Italy, as always, is a top-tier vacation for most travelers. But while most travelers have a tendency to choose Rome and Florence, they are missing out on one of the most authentic cities in Italy—Naples. Located on the southwest of the peninsula, Naples is a coastal city with a connection to other famous sites nearby; the well-preserved cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum which lie in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius, and the picturesque Amalfi Coast. With a distinct culture and sites that showcase a different side of Italy, Naples is a choice destination for the traveler. Today’s 60-Second Geography is brought to you by ShoreTrips.

Naples with ShoreTrips
|
Naples, and its surrounding areas, is one of the premiere areas of the Mediterranean. It’s sure not to disappoint the traveler looking for the most perfect of climates and a relaxing atmosphere that rejuvenates the soul. |
JOURNEY TO ANCIENT HERCULANEUMUnlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was a seaside resort, a smaller town with a wealthier population at the time of its destruction. Covered by a torrent of mud, rather than ash, the ruins are in some ways even better-preserved than those of Pompeii. Because the site was more protected from atmospheric agents and illegal excavators, here you will find a natural preservation of wooden elements, fabrics, and architecture.

PRIVATE: WINE TASTING IN AVELLINOAvellino is the land of great noble wines. The south of Italy, particularly Campania, is one of the most exciting wine areas in the world, where the great noble wines are produced. This tour allows access to the main wine cellars where three of them are created. The first is Greco di Tufo, an aristocratic wine introduced by the Greeks from Thessaly. It is straw-coloured and pleasing, yet dry, in taste. The second, Fiano, is an antique wine that is very aromatic and often served as an apertif. Third is the Taurasi, considered the best red in Italy and the first in this area to receive the prestigious DOCG. They are cool climate wines in a hot climate region. |

PRIVATE CAPRI AND AMALFI COAST DAY BY BOATBoard your private boat and begin the day with a wonderful trip around the island of Capri, where your guide will show you the incredible scenery and famous caves. See the “Grotta Bianca,” which you can enter via steps to admire the wonderful light effects and stalactite formations, and the “Grotta Verde,” where you can swim from one side to the other in green and crystal water. Also see the famous “Faraglioni Rocks,” and, of course, the Blue Grotto, which you may be able to visit via a little boat waiting at the entrance of the cave (weather permitting). Perhaps you would also like to take some time to go out on the piazza of Capri. |
