Castellammare di Stabia
Castellammare di Stabia is a pleasant, modern, busy city. It is one of the most important cities in Campania and yet it has preserved a human quality about it yhat immediately comforts and enthralls the visitor. Here, the Kings of Naples, used to spend their holidays (Villa Quisisana) throughout the centuries. And some of Italy's most famous and gloriuos ships, have been launched in its shipyards..
The name of Castellammare di Stabia immediately and inevitably calls to mind its spas. The 28 springs of mineral waters (wich belong to two types: chlorinated-sodium waters and sulphurous and ferruginous waters) are an unending gift of Nature and are utilized in two spas. The varied chemical composition of the waters and their phrmacological actions afford the possibility of undergoing, within the same building, ramarkably effective thermal treatments for numerous and diverse diseases. At Castellammare di Stabia, where holiday means health, the waters, besides being taken as a drink, are succesfully employed for tub and mud baths, for inhalations and for beuty tratment of the skin.
Stabiae è terra dal cuore antico (osca, sannitica, etrusca, greca, romana). Forse il suo nome vuol dire "fermata, sosta, stazione": e allora qui è davvero luogo di delizie da millenni. Gli Scavi Archeologici (che hanno riportato alla luce ville romane di grande eleganza ed imponenza) ed il Museo Stabiano testimoniano la storica importanza della località, che fu sepolta, insieme ad Ercolano e Pompei, dall'eruzione del vesuvio del 79 d.c.
Costiera Amalfitana
Known as the Pearl of the Amalfi Coast, Positano charms millions of tourists every year with its amazing views. The houses cascading down the hillside, the tiny streets, the buildings’ grand entrances, the many steps and the wonderful beach make this an unmissable place.
Following the windy road, passing through many small communities, we arrive in Amalfi. The oldest of the Italian Marine Towns is rich in medieval architecture and has evidence of some precious art work such as the Cathedral and the Cloisters of Paradise.
Also not to be missed are the breathtaking views from Ravello, looking over Maiori and Minori. An enchanted town where the sumptuous villas and gardens have inspired many famous people such as Giovanni Boccaccio, Richard Wagner and Gore Vidal.
Sorrento
Sorrento is a small city in Campania, Italy, with some 16,500 inhabitants. It is a popular tourist destination. The town can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii, as it lies at the south-eastern end of the Circumvesuviana rail line. The town overlooks the bay of Naples, as the key place of the Sorrentine Peninsula, and many viewpoints in the city allow sight of Naples itself (visible across the bay), Vesuvius and the island of Capri..
