Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast(Sorrento-Positano)
Overview
Herculaneum – named after one of the Roman mythological heroes, Hercules – was destroyed by the 79AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. The slow walk across all of Ercolano will allow you to observe the moulding of civilization into this remote town. Buried by the same eruption as Pompeii, it’s now a marvellous historic site filled with an abundance of history and breathtaking views. This city offers spectacular ruins, relics and interesting markings left behind by the people who did not survive the eruptio.
On this tour you will also be able to visit part of the Amalfi coast including Positano and Sorrento. Time to visit and explore each town .
