POMPEII WEEKEND - See photos!
Pompeii, the ancient Roman town buried by a volcanic eruption, is our main destination. We will also climb atop the volcano from which there is a spectacular view over the coast. There will also be a visit to the much more ancient Greek city of Paestum with three of the most well-preserved ancient Doric temples anywhere! We will follow the development of ancient societies of the southern peninsula, poking our noses into their houses and ancient bathing complexes, their forums and temples, theaters and shops, even their brothels! It is a walk in the footsteps of ancient Greeks and Romans for the three-day weekend.

AUR is pleased to provide you will expert guidance provided by tour guides to Paestum and Pompeii. We have crafted tours to cover both general overviews and further studies of very special things. There is always a lot more to explore and there will be some free time for shopping, individual discovery and relaxation.
