Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC by the Osci or Oscans. It came under the domination of Rome in the 4th century BC, and was conquered and became a Roman colony in 80 BC after it joined an unsuccessful rebellion against the Roman Republic. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was estimated at 11,000 people, and the city had a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium, and a port.
The eruption destroyed the city, killing its inhabitants and burying it under tons of ash. Evidence for the destruction originally came from a surviving letter by Pliny the Younger, who saw the eruption from a distance and described the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder, an admiral of the Roman fleet, who tried to rescue citizens. The site was lost for about 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599 and broader rediscovery almost 150 years later by Spanish engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre in 1748.[1] The objects that lay beneath the city have been preserved for centuries because of the lack of air and moisture. These artefacts provide an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city during the Pax Romana. During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed archaeologists to see the exact position the person was in when he or she died.
Pompeii has been a tourist destination for over 250 years. Today it has UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.

Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (Italian: Ercolano) was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Its ruins are located in the commune of Ercolano, Campania, Italy.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in much of its original splendour, as well as for having been lost, along with Pompeii, Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that buried it. Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, beds, doors, food and even some 300 skeletons which were surprisingly discovered in recent years along the seashore as it was thought until then that the town had been evacuated by the inhabitants.
Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding.

Paestum was a major ancient Greek city on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in Magna Graecia (southern Italy). The ruins of Paestum are famous for their three ancient Greek temples in the Doric order, dating from about 600 to 450 BC, which are in a very good state of preservation. The city walls and amphitheatre are largely intact, and the bottom of the walls of many other structures remain, as well as paved roads. The site is open to the public, and there is a modern national museum within it, which also contains the finds from the associated Greek site of Foce del Sele.
After its foundation by Greek colonists under the name of Poseidonia (Ancient Greek: Ποσειδωνία) it was eventually conquered by the local Lucanians and later the Romans. The Lucanians renamed it to Paistos and the Romans gave the city its current name.[1] As Pesto or Paestum, the town became a bishopric (now only titular) but it was abandoned in the Early Middle Ages, and left undisturbed and largely forgotten until the 18th century.
Today the remains of the city are found in the modern frazione of Paestum, which is part of the comune of Capaccio in the Province of Salerno, Campania, Italy. The modern settlement, directly to the south of the archaeological site, is a popular seaside resort, with long sandy beaches.

Worldwide Amalfi is known for its glorious past and its sea, but few know the nature reserve "Valle delle Ferriere”. Due to its special geographical position, among the mountains of Scala, the reserve is protected from cold north winds through the rocky ridges, but open to hot-humid southern winds and subject to high rainfall distributed over three months. It thus kept unchanged over time its microclimate keeping intact plants of past times. Botanists, in fact, know this natural reserve for the presence of a rare plant in Europe, the Woodwardia radicans , a so-called living fossil appeared on earth in the Tertiary. In addition to this important example of pre-glacial plant, this nature reserve is also the habitat of several species of orchids, and of the small carnivorous plant "Pinguicola hirtiflora (http://www.meditflora.com/flora/pinguicola.htm ) whose meal consists of small insects. The valley is also inhabited by small animals among which must be recorded the "spectacled salamander” (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamandrina_terdigitata).
The trekking route into the “Valle delle Ferriere” is of minor difficulty with a duration of about three hours and a drop of 500 meters down and 250 m up. The “Valle delle Ferriere” can be reached through a wonderful path along the river Rio Canneto. The departure is from San Lazzaro, in Agerola at 630 m height, and from there follow the direction to the castle ‘Castello Lauritano’ and the trail to Mount Murillo (849 m) and continue for the ancient Paper Mill Valley, crossed by the river Rio Canneto. The route is easy and not particularly tiring, winding through beautiful forests, springs, small waterfalls and the rapids of the Rio Canneto, once driving force for the old paper mills, where once the famous paper of Amalfi was produced, and still very much requested still today, and which can be viewed in the Museum of the Amalfi Paper. In the valley the ruins of the mills of the twelfth century can still be visited. The landscape is unspoilt and descends into the valley with breathtaking panoramic views, through the Mediterranean bush and terraces of lemon trees and vineyards. Halfway we meet the old ironworks, giving the name to the valley, which supplied iron to the ancient Maritime Republic of Amalfi.
An alternative route, starting from Atrani, a picturesque Saracen village on the outskirts of Amalfi: This path is for trekking lovers and leads across the ancient village, passing through the valley of the river Dragone, to the location of Pontone where you can admire the tower ‘Torre dello Ziro’ and the remains of the Cathedral of St. Eustace. From here we head towards the Nature Reserve of Valle delle Ferriere, and then the route to Amalfi is the same as above.
The ease of the trails does not require special equipment or facilities, but long trousers and a pair of comfortable shoes suitable for walking in the mountains are recommended. Be careful and do not forget the camera, water, sunscreen and a hat.

