Boats on the Amalfi Coast

Campania

Campania is a rapid, often exciting region with its charm and its dangers. Naples is the capital of the region of Campania. In the shadow of the Vesuvius as in the cradle is located the city of Naples, pampered by the sun rays and washed by the ocean waves with fabulous coasts. There are located the sensational archaeological excavation sites. The whole city was covered by lava of erupting volcano of Vesuvius. Events of the last century gave the region of Campania many attractions and, simultaneously, took it to one of the most attractive and worthy of attention regions for holidays in Italy.

Not far from Naples there are such cities as Pompeii, Paestum, Amalfi and the island of Capri and Procida, which are considered to be the symbols of the region of Campania. Between the wild mountains and charming and romantic beaches outweigh the beautiful and elegant ancient cities and resorts. Here in the region of Campania in southern part of the coastline is located the ruins of the temple. This place is considered to be one of the few places in the world that has survived to this day. The ruins of the temple Paestum were founded in 6th century BC.

A little north is the Amalfi coast. Amalfi is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking sea coasts of Europe. Meandering coastline of more than 50 km is similar to a work of art with its picturesque cliffs, steep banks, crystal clear water and ravishingly beautiful towns such as Sorrento, Ravello, Amalfi and Positano. On the Amalfi Coast is located one the most luxurious and expensive hotels in Europe, which will welcome holidaymakers and can offer the best accommodation even when there is a large influx of tourists. However, the astronomical prices for hotel rooms do not mean that the room is luxurious.

To feel the breath of luxury and enjoy the vacation in paradise will allow the island of Capri. This insanely fantastic island is located in the Gulf of Naples. This island is rather small, but it is so impressive and unique in its kind. To the island each day come more than 5 000 tourists and vacationers. Memorable holidays on the island of Capri can enjoy the one who stays directly on the island in a hotel, renting an apartment or house for a vacation. The main tourist streets, fishing sites, caves, fields of lemon trees and breathtaking roads - all this charming beauty attract tourists to the island of Capri.
