Blue Guide Southern Italy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781905131181)

SPECIAL REPRINT EDITION: Blue Guide Southern Italy 2007, OF WHICH THIS IS A REPRINT. Southern Italy is a major visitor destination with a wealth of sights on offer: the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the island of Capri, the wild scenery of the Abruzzo, beautiful villages of the Ionian coast, Romanesque architecture in Puglia, and of course Naples and the Amalfi Coast. The author is long-time Blue Guides author and Italy resident Paul Blanchard, an experienced tour guide, who reveals not only the major attractions, explained and set in context, but also uncovers lesser-known sights. He has been supported by the classicists and art historians of the Blue Guides editorial board with the result that Blue Guide Southern Italy, with its wealth of cultural detail and useful advice on hotels and restaurants, provides all the information that the independent traveller needs.
