Weather

If you feel like a holiday to the Neapolitan Riviera in the peak months of July and August then prepare for a sunshine break to remember, as temperatures will reach an average of around 28° Celsius. With ten hours of sunshine a day, you'll be more than ready to soak up the sun on the glorious beaches when there is very little chance of rain. However, you'll still be perfectly able to enjoy good weather outside of these times; if you're not much of a sun lover, then exploring the delights of Mount Vesuvius in the lower climates, which average in the low 20s, will ensure you enjoy a comfortable and warm break.

Attractions

A holiday in the Neapolitan Riviera will provide you with the chance to unwind like never before, with beachside locales like Sorrento offering a pristine beach to relax on and wonderful town to explore. After that, you'll be more than energised to explore the many delights of Naples; why not take a trip to the historic city of Pompeii, which is an ancient partially ruined city?

After that you'll also be ready to visit Mount Vesuvius, the famous volcano that erupted in AD 79 and destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Still looking for something to do afterwards? Then a visit to the beautiful island of Capri will be the icing on the cake, offering yet more beautiful beaches and cuisines to sample.

What with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, and the destruction of Pompeii, the Neapolitan Riviera will be an awe-inspiring experience for history fans. The town of Pompeii was buried in ash, and was not actually discovered until 1748, a whole 1700 years after it was destroyed. It has since been excavated, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers a unique view of the Roman Empire at its mightiest.
