Naples is raw, high-octane energy, a place of soul-stirring art
and panoramas, spontaneous conversations and unexpected, inimitable elegance.
Welcome to Italy's most unlikely masterpiece.
The name of Naples comes from the Greek Neapolis, meaning new city.
Its close proximity to many interesting sites, such as Pompeii and the Bay of Naples,
makes it a good base for exploring the area. Naples is a vibrant and chaotic city,
full of wonderful historical and artistic treasures and narrow, winding streets with
small shops. You could easily spend a few days here and just begin to scratch the surface.
It's about two hours south of Rome.

Paestum is home to one of Europe's most glorious archaeological zones.
Deemed a World Heritage site by Unesco, it includes three of the world's
best-preserved ancient Greek temples, as well as an engrossing museum crammed
with millennia-old frescoes, ceramics and daily artefacts.
Among these is the iconic Tomba del tuffatore (Tomb of the Diver) funerary fresco.

The Path of the Gods (or Sentiero degli Dei in Italian) is a clifftop trail
above the Amalfi Coast. The main section of the hike is 6.5 km (4 miles)
between the small villages of Bomerano (in Agerola) and Nocelle (above Positano).
There are beautiful views of the sea and coastal towns below along the way.
Both these villages are above the sea, so there isnโt a huge change of elevation
between them. The hike is of moderate difficulty. If you are an experienced
hiker youโll find it easy and if you are reasonably fit youโll be fine.
