Bay of Naples at a glance
Vibrant, passionate, unique: words which perfectly describe the bay lying in the shadow of Vesuvius. A land home to ancient traditions, archaeological and artistic treasures, and the world's most enchanting islands.
A wonderful climate, a spectacular sea, and magnificent cities constructed centuries ago by the ancient civilisations who passed through the gulf, leaving behind them the traces of their art and architecture. The Bay of Naples, rich in archaeological, artistic, and monumental works, is renowned for the warmth of its inhabitants and their passion for music, dance, and the dramatic arts. From the vibrant and densely populated city of Naples to the elegant Sorrento and the ruins of Pompei, the bay offers a series of unique and unforgettable town and seascapes. Vying with the beauties of the mainland, across the water lie the three small islands of the gulf Procida, Ischia, and Capri.
