Thank you, I will check out as Askos Tours, had planned on using Mondo, but will look at both.
25 years ago, I loved the Archaeological Museum of Naples. Will visit again this time just because of the magnificent variety of statues, mosaics and pottery. I still remember the statues all these years later. Yep, Naples is a gritty city, but with attention to well zipped belongings and nothing of value, it was fine for a few days.
Based upon Estimated Prophet.s recommendation, we’re staying in the modern town of Pompeii at Hotel Forum Pompeii for a week. Decided to just split the difference of travel times, this allows us a few days to explore ruins and easy access to Salerno and the Paestum ruins, as well as Naples by train. We want to avoid the worst of the crush in cities over Christmas and New Year’s. The cost was surprisingly reasonable for the hotel versus staying in Naples or Sorrento. Will let everybody know after our trip!
