Campania Italy Travel Articles

Also visit our AMALFI COAST/NAPLES page

Campania is the most-visited of Italy's southern regions. Encompassing Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Cilento, Caserta and more, it is not hard to understand the draw this area has had for modern and ancient travelers alike. Explore the Roman and Greek influences at ancient sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum and you will be transported back in history several thousand years. Caserta's more moden palace  - one that rivals Versailles - also deserves a visit. Don't miss Campania's natural wonders along the coast in the mountains, including the national park of Cilento.
