Visit the ruins of the flourishing Roman city that was destroyed in a matter of hours. Come see the plastered bodies of the villagers that are encased in the position that they were in before they died. Columns of flame and ash rocketed into the sky as the sleeping mountain awoke. The volcanic ash blanketed the city and suffocated its inhabitants. The mountain has not erupted since 1944, so there is no need for worrying. The beautiful Italian country-side surrounds the mountain and the shimmering, inviting waters of the Mediterranean sit just a few miles away. Hike through the hills, visit the mountain, and finish off your day with a refreshing swim in the sea. The rest of Italy is only a short boat ride away if you somehow get bored. There are plenty of attractions around the mountain though, so there should be no reason to leave. Honeymooners should rejoice that a location like this is not crowded or hugely commercialized. This area remains fairly natural and amazingly beautiful. The area surrounding Mount Vesuvius is seemingly untouchable by bad weather as blue skies and few clouds fill the days. So come, visit this untapped beauty that is Mount Vesuvius.
