of Mt Vesuvius, Herculaneum was a thriving metropolis founded in the 6th-7th century BC. After being inhabited for centuries, the c...

Hike from Amalfi to Ravello and Atrani

Beginning in the town center of Amalfi, at the square facing the church, take the road leading directly away from the ocean. Prior to passing the large building over the road, take the staircase on the right onto a small "street." Continue up the mountain, taking the roads on the right that lead up, and prepare for a leg workout. Much of the trail is directly up the hill, but there is one secti...

Explore Bagni Della Regina Giovanna

Take a short bus ride from the Sorrento city center to Marina di Puolo and experience a favorite local swimming spot.After taking the local bus to Marina di Puolo (if you're not sure, ask the bus driver to let you know when you reach the stop), cross the road from the café on the corner and follow the painted dots past a local church. Turn down a narrow road, slightly overgrown with plants on t...

Take a Boat Ride around the island of Capri

This is a wonderful experience that you can have on the island of Capri to see everything around the island in a 5-15 person boat ride. There are many vendors/companies right in the main harbor that will be able to take you around the island. Most people speak English on the island as it is very touristy, this is a great way to get away from everyone! You will go around many of the grottos th...
