Ercolano Exclusive Excursion
 
Departure from the hotel by private car. Escorted by a guide, you will visit Ercolano (Herculaneum). Ercolano was a residential town, and as such it makes a more manageable site, less architecturally impressive and less outside the modern mainstream, but better preserved and more easily taken in on a first visit. You will visit many luxury houses, full of beautiful and well-preserved decorations.

A lively town lying on the Western slopes of Vesuvius, Herculaneum enjoys a mild climate which is propitious to agriculture and especially to flower growing, whose production is one of the most important in Italy: local gilly flowers and roses are well-known. Flower growing has given rise to the flower-market in via Cozzolino. The town's origins are still uncertain. The name derives from the Latin word "Herculaneum" and from the Greek word "Herakleion". According to the ancients it was founded by Hercules. It undoubtedly dates back the Greek epoch, even though there are not many remains of the early period, except for a piece from the city walls; its "decumani" and "cardines" which remind us of the Hellenic town-planning of Neapolis.
