Italy’s southwest coast is home to the magical Neapolitan Riviera, which stretches all along from Sorrento, conveniently close to Naples, down to the Amalfi Coast looking out across the tempting turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Experience whitewashed streets perfumed by the zesty citrus of lemon trees and enlivened by the pop of pink bougainvillea. Your evenings can be spent feasting in twinkling marina restaurants.
