Tour Location

History

Campania is one of the most inspiring and intriguing regions in Italy. Evidence of history from 1600 BC can be found in this region, from the first Greek settlers, to the Roman influence and rule. The terrain is comprised of majestic volcanoes, lush mountainside, sparkling sea, and limestone cliffs, decorated by the nature of the Mediterranean influences. Naples is the biggest and liveliest city in Campania. One of the most popular phrases heard from people around the world, is "Vedi Napoli e poi muori! — See Naples and die!" Since Naples was its own Kingdom until the end of the 19th century, being a Neapolitan is rooted in the hearts of the people, and their passion runs as deep for their city, as that of Vesuvius for the Siren Parthenope.
