  • The amphitheatre of Pompei⁣⠀ -⁣⠀ I didn't know there was an amphitheatre at Pompei, so this was a fantastic surprise. While it's not the Colosseum of Rome, it's really impressive and it's also super cool that you can stand in the arena, because it's something you can't do in the Colosseum. I read afterwards that it's not always open. I'm not sure about it but I can tell you that the entrance is a bit uninviting and it certainly looks as if it was closed. ⁣⠀ A word of advice on the visit: try to avoid midday and you'll avoid the crowds. Either go super early or very late. I arrived at around 3:00 pm and there was a lot of people but with the rain and time it started getting empty. During Spring-Fall, the excavation is open from 9:00 am to 7:30 pm from Monday to Friday. The previous photo I posted was taken at 7:18 pm and you can see there's still a lot of light.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #fujifilmxt2 #earthpix #ilovetraveling #hikingtheglobe #travelingrams #travelfever #travelbook #wondermore #globeshotz #wowplanet #nakedplanet #world_beautifulshots #ethereal_moods #neverstopcreating #opt_outside #trapping_tones #earthfever #ifyouleave #pompeii #pompeiiruins #visititaly #ruins #frozenintime #ancientworld #beautifuldestinations #livingeurope #besteuropephotos⁣ #europetravel #ancienthistory #pompeiscavi
  • The timeless ruins of Pompeii⁣⠀ -⁣⠀ This is actually the first scene you see when you enter the excavation, although it's the last photo I made. I stayed until the closing time to avoid the crowds everywhere. My camera battery died as I was walking out and just as saying goodbye, I looked back and snapped this last one with the phone. I think I like this one more than many others taken with the camera and it's all because of the golden light. As usual, the best camera is the one you have with you 😀⁣⠀ The second photo is looking Northwest and you can see the there the huge Vesuvius volcano. It rises up to 1,281 m. Unfortunately as you can see the clouds were covering the top so can't see it. I did got a good view of it when I went to Capri from Sorrento and I'll post them later.⁣⠀ So how do you get to the Pompeii ruins? Depending on where you are, there are different trains to get there. If you're at Amalfi, what I suggest you NOT to do is to take the SITA bus as everyone recommends because it's cute and the views and blabla. It's a long and curvy road that will take you 2 hours to get to Sorrento, where you still have to catch a train that will take 1 to 1.5 more to get to the ruins, for a total of 4 hours of travel, considering any waiting time. I made that mistake and it's painful. Instead, grab a bus to Vietri sul Mare and then the Frecciarossa train to Pompeii. It will get you there in less than 2 hrs. . . . . . #shotoniphone #earthpix #ilovetraveling #hikingtheglobe #travelingrams #travelfever #travelbook #wondermore #globeshotz #wowplanet #nakedplanet #world_beautifulshots #ethereal_moods #neverstopcreating #opt_outside #trapping_tones #earthfever #ifyouleave #pompeii #pompeiiruins #visititaly #ruins #frozenintime #ancientworld #beautifuldestinations #livingeurope #besteuropephotos⁣ #europetravel #ancienthistory #pompeiscavi
  • The Pompeii ruins, still standing after 1940 years.⁣⠀ -⁣⠀ When I was a kid and read the Pompei story, I was fascinated by it. It seemed something out of this world. Deeply tragic, yet, something extraordinary, so I always wanted to visit the Pompei ruins. I found it hard to understand why they couldn't escape in time. Until you visit the ruins. Until you're there and see the massive size of the Vesuvio. Until you see it's right next to Pompei. That's when you understand.⁣ I spent more than four hours here walking and seeing everything. The place is huge, and actually, it's one of the largest archeological excavations in the world. .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #fujifilmxt2 #earthpix #ilovetraveling #hikingtheglobe #travelingrams #travelfever #travelbook #wondermore #globeshotz #wowplanet #nakedplanet #world_beautifulshots #ethereal_moods #neverstopcreating #opt_outside #trapping_tones #earthfever #ifyouleave #pompeii #pompeiiruins #visititaly #ruins #frozenintime #ancientworld #beautifuldestinations #livingeurope #besteuropephotos⁣ #europetravel #ancienthistory #pompeiscavi
