Campania
Campania boasts one of the most suggestive coasts in the world
Naples, the capital, offers art and history lovers numerous itineraries.
Campania owes its fame to the warmth of its people, its cornucopia of food and wine, and to its splendid coast dotted with picturesque villages. Naples, the capital, offers art and history lovers numerous itineraries that require several days to be explored to the fullest. Set on the slopes of the imposing Vesuvius volcano, and spanning right down the coast, this is one of the largest cities bordering The Mediterranean.
For lovers of archeology, the sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii are a must. These were unearthed in 1700, and had been entirely covered with lava during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Campania boasts one of the most suggestive coasts in the world: Amalfi, Sorrento, the island of Capri, these are names that anyone, anywhere in the world, has heard of and immediately associates to Italy.
Further south of the Amalfi Coast, very populous and lively in the summer, there is the less worldly Cilento, which attracts visitors, with its crystal clear waters. Ideal for those who prefer staying away from the more touristy areas.
