From Naples, visitors can explore
the rugged Amalfi coast, Italy's most romantic stretch of coastline.
The winding roads of Amalfi hug the rocky mountainside and offer spectacular
views of azure sea below. Near Amalfi is the tiny resort of Positano,
where visitors enjoy strolling through the streets and shopping in the small
boutiques. Another highlight of a visit to Naples is an excursion to
Pompeii, covered and preserved by the debris from Mount Vesuvius in
79 A.D. Please Note: Do not wear
expensive jewelry or carry a large amount of cash. Cross the streets in
Naples with great care.Pier InformationNaples is a place to take a tour. Although Naples has some points of
interest, if you have never seen Pompeii, Positano, or Capri, take an
excursion to one of those. Pompeii involves quiet a bit of walking.
