This day excursion is designed for those wish to enjoy the highlights of the two most important archaeological sites of Italy, POMPEII and HERCULANUM while enjoying some of the delicacies of this region.
You will be greeted at the Port of Naples before making your way to the archaeological site of Pompeii, the ancient city whose ruins were preserved by the volcanic eruption that devastated it in 79AD. For couple of hours time you have to explore Pompeii before heading to Herculaneum, a renowned seaside resort visited only by the Roman aristocrats to spend their summers, which was completely buried by the lava and mudflow from eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the 79 AD. Your morning will be full with history while afternoon you have time to relax and visit a private wine estate located at the feet of M. Vesuvius
You will be given a guided tour in their vineyards and enjoy lunch in a beautiful terraced garden to taste the specialties of the Campania region (Bruschetta, salami, provolone cheese, spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and the Pastiera Napoletana a ricotta and corn pie).
