Location Description

Pompeii is among the most famous archaeological sites in the world. It is also a convenient base for group excursions to Naples, Mt. Vesuvius, and other archaeological sites (towns that suffered the same fate as Pompeii). Likewise, in their free time students can explore Sorrento, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast.

The last four days or so will be in Rome, a city whose captivating charm goes hand in hand with its centrality for Western art, history, philosophy, religion--the list goes on and on.
