Campania (Italian pronunciation: [kamˈpaːnja]) is a region in Southern Italy. As of 2014, the region had a population of around 5,869,000 people, making it the third-most-populous region of Italy; its total area of 13,590 km (5,247 sq mi) makes it the most densely populated region in the country. Located on the Italian Peninsula, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west, it includes the small Phlegraean Islands and Capri for administration as part of the region.

Monte Solaro

From Piazza della Vittoria you can take a breathtaking chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro, the highest point on Capri at 1,932 feet.

Reviewed By B1363DEsimonb - London, United Kingdom

If you’re in Anacapri you must go on the chairlift and visit the mountain peak - if you are in Capri for more than a day it’s also easy to get to by bus from the Marina or Main Square. The views across the whole island are simply stunning, and reached by single seat chairlift which climbs the mountain. It’s so peaceful and calm and a wonderful experience (unless you have vertigo - it might not be for you!). You get to the top on arrival the views are breathtaking. You can see the whole island across to the mainland and even over to Mount Vesuvius. The return trip is well worth the €12 - I didn’t see the stairs or how you’d actually make the journey back down again....

I Faraglioni

The extraordinary and rugged beauty of Capri is signified by these timeless rock formations jutting from the sea.

Reviewed By Bidule005 - France, null

From the Arco naturale, we hiked to villa Malaparte and to Faraglioni de Capri, which are 3 iconic rocky peaks of the island. Their name comes directly from the geological term “faraglione”, meaning “rocky mass detached from the coast by erosion”. We were amazed by: - the Faraglione di Terra the highest (109 meters), which is still attached to the island - Faraglione di Mezzo (81 meters), which is crossed by a natural arch - Faraglione di Fuori (104 meters), which is the furthest from the coast - Scoglio del Monacone, which is more distant and whose name comes from the presence of monk seals, in older times. Altogether, I highly Recommend to hike to Faraglioni de Capri! Unfonrtunately, because we only spent one day in Capri, we had not time to go to Faraglioni using motor boat to have wonderful viewpoints on Faraglioni. I’ll come back!

Villa Cimbrone Gardens

Reviewed By lassie64

possibly the nicest thing to do whilst up in ravello. entrance is 7 euros pp and you get to walk around the large gardens and take in the flowers and statues and sculptures etc. best bit is the infinity terrace with amazing views over the amalfi coastline both ways.

Monte Epomeo

Reviewed By NiclasV21

It seems like most take the bus and then walk a couple of kilometers up to the top, firstly by a small road and the last bit by the trail. We took the long hike from Casamicciola and the shorter hike but still by trail back to the same starting point, giving us a nice daytrip of just under 6 hours, and also 13 kilometers of hiking through stunning scenery with spectacular views. The Restaurant on the top is a good place with an awesome view and a good break for coffee and something to eat. We took it kind of slow going up since we had a first time hiker with us.

Giardini Ravino

This year, among the highlights of new openings in Ischia, we recommend an original garden worth visiting. Open only a few days a week, the garden offers a fascinating walk through a variety of exotic and local vegetation. On display, among water streams, is an impressive collection of cacti and other plants that look like natural sculptures - a collection gathered over 30 years which is a must see for any any garden fan.

I loved this garden. Though small in area, it makes the maximum use of space and different levels to show off an amazing variety of different cactus plants. You don't even have to be a cactus fan to enjoy it, the place is artistic and just a pleasure to explore. Right at the centre is a whitewashed building that used to be little old winery, but now acts as the cafe / restaurant. It's a really nice place to relax, on a terrace with quirky wooden furniture and sun canopies - slightly bohemian. Peacocks strut around freely, being noisy but amusing show-offs. We had a simple tasty lunch of Linguini Al Lemone - a little hand written sign in the cafe said the lemons used were picked from the garden. It's perfectly possible to walk to Giardini Ravino from Forio town. Head along the coast road towards the Poseiden thermal resort but turn uphill past the "Lovers Rocks" (Google maps will guide you.) The last bit of the walk is fairly steep, but not a problem unless its terribly hot.
