It is the only city in the ancient world that has not perished like Ilium, like Nineveh, like Babylon. It is the only city in the world that has not sunk in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilisation. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried.” In the company of an expert storyteller, embark on a journey through the vibrant heart of this mysterious southern capital, discovering decorated catacombs, richly encoded chapels and aged rituals. Customise your tour, choosing from: – Farmacia degli Incurabili: This pharmaceutical laboratory was a meeting point for the Neapolitan Enlightened elite. Discover the intriguing anecdotes of a place where art and science collided. – Biblioteca dei Girolamini: Home to a vast archive of books and opera music since 1586, this is the oldest public library in Naples. – San Gaudioso Catacombs: Concealed beneath the Basilica di Santa Maria della Santità lies one of the most important early Christian cemeteries in Naples. Head underground to unearth the mysterious crypt’s secrets. – Sansevero Chapel: Preserving the Veiled Christ, one of the greatest masterpieces ever carved in marble, this chapel is an iconic example of 18th-century creativity. The statues appear so fluid and soft, you may be tempted to reach out and touch them. Visits may vary according to availability.

    Comunicato Stampa

    COMUNICATO STAMPA Bilancio più che positivo per la prima giornata del Gusta Minori 2016 nella serata di sabato 27 agosto sarà presente anche il Presidente della Regione Campania, Vincenzo De Luca E’ iniziata nel migliore dei modi la ventesima edizione del Gusta Minori, la kermesse che, dal 26 al 28 agosto, coniuga arte, cultura, spettacolo e gastronomia, diventata uno degli appuntamenti imperdibili del calendario estivo in Costiera Amalfitana. Una grande affluenza di pubblico ed applausi a scena aperta hanno accolto il conferimento della cittadinanza onoraria di Minori al professor Giuseppe Liuccio, consulente culturale del Gusta Minori sin dal 2002, nonché il riconoscimento della manifestazione come evento di interesse comunale, votata all’unanimità da tutta l’assise cittadina. Sul sagrato della Basilica di Santa Trofimena, alla presenza di tutti i sindaci della Costa d’Amalfi, del senatore Alfonso Andria, del Presidente della Provincia di Salerno Giuseppe Canfora, del Prefetto di Alessandria Romilda Tafuri e del Presidente del Gusta Minori Corporation Antonio Porpora, il vulcanico professor Giuseppe Liuccio ha ripercorso la storia della sua vita che l’ha portato, per la prima volta, ad Amalfi in qualità di docente di lettere del locale liceo e fu “amore a prima vista, innamoramento che dura ancora oggi”; da quel momento, infatti, ha partecipato con slancio e gioia in maniera attiva alla promozione turistica di tutto il comprensorio amalfitano, diventando a tutti gli effetti cittadino della costiera, come è stato giustamente sottolineato dal rappresentante della conferenza dei sindaci. Un ricordo commosso, poi, è stato rivolto al compianto Ezio Falcone, gastronomo e cultore della storia del territorio, pioniere della riscoperta degli antichi sapori della Costiera Amalfitana e artefice, con gli altri, dei successi ottenuti dal Premio Internazionale di Letteratura Enogastronomica.
  • How to Get from Naples to Amalfi Coast

    How to Get from Naples to Amalfi Coast

    By Wanderlust Storytellers Quick Overview: • Day 1: Drive to Amalfi Coast and explore Positano • Day 2: Enjoy the stunning Ilse of Capri • Day 3: Explore the beautiful coastal towns along the Amalfi Coast drive Accommodation: • 2 Nights at either Positano, Praiano, Ravello or Amalfi (We recommend 3 nights in Amalfi) HELPFUL INFORMATION When to Go: May – June and September – October Try to avoid heading there in the middle of summer as it will be sweltering hot and you will find crowds everywhere! How Long Should I Stay on the Amalfi Coast? We highly recommend a minimum of 3 days and 4 nights. Most travelers choose to spend 7 days on Amalfi Coast which is the optimum amount of days to fit in all the towns, walks, beaches and day trips. Which Town Should I Stay at on the Amalfi Coast? Our absolutely favourite town to stay in is Positano. It is truly the most beautiful out of all the towns but unfortunately it is also one of the costlier ones to stay at. Read more about Positano in our guide here. If you need help in figuring out where to stay, you will find our detailed comparison table and review guide of the towns beneficial. How to get from Naples to Amalfi Coast: • Options: You have the option of catching local transport (bus, train, ferry); grabbing a private transfer (we personally love Blacklane Transfers); or Renting a Car (our personal favourite method). • Time Required to get from Naples to Positano: Around 1.30 hours (more if driving in rush hour traffic) Day One POSITANO ACCOMMODATION: Amalfi MORNING | Drive from Naples to Positano Depending on your arrival time in Naples, you could either visit Pompeii or Sorrento on the way down to Positano.

This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview One of Italy’s most blessed regions, the Sorrentine Peninsula and nearby Isle of Capri seemingly have it all—history, elegance, authentic villages, dramatic coastal scenery, and untouched wild places—all interconnected by a wide network of walking trails that remain just out of view of the more touristed places. From Sorrento, Capri, Positano, and Ravello, you slip out of elegant town squares into a landscape of age-old terraces of lemon and olive groves and onto high ridges with sweeping views of the sparkling Mediterranean. You’ll explore at your own pace, wandering through whitewashed villages and climbing hillside trails dotted with wild herbs to stunning clifftop promontories before reaching sumptuous villa gardens. Elegant hotels capture the glamour and old-world style that have drawn visitors for centuries on a Grand Tour, an artist’s retreat, or a jet-setting jaunt.

The rich natural beauty of Campania makes it highly important in the tourism industry. Campania was a full- fledged part of the Roman Republic by the end of the 4th centu- ry BC, valued for its pastures and rich countryside. Naples, with its Greek language and customs, made it a cen- ter of Hellenistic culture for the Romans, creating the first traces of Greco-Roman culture, the area had many duchies and principalities during the Middle Ages, in the hands of the Byzantine Empire (also re- populous in the European Union. The region is home ferred to as the Eastern Roman Empire) and to 10 of the 55 UNESCO sites in Italy, like Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Amalfi Coast and the Historic Centre of Naples. Moreover, Mount Vesuvius is part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Coastal areas in the region were colonized by the Ancient Greeks between the 8th and 7th centu- ries BC, becoming part of the so-called Magna Græcia.
