Destinations

Naples & Pompeii

Naples explodes with art and antiquities, from colossal Roman statues at Museo Archeologico Nazionale to Caravaggio at Museo di Capodimonte.

Sorrento & Around

A strangely appealing place, Sorrento oozes laid-back, southern-Italian charm.

Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana) is one of Europe’s most breathtaking coasts.

Salerno & the Cilento

Salerno is an intriguing labyrinth of colourful earthy streets, and the Cilento is home to secluded coves and golden beaches.

Naples & Pompeii

Blessed with rich volcanic soils, a bountiful sea and centuries of culinary know-how, the Naples region is one of Italy’s epicurean heavyweights. Nearby you’ll also find Europe’s most compelling archaeological site: the ruins of Pompeii.

NAPLES

081 / Pop 966,145

Italy’s third-largest city is one of its oldest, most artistic and most delicious. Naples’ centro storico (historic centre) is a Unesco World Heritage Site, its archaeological treasures are among the world’s most impressive, and its swag of vain-glorious palaces, castles and churches make Rome look positively provincial.
