Top 5 Reasons to Go

Top 5 Reasons to Go

1. Anacapri's Siren Heights: Be nice to the bus driver when you take the precipitously steep road up to Capri's bluff-top village, 1,080 feet above the Bay of Naples.

2. Marina di Corricella, Procida: This rainbow-hue, horizontal version of Positano will have you reaching for your paintbrush.

3. Villa Cimbrone, Ravello: No one should miss the spellbinding gardens of this villa, whose roses once warmed Greta Garbo's chilly heart.

4. Amalfi, City of the Sea Doges: Offering a dazzling layer cake of civilizations—Norman, Saracen, and Arab-Sicilian—this medieval city is so picturesque it will practically click your camera for you.

5. Grecian Glory: With some of the best preserved of ancient architectural monuments, not excepting Greece itself, Paestum has three sublime temples sitting side by side.
