Amalfi Coast & Pompeii
Tools for a More Memorable Trip!
Naples may not be the most attractive city in Italy over recent years but the surrounding of the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, and islands like Capri literally couldn’t draw more crowds. Reuters reports that 2.5 million tourists visit the Pompeii archeological site each year making it one of the most visited in Italy. About double that, 5 million people, visit the Amalfi Coast each year. That is a lot considering the local population of the Amalfi Coast is just over 5,000 residents, one per every hundred visitors, and they do a terrific job.

Tips for Visiting Pompeii
Pompeii and Herculaneum are among the world’s best-preserved archeological sites. They have both uncovered so much about the ancient Roman civilization which was due to the dark reason these cities ceased to exist instantly. The area has been a hot spot for visitors since the Grand Tour of Europe and at one point caused Naples to be Italy’s most desirable city. Today, Pompeii has been almost fully excavated which is the reason it attracts over 2.5 million travelers annually.
