There are few places in the world that can be considered as evocative as Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Fewer can still boast breathtaking natural scenery, a vibrant city, a majestic volcano and archaeological traces as fascinating as those of Pompeii. But this land has a cultural heritage to offer that extends to every corner of the region and that goes beyond the worldwide famous Costiera.
