Reiseführer Golf von Neapel, Kampanien, Cilento

Naples, Amalfi, Vesuvius and Pompeii, Capri with the Blue Grotto, Ischia and Procida... A few names are enough to conjure up clichés and images of longing. Do they apply? This up-to-date travel guide provides the answers.

"Il mondo è bello, perchè vario", say the Neapolitans. The world is beautiful because it is varied - surprising, grey, colourful, ugly and ultimately beautiful. Not a bad attitude for a trip to Campania. The mild climate, enchanting landscapes and cultural flair exert an irresistible attraction.

Our author Peter Amann takes us to his Campania, e.g. to "Bella Napoli" (Naples, Italy's most chaotic and fun-loving metropolis, the birthplace of "la vera pizza", the only true pizza), to Naples' world-famous museums, to palaces, churches and the underworld. He lets us experience blue wonders in the "grotta azzurra" on Capri. He sends us back to Roman times with the Pompeii time machine, opening a unique time window into Roman history and everyday life. Surprising is the unspoilt Cilento: dream beaches and crystal-clear sea, rural hinterland and wild, untouched mountain landscapes where wolf and otter say good night to each other. The ideal region for a relaxed family holiday or a varied activity holiday.

Peter Amann's guidebook Gulf of Naples is packed with wonderful offers to discover the region and be surprised. Whether art lovers, gourmets, active travellers or families with children - there is something for everyone to do and admire. Hiking suggestions, biking routes and many tips on traditional Italian events are presented, as well as the most beautiful beaches, bays, windsurfing and diving spots. Plus up-to-date recommendations for charming accommodation in all price ranges. With restaurant tips and a small culinary phrasebook, travellers can discover the variety of Italian.