For lovers of hiking and walking outdoors, the Path of the Gods on thesentiero delgi dei - Costiera Amalfitana Amalfi Coast is a 'must' ... Your holiday on the Amalfi Coast cannot be considered complete without an excursion on the Path of the Gods, from Agerola to Positano. This most popular trekking route is pretty easy with a duration of approximately 5 hours and a drop of 600 meters downhill. Do not underestimate the fact that those who suffer from vertigo may have some difficulties, but with proper precautions, trekking and hiking here can be for everyone. The walking route involves a departure from Agerola, more precisely from sentiero delgi dei - Costiera Amalfitana the fraction of Bomerano or from Praiano to reach the hamlet of Nocelle in the town sentiero delgi dei - Costiera Amalfitanaof Positano (440 meters above sea level). Starting from the village of Bomeranoat 635 meters above sea level permits to trek easier along the path, but from the town of Praiano, on the sea forces the hiker to reach first the Colle Serra situated at 579 meters above sea level.
sentiero delgi dei - Costiera AmalfitanaImagine to start from Bomerano, Agerola: the route is surrounded by total silence and tranquility, with spectacular views on the coasts, and Capri, the island of lovers. sentiero delgi dei - Costiera AmalfitanaFrom above the traffic and noise of the SS163 are only a distant memory. The trail leads to the "Cave of the Biscuit" and continues over the pass Monte Serra. Once past the suggestive Vallone Grarelle you will reach the village of Nocelle, located at 440 meters above sea level, a little-known and characteristic hamlet of Positano. Here you can choose to go down the 1500 steps that separate Nocelle from the Amalfitana sentiero delgi dei - Costiera AmalfitanaDrive to enjoy a swim on the beaches of Positano, or, if still full of energy,sentiero delgi dei - Costiera Amalfitana to trek up to Monte Pertuso (at 352 meters above sea level), which owes its nameto a hole (= 'pertuso' in local dialect) in the cliff of the summit due to the naturalphenomenon of erosion, and from there to go down to Positano. Both walking tours are very attractive, along which you can meet shepherds and farmers who make you taste some of their products, such as cheese, meats, etc..
sentiero delgi dei - Costiera AmalfitanaAn alternative trekking route, which combines nature, culture and religious worship: an idea would be to start from Vettica Maggiore and through a convenient staircase, renovated recently, reach in about half an hour the religious complex of San Domenico at about 400 mt. over the sea level. sentiero delgi dei - Costiera AmalfitanaHere you can visit both the church of S. Maria Castro of the twelfth century, and the adjoining Dominican Convent of the XVI century. The famous "Path of the Gods" is about 30/45 minutes trekking time away from here, and you can go from east to west in the direction of Nocelle through the typical Mediterranean bush of the Amalfi Coast, forests of oaks, grottoes and sea caves .... After about 2 hours of walking, you will reach Nocelle, and from there you can choose one of two locations mentioned above.
The right clothing? Comfortable, of course! Possibly long pants and comfortable shoes, but above all do not forget your camera! A bottle of water, sunscreen and a hat.

From the main square of Pontone (Suburb of Scala, 258m) ancient staircases lead to the promontory that divides the two valleys of Amalfi and Atrani. After reaching the summit of Mount Aureo (400m) inside the pine forest you find the ruines of the Castle of Scalelle (1480 a.c.). Follow the ceramic signs walking along the cliff until you reach the path that leads to the wall equipped for climbing and finally to the famous Ziro tower built in 1151 a.c. The legend says that Joanna D’Aragona was imprisoned and murdered inside the tower, Duchess and wife of a Doge of Amalfi accused of betrayal of love. The trail is easy to follow and suitable for everyone, with a very peculiar view overlooking the sea and you can admire both the towns of Atrani and Amalfi.

Trekking is an English word that for the Italians is synonymous with hiking, but it really is much more ... it is an outdoor activity consisting in walking slowly in natural environments, often in the mountains, and on hiking trails to better know the landscape from different perspectives and at the same time to find yourself. Trekking is not mountaineering... it is days of walking, along with adventure. It is not climbing, it is not an extreme sport, it is not defying nature .... but entering in tune with it.
Trekking derives from the verb 'to trek', a term coming from the language of the Dutch settlers of South Africa, from the Boer words trek (noun) and trekken (verb) with various meanings, such as 'pull', 'walk slowly or even undertake a long journey with wagons pulled by oxen', 'migration' referring to the Great Migration the Dutch settlers were forced to from 1835 and 1843 to escape the advance of the English, and this historical origin of the term amplifies the concept of finding oneself while walking towards new goals. Trekking became a word in English language in mid 19th century and also means 'a long journey undertaken on foot in areas where common means of transport are note available' and this well describes what once was the main way of travelling: walking along trails and mule tracks in the company of donkeys, mules, oxen or horses. Hence, today, the various side activities in the modern and popular touristic trekking activities and walking tours.
Nowadays, trekking is a way to get away, even if only for a few days, from the hustle of everyday life and from the haste characterizing it, to explore new places without stress and enjoy outdoor activities. A way to restore, to pause for breath and to live nature in its various manifestations: stunning views, canyons, caves, seaside coast, fjords, hills, valleys, trees, flowers and plants .... along fixed and unfixed paths and trails. In this spirit our website dedicated to Walking & Trekking comes to life.

Mount Vesuvius Italian: Monte Vesuvio, is a stratovolcano in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.
Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and several other settlements. That eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash, and fumes to a height of 33 km (20.5 mi), spewing molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima bombing.[2] At least 1,000 people died in the eruption. The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus.[3]
Vesuvius has erupted many times since and is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years. Today, it is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of 3,000,000 people living nearby and its tendency towards explosive (Plinian) eruptions. It is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world
