Holidays in Campania
Holidays by the sea in Campania, where to go? From the Sorrento Peninsula to the Amalfi Coast, from Cilento to Capri, the entire Campania coast offers truly exceptional seaside resorts with pristine beaches and crystal clear seas.
Along the coast of Campania are some of the most beautiful and picturesque beaches in Italy, where wild nature and high cliffs overlooking the sea coexist with golden beaches and small fishing villages.
German travelers to Italy in the 18th century were already impressed by Campania. Johann Gottfried Seume as well as Goethe, who was inspired here to write his poem Do you know the land where lemons bloom. Campania is now the most popular holiday region in southern Italy. Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Cilento and the islands of Ischia and Capri are real magnets for visitors. The pleasant climate encourages lush vegetation in the midst of almost unspoiled nature.
In Campania, the popular archaeological sites are Pompeii, Paestum and Herculaneum, the Blue Cave on Capri, Villa Rufolo in Ravello and, last but not least, Mount Vesuvius. Apart from the tours, there are many other activities available. Swimming and water sports, discovery by bike or on foot in the Cilento National Park and many modern sports ensure the diversity of your holiday in Campania.
nature and landscapes
Large parts of the Cilento region were declared a National Park (Parco Nazionale del Cilento e Valle del Diano) in 1991 and finally a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. The landmark of the region is the 1281 meter high Mount Vesuvius. The mighty volcano continues to attract travelers from all over the world. Trips to Mount Vesuvius are often booked. It is located only 9 kilometers from the city of Naples in the bay of the same name and its activities hardly allow the area to relax. But the people around him have now come to terms with their dangerous neighbor.
Sights in Campania
Throughout Campania, monuments from Greek and Roman antiquity and lofty buildings from the Middle Ages bear witness to a rich history. The most famous sights in Campania are Pompeii, Paestum, Herculaneum and, last but not least, Mount Vesuvius. There are many tours of archaeological sites and Mount Vesuvius, which you can also combine with each other. The flourishing cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were obliterated during a horrific volcanic eruption in 79 AD. This accident of unknown proportions later turned out to be fortunate for archaeology. A whole city from the 1st century AD has been preserved. Excavations have been taking place there since the 18th century.
Casa Diomedi and Casa unknown poet give a good impression of the lifestyle of the Roman high society. Pompeii also has the oldest amphitheater in the world, which was built 150 years before the Colosseum. On the wall of the gladiator barracks you can still find the graffiti of the ancient fans. There are also impressive amphitheatres in Capua and Puzzula. We can imagine how the Thracian Spartacus felt when he escaped from the gladiator school in Capua and started the greatest slave revolt in antiquity. For those interested in gladiators, visit the Museo Nazionale in Naples, which houses 80% of the gladiator armor preserved today.
The island of Ischia has an impressive variety of vegetation and warm, radioactive springs. Capri has another tourist highlight with the Blue Cave.
