The Campanian coastline (or ‘Sorrentine peninsula’) stretches elegantly along the Bay of Naples. Naples, the capital of the Campania region, is a densely populated metropolis inhabited with, it seems, more Vespas whizzing through the streets than people. The beauty of Naples’ monuments is sometimes
overshadowed by the reputation of its delicious Margherita pizza (after all, it was invented in Naples). So, sinking your teeth into a pizza anywhere in the Campania region will be an unforgettable delight.
Heading south from Naples, the infamous Mt. Vesuvius looms on the horizon overshadowing the ruins of Pompeii…a city that was buried in volcanic debris when Vesuvius was an active volcano and erupted in 79 A.D. and better appreciated with a private walking tour. As you make your way along the coastal road towards Sorrento and further down the Amalfi Coast, the shoreline glistens with cobalt blue waters and is eventually accentuated with olive trees, vineyards and lemon groves. Sorrento is a lively resort town with plenty of shopping opportunities and the Amalfi Coast will amaze you with its panoramic views...a private tour will surely enhance your experience. And just when you thought the beauty of this area could not captivate you anymore, you come to realise that there is more paradise to be discovered in Positano, Ravello and on the islands of Capri and Ischia which, during antiquity, Roman emperors chose as holiday retreats.
