Located in a delightful and quiet inlet between Capo d'Orso and Conca dei Marini, Minori is the town of the Amalfi Coast nicknamed the narcissus of the coast for the particularity of its territory and the fertility of its land. City of Taste, but above all a seaside city, according to tradition, pasta was born here. The ingredients are all there: the sun, the right level of humidity for drying the dough and a wise and skilful use of manual skills, handed down from generation to generation. Traditional are also the cultivation of terraced lemons, which provide the raw material for the delicious Limoncello of the Amalfi Coast, and the processing of paper (the ancient paper mills are still preserved today).

TOUR DESCRIPTION:
Meet your local guide for the day and board the coach to depart for Pompeii, passing the beautiful towns along the Amalfi Road. When you arrive in Pompeii, you will have approximately 2 hours of guided tour of the archaeological excavations of this commercial center which was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius. Discover the conditions and contexts of ancient life which ended abruptly in the night between 24 and 25 August 79 AD when 5 meters of lapilli and ash buried this city on the Campania coast. You will have free time for lunch before continuing to Herculaneum. When you reach Herculaneum, the other city buried by Vesuvius, you will have about 2 hours visit to the excavations. Unlike Pompeii, which was a thriving commercial center, Herculaneum was a quaint residential coastal town. On the return journey you will stop at the well-known cameo atelier. Please note this tour is not suitable for those with limited mobility as it involves a long day of walking around the excavation sites.
