With MARCO POLO Naples & the Amalfi Coast you will experience a veritable paradise: bright yellow lemons glowing from the dark lemon groves of Sorrento and Amalfi, and the intoxicating scent of white blossoms. In the deep grottos along the rocky coast the sea is cobalt blue and emerald green. This practical, pocket-sized guide takes you through the narrow alleyways and colourful markets of Naples.

Meander across the broad and elegant squares, or descend into the city's subterranean world of tufa (volcanic rock).

The most important highlights lead you to places that should definitely not be missed on your visit to the Gulf of Naples. The 'Best Of' pages point out some experiences unique to this part of Italy, recommend things to do for free, and have tips for rainy days and where you can relax and unwind. The Insider Tips reveal where you can enjoy Naples' best Espresso or experience a tonic for the senses. Excursions & Tours lead you from mighty monuments to mountain solitude: a day trip takes you to the enormous palace of Caserta complete with ancient legends and more recent splendour. To discover the mountainous hinterland of the Cilento you should allow at least two days: on horseback or by bike, in a canoe or on foot, you can explore its wildly romantic scenery. The Sport & Activities chapter will give you some more sporting tips. Finally the Dos & Don'ts highlight a few things you need to be aware of when visiting the country.
