Neapolitan Riviera Holidays

If you're looking for a holiday to Italy but are looking to go beyond the well-known locales of Rome and Florence, a holiday in the Neapolitan Riviera will be an ideal choice. Situated in the wonderful bay of Naples, the Neapolitan Riviera offers typically fantastic food and drink, hospitable locals and amazing scenery, ensuring that this is a holiday destination that can be enjoyed by everyone whatever their age.

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.
