The Happy Archaeologist has completed his latest tour, guide lecturing for The Cultural Experience in Classical Campania! Or as we call it in the industry, the POM!
Visiting Pompeii is often a number one bucket list destination for many people, and it is always such an honour to help people achieve such a dream. But Roman Campania isn’t just about Pompeii! You also have splendid Herculaneum, the finery of the elite villas at Oplontis and Stabiae, museums galore including the world leading MANN archaeological museum in Naples, the astonishing amphitheatre at Pozzuoli, Pliny the Elder’s naval base at Misenis, mighty Vesuvius itself, and in the Bay of Salerno Paestum, originally the Greek colony of Poseidonia, with its three astonishing temples. All the time, in each location, working through a chronological layer cake which includes the Greeks, Etruscans, Oscans and Romans.
Dr Simon Elliott FSA said:
For the guest, and the guide lecturer, the POM is the gift that keeps on giving. Every day is breathtaking, every site amazing. This is a holiday that truly, truly transports you back in time to the classical world.
