 HERCULANEUM

Situated in the shadow of the menacing Mount Vesuvius, the ancient town of Herculaneum takes its unique name from the Greek mythological hero Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) as ancient settlers were thought to have been of Greek origins and believed that Heracles / Hercules was the founder of the town and Mount Vesuvius. 

Along with nearby Pompeii, Herculaneum was destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, and for centuries it was left buried and forgotten under 20 meters of ash.

Unlike Pompeii that was entombed by volcanic ash, the incredibly hot pyroclastic material that covered Herculaneum carbonized and preserved perishable objects such as food, and wooden structures. This instant solidification resulted in more complete ruins, impressive frescoes, and lavish mosaics that can be admired in preserved buildings like in the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, and the Villa of the Papyri.

As Herculaneum is much smaller than Pompeii and less crowded, visitors have the opportunity to explore most of the site on a single visit which is impossible to do in Pompeii on limited time.

Herculaneum is also an ideal choice on hot summer days, for individuals who are unable to walk long distances on uneven terrain, or for travelers interested in seeing well preserved ruins, frescoes and marble that transformed Herculaneum into an “open air museum”.

 

SORRENTO

Situated on the Gulf of Naples, Sorrento will greet you with sweeping sea views, plunging cliffs, charming neighborhoods and delicious food.

This delightful seaside town beckons visitors to stroll along its narrow streets and alleys flanked by cafes, restaurants, and local shops that entice with vibrant handcrafted crafted ceramics and delicate laceworks, and local treats.

Not to be missed is the traditional lemon liquor known as limoncello, which is one of Sorrento’s specialties made from local lemons.

Sorrento is an ideal place to enjoy a delicious local lunch - the fresh local seafood and Sorrento style pizza are legendary!

 


POSITANO


Born of ancient legends, Positano is said to have been named after the Greek mythological sea god Poseidon. Positano has always been a favorite seaside destination for Romans - both ancient and modern day.

Positano expanded from a small fishing village to one of Italy’s top destinations with inviting sunny beaches, towering cliffs, historic sites, small boutiques and restaurants that entice visitors with local unique styles and local flavors. Numerous steep flights of stairs lead to various charming neighborhoods of this vertical cliffside town and reward you with splendid views that surround this unique town.

This concludes your private day tour from Rome to Herculaneum, Sorrento and Amalfi Coast.  From here you will enjoy a relaxing journey through the Italian countryside back to your hotel in Rome.
