Positano
Is a small town on the Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), in Campania, Italy. The main part of the city sits in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast.
Is considered one of the most beautiful and picturesque places of the world. Small houses, a magic atmosphere, beaches.

Ravello
In the Spring of 1880 Richard Wagner arrived in Ravello, accompanied by his stage designer, the painter Joukovsky. At that time, the great German musician was working on the composition of Parsifal and it is obvious just how important a role the real enchantment of the Villa Rufolo played in the creation of the magic garden of Klingsor.

Capri
No visit to Capri is complete without at least a few hours spent on the Mediterranean sea surrounding the island.
Whether you choose to join an organised tour, or rent a private boat with captain, taking to the turquoise waters is the only way to explore some of the most beautiful parts of the island. In fact, many of the most enchanting stretches of the Capri coastline are completely inaccessible by land.

Baia di Ieranto
The Bay of Ieranto opens out on the southern coast of the Sorrento peninsula in front of the "Faraglioni" of Capri. It is a place of uncontaminated beauty and, in ancient and poetic legends, to mermaids. Strolling along the path set in the silence of a superb natural environment (only the sea, the cliffs, the beaches, the huge, rolling rocky site mostly cloaked with Mediterranean maquis and olive trees, together with other huge masses of hard rock), one can admire the entire bay in all its solemnity.

Pompei
Pompei holds an intense fascination for visitors today. Following the eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, Pompei lay buried and forgotten for hundreds of years and the excavations begun in the 18th Century are still being carried out today. You can see the past prosperity of the town in the Roman villas, bathhouses and temples which have been unearthed. Even an amphitheatre has been found.

Ercolano
Herculaneum was destroyed along with Pompei in 79 AD, and was rediscovered in 1709. It was a residential town without Pompei's commercial importance, and wealthy Romans lived here. Herculaneum was buried by a torrent of lava that hardened into a soft tufa (a kind of coarse rock) that preserved many of the wooden parts of houses and household objects, which can be seen today.

Reggia di Caserta
Caserta is known as the "Versailles of Naples" after the Royal Palace built here by the Bourbon King, Charles III, in the 18th century. The enchanting palace overlooking the huge square is one of the most sumptuous buildings of its kind in Italy.  It has over 1,200 rooms and is full of paintings and rich decorations. The magnificent gardens are 3 km long and their crowning glory is a 75 metre high waterfall, which can be clearly seen from the palace.

Paestum
Paestum is noted for its splendidly preserved Greek temples. The ancient Greek part of Paestum consists of two sacred areas containing three Doric temples in a remarkable state of preservation. During the ensuing Roman period a typical forum and town layout grew up between the two ancient Greek sanctuaries.
