Cheap holidays to Neapolitan Riviera, Italy

Take a trip back in time with cheap holidays to the Neapolitan Riviera. Sometimes referred to as the Italian Riviera, this scenic area features dramatic and rugged coastline and strikingly picturesque towns, overlooking Ischia and Capri. The plunging mountainous coastline, shaped by volcanoes, is a fertile producer of citrus fruits, olive trees and grapevines. The lemons are used in the production of limoncello liqueur, and the other local tipples of choice are some consistently pleasing white wines. Along with the regional speciality of fresh fish, the Neapolitan Riviera delivers some real gastronomic treats. Other feasts for the senses include the ruins of Pompeii, excavated from beneath the volcanic ash of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed the town two millenia ago. Alternatively, go and study the Roman mosaics preserved by the same volcanic eruption in the nearby Herculaneum. Walking through these areas, preserved for so long by what nearly destroyed them, is like stepping back into ancient Rome. Snapping back to the modern day, a trip to nearby Naples provides all the cosmopolitan delights of a city that is one of the largest in Italy, and renowned for architecture, art, and literature. With so many amazing locations within easy travelling distance, a trip to the Neapolitan Riviera has all the attractions that one could want in a holiday.
