A wonderful climate, spectacular sea, and dramatically beautiful views - all created by nature, to be subsequently imprinted by the ancient civilisations which have passed through the gulf leaving behind them the traces of their art and architecture and infusing the area with aspects of their traditions and culture.
The Bay of Naples is, in fact, one of the richest areas for archaeological, artistic, and monumental works, as well as being a land of great popular traditions, renowned for the warmth of the people and their passion for music, dance, and the dramatic arts. From small, almost unknown, villages to the vibrant city of Naples and the colourful towns of Sorrento and Pompei, the bay forms a magnificent display of unique and unforgettable panoramas, a continuum of past history and culture - with its churches, cloisters and monuments and popular traditions.
The same beauty of the mainland can be found across the water on the three small islands of the gulf – the tiny Procida, the green Ischia, and the supreme queen of the gulf, Capri. All places to see, each one to explore and, whenever possible, to experience to the full.
