Neapolitan Riviera

Neapolitan Riviera takes you to the south west coast of Italy, where you’ll find glamorous resorts with plenty of history. Discover the romance of pretty former fishing villages with colourful buildings built into the sides of the cliff and overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean below. Couples will love the serene atmosphere, little churches, stunning natural scenery, and delicious fresh produce. Families can spend days on the beaches, or making the most of the mountains and valleys inland.

The most famous of the Neapolitan Riviera’s idyllic towns is Amalfi, with its luscious gardens, vibrant fishing port, and winding alleyways. For golden buildings basking in the sun, yachts, sailing boats, and colourful fruit groves, head to Sorrento. Or, stay in Ravello and admire the historic buildings, spectacular views, and some of the area’s most famous gardens.

Things to doExplore PositanoHead to Positano for the beach – at 300 metres long, it’s one of the biggest on the Amalfi Coast. Running alongside it is the town’s promenade, home to restaurants and cafes all sporting fantastic sea views. The little piazza just above it is a good place to get your bearings. To one side you’ll find the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, and leading off it is the town’s main shopping street, where small boutiques sell handmade sandals, local artworks and bottles of limoncello.

Things to doSpend a day on Ischia or CapriThe islands of Capri and Ischia make perfect day trips. On Capri, you can browse designer boutiques, tuck in to lunch at stylish beach club restaurants and take a boat to the Blue Grotto sea cave, while Ischia's main draw is its natural spas, where you can soak in hot springs and slather yourself in mineral-rich mud.

Things to doStep inside Amalfi's cathedralAmalfi’s grand cathedral forms the centre-point of the town and is the place most people make a beeline for when they arrive. It sits at the top of a grand staircase, with a striking black and white marble façade and impressive bronze entrance doors that date back to 1061. Inside, you can expect Moorish-style arches, marble columns and stunning mosaics.

Flight Information

Flights from the UK to Naples (the closest airport for the Neapolitan Riviera) take approximately 2 hours 45 minutes.

When to go

Summer months on the Neapolitan Riviera can see temperatures rising into the 30s – perfect for enjoying the beaches and bathing platforms. Spring and autumn are still short-sleeve weather, and ideal for those looking to do more sightseeing (Pompeii has virtually no shade, so can get very warm in the height of summer).

Visa Information

British citizens do not currently require a visa to visit Italy.

Tipping

When you dine out in Italy, you will generally be charged a coperto (cover charge), which is for the bread, tablecloth, cutlery, etc. Tipping in Italy is not customary, but is always appreciated.
