Established by Etruscans and Greeks, some of the most revealing Roman ruins are found in Campania, particularly Naples and Paestum. Through the chaos of poverty, crime, and unemployment, Naples, the centerpiece of the region, offers an boisterous charm that's hard to resist. Breathtaking views of the Amalfi coastline and the imposing figure of Vesuvius provide this region with unforgettable scenery.
