Mt- Vesuvius - Private Tour

Mt- Vesuvius - Private Tour

Mount Vesuvius located on Italy's west coast, it rises above the Bay of Naples and sits in the crater of an earlier and originally much higher structure called Mount Somma. Vesuvius is internationally renowned for the 79 AD eruption, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Stabiae. Although the volcano's last eruption occurred in 1944, it still represents a serious danger to the cities located on its slopes, especially the busy metropolis of Naples. From a distance, the Vesuvius seems to be harmless but when the brave tourist approaches near its crater, he feels the power of the “big Giant”. The driver will drive up to 1000 meters altitude, and from the parking area you will reach the crater following a trekking path that usually takes 30 minutes. Once there, enjoy the breathtaking view of the Bay of Naples and ask to the guides of the National Park to be introduced to the history and the myth of this dormant volcano.
