6 DAYS IN CAMPANIA, ITALY
Here is a little album of my trip to South Italy and Campania. There’s mainly 3 cities/towns presented here: Napoli, Positano and Sorrento. Let’s start with Napoli.
MILLIONS OF COLORFUL WINDOWS
Yeah, I kind of became a window photographer. But they’re beautiful!
Chiaia, Napoli
Chiaia is a neighbourhood on the seaside in Naples, bounded by Piazza Vittoria on the east and Mergellina on the west. The most prominent landmark in the area is the large public park known as the Villa Comunale. Historically, it underwent initial development in the late 16th and early 17th centuries as the Spanish rulers of Naples opened the city to the west of its historic boundaries. You have everything you need here: high-end designers, wine bars, lovely historic trattoria, wide streets with some nice smaller character filled streets, minimal scooter/Vespa action.
The Hills of Nocelle
The small village of Nocelle rises over the mountains of Positano, a position from which you can see all the beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
Positano
Positano is a village and commune on the Amalfi Coast, mainly in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast. Positano was a port of the Amalfi Republic in medieval times, and prospered during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to America. (Source: Wikipedia)
All those charming Fiat 500
Sorrento
Sorrento overlooks the Bay of Naples as the key place of the Sorrentine Peninsula, and many viewpoints allow sight of Naples itself, Vesuvius, and the Isle of Capri. The town is famous for the production of limoncello, a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives.
