The Gulf Of Naples is the cradle of European culture situated in the south of Italy.
Naples gave its name to the Gulf and its famous islands. The Centro Storico Monumentale is situated at the harbour with the large Piazza Del Plebi Cito and the Triumph Church that was built following the return of the Bourbons and modelled on the Pantheon of Rome. The island is dominated by a building which in ancient times was the residence of Lucullus, the Castel Dell´Ovo.
Early in the morning the first ferries bring passengers, goods and vehicles to various islands in the Gulf of Naples. Measuring four square kilometres, Procida is the smallest island off Naples, is densely populated and has a long history.
Ischia is the island of Titan Tiphoios, the largest of the three islands in the Gulf Of Naples, each one now being a popular tourist destination. Both Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte appear to have developed together with their modest houses, palazzi of the rich and fine Baroque churches.
Capri is a magical place, the quintessence of romance and a dream that re-awakes each and every day and Capri Village with its small main square, the ‘Salon Of Europe’, is an enchanting location set within a striking rocky landscape.
Vibrant cities, amazing islands and a paradise of nature and ancient worlds, all harmoniously united on the ‘coast of light’ in the truly captivating Gulf Of Naples.
