In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born. Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’. 131 ©Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd INDEX art 96 car insurance 115 A art galleries, see museums & car travel, see driving accessible travel 121-2 galleries Castelcivita 47 Acciaroli 48-9, 110-11 ATMs 125-6 Castellabate 48, 110 accommodation 13, 122-3 Atrani 23 Castellammare di activities, see individual Auditorium Oscar Stabia 34 activities Niemeyer 99 castles Agerola 40 Castel Nuovo 58 Agropoli 47, 109 B Castello di Arechi 105 air travel 120 Baia di Ieranto 78, 81 Il Castello 109 Amalfi 9, 21-3, 40-1, 92-7, 93 bathrooms 127 Catacombe di San Amalfi Coast 17-25, 85-103, Biblioteca Nazionale di Gennaro 59 17, 18‑19 Napoli 58 cathedrals, see churches & archaeological sites & ruins Blue Ribbon drive 21 cathedrals Complesso Monumentale boat travel 120-1 Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea 21-3, 92-3 di San Lorenzo Bomerano 40, 94 Maggiore 55 caves border crossings 116, 120 Herculaneum 29-30, 64-5 Grotta Azzurra Boscoreale 33, 66 Napoli Sotterranea 55 (Capri) 50, 83 budget 13, 58 Oplontis 32, 66 Grotta Azzurra business hours 126 Paestum 42, 108 (Palinuro) 113 Parco Archeologico di Elea Grotta del Biscotto 94 Velia 50 C Grotta dello Smeraldo Pompeii 9, 33-4, 67-71, cable cars 83 40, 94 68‑9, 70 Camo 24 Grotte di Castelcivita 47 Stabiae 34, 66 Campania Artecard 58 cell phones 13, 127 Terme Suburbane 65 Campi Flegrei 30 cemetries 59 Villa Jovis 83 Capo Palinuro 50 centro storico Villa Romana Capodichino 64 (Sorrento) 73 Antiquarium 102 Cappella delle Crociate 105 Ceramica Artistica Solimene 24 architecture 60 Cappella Sansevero 11, area codes 127 54-5 Certosa e Museo di San Martino 11, 57-8 Capri 40, 83-4 Cetara 24, 41, 102-3 car hire 12, 115-16 000 Map pages Chiostro del Paradiso 23 132 churches & cathedrals discount cards 34, 58 Grotta Azzurra (Palinuro) 113 Basilica di Santa Chiara 54 diving 81, 109, 110 Grotta dello Smeraldo 40, 94 Cappella Sansevero 11, driving 115-19, 120 Grotte di Castelcivita 47 54-5 car hire 12, 115-16 Gusta Minori 102 Cathedral (Ravello) 98 documents 115, 116 Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea driving licence 115 H 21-3, 92-3 emergency numbers 12, health 124-5 Chiesa & Chiostro di San 127 Herculaneum 29-30, 64-5 Francesco 72-3 fuel 12, 119 hiking INDEX Chiesa di Santa Maria insurance 115 Assunta 85-6 Capri 84 language 130 C-M Chiesa di Santa Maria della Ravello 24 maps 116, 117 Grazia 79 Santa Maria del Castello parking 118 Chiesa di Santa Teresa a Circuit 87 road distances 119 Chiaia 60 Sentiero degli Dei 20, 94-5 road rules 116, 117-18 Chiesa di Sant’Agata 80 Sorrento Peninsula 78 safety 116-17, 119 Chiesa San Matteo Spiaggia di Fornillo 91 Apostolo 40 websites 117 holidays 126 Chiostro del Paradiso 94 Duomo (Naples) 55 Duomo (Naples) 55 Duomo (Salerno) 41-2, 104-5 I Duomo (Salerno) 41-2, insurance 115 104-5 E internet access 13, 125 Duomo (Sorrento) 73 electricity 123-4 Italian language 129-30 Pio Monte della emergencies 12, 127 Misericordia 55-6 Ercolano 64-5 Cilento, the 45-51, 110-12 L Cimitero delle Fontanelle 59 F language 129-30 climate 12 LGBT+ travellers 125 Complesso Monumentale di ferries 120-1 San Lorenzo

Brought to the Getty Villa for conservation and analysis last October, the sculpture provides an opportunity to re-examine the career and character of Rome’s second emperor.

INDIVIDUAZIONE DI POSSIBILI GEOSITI NEL SITO UNESCO “COSTIERA AMALFITANA” CRESCENZO VIOLANTE Istituto per l’Ambiente Marino Costiero I “Beni culturali a carattere geologico” o “Geositi”, rappresentano valori importanti da scoprire, custodire, tutelare e valorizzare al pari delle altre categorie di Beni Culturali e sono parimenti una risorsa da utilizzare anche come valore aggiunto per lo sviluppo turistico locale. I Geositi sono beni non rinnovabili e rappresentano un patrimonio geologico-culturale inestimabile che bisogna censire, tutelare e valorizzare. Occorre distinguere tra il concetto di geotopo e quello di geosito. Per geosito si intende qualsiasi località, area o territorio in cui è possibile definire un interesse geologico-geomorfologico e/o paesaggistico per la conservazione (W.A.P. Wimbledon 1995, pp.159-202). Il geosito costituisce un elemento territoriale non necessariamente unitario e non necessariamente appartenente ad una singola categoria ed è pertanto composto da vari geotopi.

  • Travel's Taste
    Travel’s taste YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL PARTNER IN ITALY www.italycreative.it Amalfi Coast Amalfi More about: things to know Coast www.italycreative.it Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests. Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.

  • Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples
    Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples 24 - 31 March 2019 from £1795.00 A tempting Spring break to Italy, relaxing in the mild climate of the Amalfi coast and the Bay of Naples. We will be based in Sorrento on the Amalfi coast for the first three nights, where we will visit the Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. These are the classic Amalfi gardens laid out in terraces where umbrella pines and cypresses shade classical geometric beds edged with box and filled with modern flowers. The site of Villa Cimbrone on a cliff top promontory overlooking the sea is beyond compare. We will also take the ferry to the enchanting island of Capri and explore some of its captivating sights. We travel round the Bay of Naples, breaking our journey with visits to the unique archaeological wonders of Pompeii and Herculaneum, to the pulsating port of Naples itself. We travel out to the north of the city to spend a day at the impressive palace and gardens of La Caserta. This huge palace, with equally grand and impressive gardens, was constructed for the Bourbon Kings of Naples and on completion in the 18th century it was the largest royal residence in the world. Finally a day of art and archaeological treasures as we tour the hot-blooded city of Naples, rich with the aroma of Neapolitan cuisine. Itinerary Day 1 We depart by coach from York for Manchester Airport in time for our scheduled flight to Naples (provisional times 08.00/12.00). Upon arrival we will transfer to our hotel in Sorrento, where we will stay for the next three nights.
