GO VISTA: Travel guide Gulf of Naples/Amalfi Coast

About the Travel Destination Gulf of Naples and Amalfi Coast

When thinking of the Campania region, Naples is the first city that comes to mind. While this is geographically accurate, this vibrant city, pulsating in its own rhythm, only constitutes a small part of the coastal region along the Gulf of Naples, which offers a diverse holiday program.

If you accept the invitation to this area, you can expect to experience authentic Roman daily life in the largest ancient open-air museum in the world – Pompeii. Alternatively, you can embark on a mountain hike with unforgettable views of the majestic volcano Vesuvius, which seems to be peacefully sleeping yet can awaken with a thunderous roar at any moment. A visit to the Phlegraean Fields, a steaming volcanic region, reveals the immense natural forces that still lie dormant beneath the earth.

Or how about spending a summer in one of the magnificent noble villas along the Golden Mile? There is plenty of art and culture to discover in the city of Salerno, Naples' eternal rival. The beautiful island of Capri offers a romantic atmosphere, especially when the red sun sinks into the sea!

For those seeking a peaceful and tranquil holiday, the small island of Procida is the perfect choice, having preserved its authenticity to this day. In contrast, the island of Ischia is usually the destination for those looking to benefit from the health-promoting and healing powers of its numerous thermal springs.
