Pompeii, an ancient Roman City, is nowadays one of the most beautiful and interesting ruins place in the world. It was completely destroyed during the terrible volcanic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and all covered with warm ashes which kept both people and things just as they appear now to us. Then the inside ruins are really attractive and admirable such as: the Forum, the thermal Baths, Vetti’s House and Lupanare Brothel. Obviously you are suggested to require an experienced guide of the place we are going to visit who is at your disposal for all the 2 hours long. P.A- the guide reward isn’t included into the basic budget.

Although the Mount Vesuvius can be also well seen from below, the Sorrento to Pompeii tour continues by a trip up to the Volcano that gives you a wider and deeper landscape of it till to its crater nowadays, of a circular shape just because of its eruption. Yet we can only arrive at about 1 kilometer from the crater, where we must stop to continue ours way only on foot as we are not allowed by car. Nevertheless you have the choice to going by a 4 x 4 Sport Utility Vehicle that gives you deeper look of the wonderful landscape around you.It’s also useful to remember the famous historical Pliny the senior died during that eruption in the burning magma for getting closer to study it better.From the top, the Naples gulf appears to you in a unique wonderful way. Further if you decide to hike up, wear walking comfortable shoes for not getting tired. On this volcano there is also an attractive National Natural park. On the mountain slopes you find one of most well-know processing winery industry with a wide wine production not only inside Naples but also outside.

After about an hour and 15 we coming back from the Vesuvius and we stop at the famous Mr. Rossi’s wineries to have dinner, to taste the various wines and appreciate the “Lacryma Christi” in a better way too. Mr. John Russo was the first promoters of their wineries, who, at first, founded only a family winery, then he enlarged it making use of various types of grapes such as: “Caprettone“, “Piedirosso“, “Aglianico“, and “Falanghina” with both traditional and organic agricultural methods. Yet eighteen years ago he thought to open his doors to tourists for visiting and tasting them.There is to say that these wines are very popular for their particular quality.

After, coming back to Sorrento, you stop to have a coffee break if you like.
