Battlefields Information
The Italy Battlefields of WW2 cover a vast area; it would be impossible to visit them all in one trip.
Sicily once formed a significant part of the Greek empire, was later strategically vital to Rome, and has been invaded by Byzantines, the Arabs, Normans, French, Spanish and Bourbons; each of which have left their mark. It has a rich archaeological heritage as well as breathtaking scenery and wonderful sandy beaches.
The spectacular rocky coastline of the Bay of Naples has some of the best scenery in Italy and is home to several world-renowned archaeological wonders. This area was settled first by the Greeks and then by the Romans.
Mount Vesuvius dominates the Bay and is one of the few active volcanoes in Europe. Its eruption covered the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash, preserving life as it was almost 2000 years ago. This is an exceptional destination for school groups wanting a variety of excursions that educate and entertain.
