Located in Italy’s Campania region, Naples is a city best known perhaps for allegedly being the creator of one of the world’s most popular culinary exports, pizza. Lovers of this calorie-rich bread, tomato and cheese creation are not the only visitors to head to this popular tourist destination. With its wealth of cultural attractions and fascinating old buildings and landmarks, it’s not difficult to see the attraction of the place.

A coastal location increases Naples’ appeal, and while the city does not offer any particularly stunning beaches of its own, it is within easy driving or sailing distance of some lovely strips of sandy Mediterranean coastline where seaside relaxation or lively water-based activities are possible. The Bay of Naples leads out to the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procid, all scenic locations that welcome the tourist masses.
