Pompeii, Herculaneum & wine farm (Full Day)

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!

Herculaneum is an ancient residential town of Greek origins, destroyed and buried in ashes, together with Pompeii, by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D. that also offers a variety of beautiful scenery and invaluable arts. Excavations began by accident in 1709 when some workers were digging a well – they discovered a wall which was later found to be one of the stages of the ancient theatre. Later, there were many human skeletons uncovered at the ancient shoreline, suggesting that numerous inhabitants attempted to escape but perished when mountains collapsed and volcanic gases were released.

This vineyard is located near the based of Mt. Vesuvius and approximately a 10 minute drive from Pompeii. This farm is located in Boscotrecase – in the province of Naples on the slopes of Vesuvius in a famous archaeological area at the center of the polygon defined by the ancient city of Pompeii, Oplontis, Stabia, Herculaneum, five kilometers from the sea, facing the glorified beauty of the Sorrentine peninsula and the islands of Capri and Ischia. The initiative was now quite successful and this farm aims to provide a meeting place for all who wish to taste wines and visit the vineyard. Boscotrecase is a town of intense agricultural activity, especially directed to the cultivation of the vine and the production of fine wines.
