Tour No. 3
Herculaneum and Sant'Agnello departing from the Sorrento Peninsula-Half-day

Departure on early afternoon to head towards Herculaneum, a city situated on the slopes of Vesuvius that with Pompei was destroyed by the eruption of the volcano in 79 AD.Herculaneum was the influencial Romans residential area, where  you can admire, within the archaeological majestic villas not only rich in frescoes and objects in an excellent preservation state, but also an extensive collection of  marble sculptures . Arrived in Herculaneum (after 30 minutes), there will be free time for visiting the ruins, which usually requires at least a couple of hours. We recommend comfortable shoes (no sandals) and a hat to protect yourselves from the sun.
After the visit, we will cross the main street Corso Resina, lined with beautiful XVIII century villas. This stretch of road is better known as "Golden Mile" and still retains a secret charm, made even more vibrant by the colours of the sunset. Than we come back to Sorrento Peninsula for a relaxing stop in Piazza Marinella in Sant'Agnello where, in addition to a very good taste of handmade limoncello in the panoramic Cocktail Bar, you can take wonderful  photos to the Gulf of Naples.

Return provided at the hotel for about 20.00 hrs.
