As soon as you arrive in the archeological area of Herculaneum, you will meet your expert local guide, ready to lead you in ths amazing two hours guided tour in the ancient roman ruins of Herculaneum, well known for its fascinating history, linked to the one of Pompeii, too.
It was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 79 AD and currently is one of the most preserved sites in the world. Here you would see the waterfront where the bones of the 300 people lie who tried to escape the town by sea during the eruption.
A site that has long attracted tourists is the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, named after the goddess of the sea, consists of walls covered in glass mosaic. Moreover, the Samnite House is one of the oldest patrician mansions discovered thus far within this city.
There are many more sites in this town that are worth looking at. The remains of the paintings, geometric patterns, the marbles and glass-covered mosaic walls found in the various sites of Herculaneum are even more exquisite than those in Pompeii. After the tour, return to Amalfi.
