If you are looking to give your students a close-up look at ancient Roman life, a school trip to Italy could give them an authentic glimpse of one of the world's most advanced ancient civilisations. The Bay of Naples and its beautiful coastline are home to some of the finest archaeological treasures found anywhere in the world - and a firsthand look at some of these centuries-old artefacts could help your pupils gain a greater understanding of life in the region thousands of years ago. It is thought that the area was first settled by the Greeks, who were eventually followed by the Romans. As a result, the entire bay is packed with classical ruins that your group will love to explore. The twin peaks of Mount Vesuvius stand tall behind the sea - giving your pupils a rare chance to see one of Europe's few active volcanoes. In fact, Mount Vesuvius is the reason why the remains of ancient life are so well-preserved in the Bay of Naples. Nearly 2,000 years ago, an eruption from the volcano smothered the advanced Roman city of Pompeii, perfectly preserving the moment when the entire settlement was destroyed. Pompeii's ruins offer fascinating insight into day-to-day life in Roman times and your pupils will be able to take home many valuable lessons about this intriguing ancient culture. But of course, there is much more to Italy than the Bay of Naples alone - and you may find that a multi-centre break allows you to get the most out of your stay in one of Europe's most educational destinations. Italy is rich in colourful history, stunning works of art, breathtaking architecture and beautiful scenery and you'll be able to continue exploring the country with stops in Rome, Venice, Florence or even Sicily. Lake Garda in the scenic Italian Lakes is another educational destination well worth considering.
