With small fisherman dwellings, whitewashed villas situated on the cliff face and lovely hotels with some of the most spectacular views that lead down to the colourful centre, filled with designer boutiques and streetside cafés - an absolutely gorgeous location.
You have the choice to relax in just one of the resorts in the Neapolitan Riviera, or hire a car and enjoy a combination of this most beautiful stretch of Italy's coast. The drive between Sorrento and Amalfi has the most spectacular views as the road winds up and down the coastal hillside.

Island in the Bay of Naples. Idyllic, rugged Capri with its shimmering blue Grotto and cliffs that descend rapidly down to the sea. Its main town ablaze with alleyways and trendy squares, visited by many a famous celebrity is full of jewellery shops and designer boutiques.

  Kuoni Travel   - Cilento
An area of outstanding natural beauty, Cilento lies at the southern end of the Gulf of Salerno further down from the Neapolitan Riviera. It offers unspoilt rural landscapes, remote mountainous interiors and dramatic coastal scenery. Quieter than Amalfi, it is characterised by its rugged shores, long sandy beaches and the marine waters are a designated National Park. Cilento is a region unblemished by modernity, blessed by a sunny Mediterranean climate, strong southern Italian traditions and hospitable people.
This remotest part of the Campania region, thick woods of pine and glorious coast line still enjoy a traditional way of life.

  Kuoni Travel   - Ischia
In contrast with its famous sister island of Capri, mountainous, volcanic Ischia is blessed with beautiful beaches, hot natural springs, a fashionable marina and village, the enchanting castle and centuries old houses offer magical views.

Sovereign Premium Holidays [ ATOL 230 ] - Destination : Neapolitan Riviera [ Amalfi and Sorrento ]
Situated on a stretch of coastline of unrivalled beauty, on the northern slope of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Neapolitan Riviera lies in a sheltered spot, surrounded by luxuriant hills. Overlooking the sea, its descending terraces are lined with lemon groves, orange trees, grapevines and olive trees. The tourist vocation of the area was established in the 1800s with its inclusion in the "Grand Tour"; defining the most important Italian sights every noble European son should make to complete his cultural, historical and literary formation. Distinguished guests, such as Byron, Keats, Dickens, Wagner and Ibsen to mention the most famous, came in search of sun and inspiration. Influenced over the centuries by various cultures, the Greeks gave Sorrento its urban layout, still clearly visible today.
Sovereign is a specialist tour operator with more than 30 years experience.

Time Out Naples - Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast 
This stunning Mediterranean city is enjoying a new-found self-confidence. Recent years have seen a dramatic reclamation of its heritage, as piazze that once functioned as car parks have been restored to their original glory in a clean-up process that is almost complete. Naples today is once again recognisable as the place that drew the Grand Tourists with its unique combination of outstanding beauty and overtones of mythology. But the bustle, the street-life, the numerous cafes, bars and restaurants remain. The guide will also take you beyond the city to explore the best of the Amalfi coast, the town of Sorrento, the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida and the ancient sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

The Food Lover's Companion to Naples and the Campania  -  Carla Capalbo
Naples and the Campania are home to one of the most vibrant, but under-appreciated cuisines of Italy, and in order to make it better known the Government of the Regione of Campania has commissioned this sequel to Carla Capalbo's well-known Food Lover's Companion to Tuscany - a task that has taken two solid years of research.

There are full descriptions of the many specialities of the region, such as mozzarella, recipes for local dishes, and a wealth of information for the traveller. Over 200 photographs in full colour bring the extraordinary gastronomic riches of this region to life.

History of Campania

 History of Italy  -  WikipediA
Italy's history is perhaps the most important one for the cultural and social development of the Mediterranean area as a whole. The country has been host to important human activities in prehistoric times, and therefore archaeological sites of note can be found in many regions: Latium and Tuscany, Umbria and Basilicata. After Magna Graecia, the Etruscan civilisation and especially the Roman Empire that came to dominate this part of the world for many centuries, came the medieval Humanism and the Renaissance that further helped to shape European philosophy and art.
