NAPLES, CAPRI AND THE AMALFI COAST

With its starlit isles, 24-karat resorts, and sapphire-shaded lagoons, Campania has been the crema di crema of Italian tourism ever since the Roman emperors headed here to work on their tans. Today, its siren call remains irresistible: with five of the top ten destinations in Italy for Americans---captivating Capri, whirlwind Naples, seductive Sorrento, petrified Pompeii, and perfect Positano---this region is second only to Tuscany for number of visitors per year. Covering it all, Fodor’s Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast is gorgeously written and immensely useful (to quote Conde Nast Traveler’s rave) but now ups the ante with a spectacular, new, photo-rich make-over.
