The Golfo di Napoli (Bay of Naples) holds many of Campania's attractions, including Italy's greatest archaeological sites—Pompeii and Herculaneum—and the city of Naples itself. Geological stepping-stones anchored in the bay, the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida tip the two points of the bay's watery crescent. Just to the south stands the Sorrentine Peninsula, home to 19th-century Sorrento. Then over the Lattari mountains lies the Amalfi Coast, famed for beauty spots like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello.
