The Campania region has a lot to offer to visitors. It has been inhabited from time immemorial, so there is plenty of history that even pre-dates the arrival of Greeks and Romans into this area. There are Greek remains at Cuma, to the north of Naples, as well as in the Cilento National Park, south of Salerno, at Paestum, in addition to the remarkably well-preserved Roman ruins of Herculaneum, Pompeii, Oplontis and Stabiae, near Naples. The latter is also well known for its Greek origins and for the remains of the Greek and Roman time. There is plenty of antique material on display at the numerous museums spread all over the region: remains and artifacts dating back to prehistory times, as well as more modern handicrafts.
The Campania region is famous for its diverse landscapes. Its long and stunning coastline includes the world famous and stunning Amalfi Coast and the Sorrento peninsula, as well as the more romantic Cilento coast. Close to the gulf of Naples there are the awesome islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida.
The region is also notable for the Apennine mountain range which embraces the plain known as the Piana Campana, offering outstanding panorama stretches. Many lakes and rivers generate from those mountains. Consequently, there are many opportunities to go hiking, for a truly inspiring experience in spectacular natural areas, and enjoy some of the best sceneries in the world. Among the most popular hikes Mt. Vesuvius, with its breathtaking views over the gulf of Naples, is surely the best target for hikers. The Sentiero degli dei (the Path of Gods), on the Amalfi Coast, is also considered to be one of the most beautiful trails which offers a real opportunity to slow down and disconnect from the daily grind.
The Campania region has been home to different people for centuries, therefore there is evidence of their culture and their artistic production in numerous buildings, art galleries, royal palaces, castles, churches and monasteries.
The cities and villages of the region have always their own peculiarity, so it is possible to visit each of them and constantly marvel at it.
