The archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum offer an extraordinary journey into the past, unveiling the remains of ancient cities buried under layers of ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pompeii, located near the Civita hill, together with Herculaneum, Stabiae, and Oplontis, represents one of the most complete records of Roman life. The excavations, initiated by Charles III of Bourbon, revealed an exceptionally well-preserved city, offering a vivid snapshot of daily life in that era.

In 1997, to ensure protection and acknowledge the historical value of these sites, the ruins of Pompeii, along with those of Herculaneum and Oplontis, were included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. This site, which welcomed more than two million visitors annually in the first decade of the 21st century, was the second most visited archaeological site in Italy in 2010, demonstrating the enduring appeal and significance of these ancient marvels.

Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano on mainland Europe and towers imposingly over the Gulf of Naples. Its history is marked by numerous eruptions, including the legendary one in 79 AD that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum under a thick layer of ash and pumice. The last significant eruption occurred in 1944. Today, Vesuvius is protected as a national park and is covered with lush vegetation. It is renowned not only for its natural landscape but also for its vineyards, which produce fine wines like the famous "Lacrima Christi." A visit to its slopes, leading up to the crater where a spectacular panoramic view of the entire Bay of Naples unfolds, is an unforgettable experience not to be missed.

Positano has been a vacation destination since the times of the Roman Empire, as evidenced by the discovery of a villa and recent archaeological findings in 2004. The characteristic maze of “stairways” connecting the heart of the town to the beach offers a charming walk through its wonders. The main beaches, Spiaggia Grande and Fornillo, are easily reachable on foot, while the more secluded ones, like La Porta, Arienzo, and San Pietro Laurito, are primarily accessible by sea. The church dedicated to the Madonna dell’Assunta, with its extraordinary architecture, is considered one of Italy’s most beautiful treasures.

Continuing along the Amalfi Coast, you come across Amalfi, an enchanting corner that captivates visitors with its splendid Arab-Sicilian style cathedral, dedicated to Saint Andrew, the city’s patron. The beaches of Amalfi, except for those directly in the city center, are accessible via long stairways or by sea, offering a unique experience immersed in nature.

In the equally charming Ravello, visitors can admire a hundred altars, about forty of which are still consecrated. The historic palaces of the ancient Ravello families, many of which have become hotels in recent centuries, are mainly located in the noble “rione del Toro” district and stretch from Piazza Fontana to Piazza Duomo, adding a touch of elegance and history to this coastal paradise.

Don’t miss a visit to Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, the two precious jewels of the city.

The two Mediterranean gems that the whole world envies: Capri and Ischia. The Blue Island has always captivated with its breathtaking landscape and natural wonders. Capri's rugged coastline is dotted with numerous caves and coves, interspersed with imposing cliffs. The most famous of these is the "Blue Grotto," a magical place where sunlight creates extraordinary lighting effects that captivate anyone fortunate enough to witness them. The famous "Faraglioni," three rocky islets located a short distance from the shore, give the island a unique scenic effect, offering a natural spectacle of incomparable beauty. Capri is home to unique flora and fauna, including the rare blue lizard, which finds refuge on one of the Faraglioni. The Mediterranean vegetation, dominated by agaves, prickly pears, and broom shrubs, further enriches the landscape.

Capri’s nightlife is lively and sophisticated, with exclusive venues such as the famous taverna “Anema e Core,” which has always attracted many figures from the international jet set.

The island of Ischia, on the other hand, is renowned for its thermal waters, a resource utilized since ancient times thanks to the island's volcanic nature. Ischia is one of Europe's leading spa destinations, with springs, fumaroles, and mud baths spread across the territory. The island’s well-equipped and highly qualified spa centers offer visitors a unique opportunity to rejuvenate and enjoy the benefits of its therapeutic waters.
