Bay of Naples and Southern Italy (6th ed)

This guide has it all: Italy''s most desirable vacation destination is the subject of one of Cadogan''s bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic.

Along with color photographs and maps, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings.

Cadogan explores the home of pizza, seeking out the pleasures of chic Positano and the Amalfi Coast, where Mount Vesuvius towers over the fantasy garden frescoes of Pompeii; the ravishing landscape of Capri; and vibrant Naples, with its world-famous restaurants and nightlife.

Aside from the bright lights of the islands and the coast, the guide covers the inland regions of Southern Italy casual tourists rarely see: the mountain plateaux of rugged Calabria, Puglia, with its flavors of Greece and Africa, and remote Basilicata, the province of Matera, made a World Heritage Site for its astonishing neighborhoods of cave homes.
