Italy could almost be two countries: the rich, industrial, stylish north and the dry, rural, traditional south; it could be four with the distinct islands of Sardinia and Sicily both proud of their unique traditions and separate histories. Travel to any one of these and there will not be enough time to experience every aspect; travel to all and the experience is something akin to travelling through time itself.

Below, the towns around Naples and Capri offer dramatic coastlines and popular holiday destinations.
