AST recommends the Amalfi Coast as a base to explore Campania.  Enjoy the views from a cliffside villa and take day trips to the ruins of Pompeii, Paestum and Herculaneum; the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida; and the sights of Naples and Sorrento.  Taste the local specialties--wines, seafood and buffalo-milk mozzarella.
