I'm going to be on a cruise that docks in Naples - if I had to choose one site to visit, which would you recommend - Pompeii or Herculaneum?

If you've got time, try to squeeze in both (they are both on the same rail line). Herculaneum is much more compact, but for a true idea of scale you should also see Pompeii for an idea of the public areas (forum, temples, etc).

I am going on holiday to Sorrento in the near future. Is it possible to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum on my own or do I need to go on an organised tour?

I think the 2 Italian clips are great - they give you a good idea of the excavations and what the place looked like - pity I don't understand a word of it though!

Are there any other features you would like to see - other towns, more detail?

"The coverage of Herculaneum is pretty good - some more photos of the Theatre, Basilica and the Villa of the Papyri would be nice." I agree - but they're hard to come by - meantime, the Herculaneum Conservation Project website covers the Theatre (see links). We'll keep looking though.

The details of about twenty houses are covered - are there plans to describe more houses in future?

Hopefully in time the site will cover more properties - its quite hard getting sufficient information about the private houses to make an interesting entry (especially with relevant photographs). All contributions welcome though.

Hi, great site by the way. What happened to the introductory videos you had earlier. They gave a fuller story of what happened - can I view them somewhere else?

Sorry, but the video, like all the rest come from 'youtube'. These clips have since been deleted, so we can't show them here anymore. We'll try to vary the intros from time to time with more interesting stuff.

This page is more or less about Vesuvius - should it not be called Vesuvius and should there not be a more general History page leading this branch - history of the region, etc?

I think this page would be better under the History branch rather than under Pompeii - if you agree I'll move it.
