Introducing Campania
The most visited of Italy’s southern regions, Campania is an ancient land of high drama and disorientating contrasts. From the seething streets of in-your-face Naples to the spectacular scenery of the Amalfi Coast, the landscape is as varied as it is compelling.
Central to everything is Naples, a sprawling love-it-or-hate-it city beautifully positioned on the bay that bears its name. In the background, Mt Vesuvius broods darkly, a constant reminder of the fate it so dramatically dealt Pompeii and Herculaneum 2000 years ago. Further down the coast, the magnificent temples at Paestum predate Roman times, testament to the region’s past as a Greek colony.
