Quote: A must see for anyone visiting the area, this was the place frozen in time from when Vesuvius erupted many hundreds of years ago. Take the train from any of the surrounding towns, and get off at the Pompei Scavi stop. Walking through ruins, and... Read the full Ancient City of Pompeii (Pompeii Scavi) review

The Bakery of Modestus
Quote: On of the most touching points of interest in the ruins of Pompeii, for me, was The Bakery of Modestus. This was, in fact, a simple business with an entrance that led directly to a large tub like area used for washing the grain. After washing, the...

Quote: The small shops near Pompeii are simple, yet full of history and lore should one take the time to dig through stacks of guidebooks and visit with the shopkeepers.

As you walk down its stone streets, everything is preserved remarkably well due to being buried under volacnic ash. If it weren't for the lack of ancient...

Quote: Pompeii is amazing. Nothing can prepare you for the sheer scale of it, and it needs at least half a day to do a whistle stop tour of it.

It took about a half hour to get to Pompeii Scavi on the train, which stopped at every... Read the full Ancient City of Pompeii (Pompeii Scavi) review
