The ruins of Pompeii, part of an ancient Roman city destroyed and buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. can be visited during this tour. The remainder of the uncovered city is today buried under the new Pompeii rebuilt many years subsequent to the eruption. Archeological excavations are open to the public between the hours of 09:00 and 18:00 every day of the week, guides can be hired at the entrance or headphones can be rented, voicing explanations of the sites. Please note that since Pompeii is a popular area for tourists, we strongly recommend being cautious of your belongings!
Avellino is the land of great noble wines. Our tour allows access into the main wine cellars in the entire area, where the following three wines are produced:
The Greco di Tufo, an aristocratic wine that was first introduced by the Greeks from Thessaly. It’s straw-colored, golden yellow, pleasing and characteristic aroma, dry harmonic taste goes well with all dishes.
The Fiano, an antique wine from the Latin vitis apiana (as it attracts bees), very aromatic and can also be served as an aperitif. Yellow-straw colored, intense pleasant aroma and dry taste (similar to toasted hazelnuts) goes well with all fish based dishes.
