We are going to Pompeii and Herculaneum. What is the relationship between Pompeii and the Villa of Poppaea at Oplontis and the Libero D’Orsi Archaeological Museum at the Royal Palace of Quisisana in Castellammare di Stabia. .Are the latter two sites worth a special trip? Thanks! Stephanie Smith

I've been to Villa of Poppaea at Oplontis and enjoyed it very much. It really gave the sense of being a family home. This was in the early 90s when it was not well known, so I was one of just a handful of visitors the day I was there.
Not sure what you're asking by "what is the relationship..."? Do you mean how easy/difficult it is to get from one of these sites to another? Or the relationships in ancient history? Or... ?
