Nat Geo Day Tour: Syväsukellus Roomaan – Oplontiksen ja Pompejin huvilat

Retki alkaa lyhyellä ajelulla Vesuviuksen juurelle ja Pompeijin raunioille, joka on tulivuoren purkauksen hautaama muinainen kaupunki. Kuljeskele mukulakivikatuja pitkin Forumille, joka oli aikoinaan kaupungin elämän keskus. Vuosisatoja vanhat polut vievät sinut paikkoihin, kuten Faunin taloon, jossa on upeita mosaiikkeja. Istu teatterin areenalla ja ihmettele basilikan valtavia pylväitä. Vierailet myös arkielämän alueilla, kuten kylpylöissä ja tavernoissa. Näet ulkoa ylellisen Casa della Regina Carolinan, yhden Pompeijin suurimmista taloista eliittikorttelissa lähellä Forumia. Saat kuulla National Geographicin tutkimusmatkailija Caitlin Ellis Barretin aloittamasta tutkimuksesta sekä varakkaiden asukkaiden päivittäisistä askareista. Kevyen lounaan jälkeen suuntaat Torre Annunziatan satamaan, josta laskeudut katutason alapuolelle muinaiseen Oplontikseen. Unescon maailmanperintökohteeksi listattu alue ja sen kaksi hulppeaa huvilaa ylpeilevät joillakin roomalaiskauden parhaiten säilyneistä seinämaalauksista. Samalla kun tutustut Oplontiksen ihmeisiin, arkeologiaan erikoistunut oppaasi kertoo sinulle lisää sen historiallisesta, kulttuurisesta ja arkkitehtonisesta taustasta. Tämä paikka oli ennen Rooman eliitin koti. Sen voi huomata freskoista ja mosaiikeista, jotka on koristeltu sinisen, oranssin ja kullan sävyillä. Nerokas värien ja varjojen käyttö antaa maalauksille kolmiulotteisen vaikutelman. Tämä saa nämä antiikin tapahtumat näyttämään aivan yhtä eläviltä.
