 * THE NEAPOLITAN RIVIERA: **

Naples is the largest city in South Italy and one of the most beautiful, particularly around the Bay of Naples. The capital of Campania, this sprawling metropolis was founded by Greeks and later enlarged by Romans, and as a result is rich in history and stunning architecture. To one side of Naples is Mount Vesuvius, and near to the bay are the pretty islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, which all lend themselves to day trips. Pompeii and Herculaneum are full of some of the most interesting and revealing Roman ruins in Italy, after being destroyed by Vesuvius when it erupted almost 2,000 years ago.

__**CLIMATE:**__ In Naples, the climate is typically Mediterranean, with high temperatures and sunny days in the summer and colder, damper weather in the winter. It is possible to see the entire gulf of Naples from the Sorrento penisula to Cape Miseno,Procida and Ischia. It is also possible to sadly note the large number of buildings which have been built on the vulnerable flanks of the mountain.
