The main difference between the two places is that Pompeii was a bustling city, a gateway for merchants and travelers, while the latter was more of a residential village for aristocrats and intellectuals.

Stop along the way to a local factory to learn more about the process of Cameos (carved sea shells) and Corals craft. Lunch break to a local restaurant with a 3-course tourist menu drinks not included.
