Campaign — Between the Sea and the Fire
A journey through Campania will take place from September 30 to October 5: Naples, Vesuvius, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and the island of Capri.
I invite you to Campania. This region of beautiful Italy stands out from many others for its boldness, unpredictability, and chaos. At the same time, it is home to remarkably warm, open, and sociable people. It feels as though life here hangs by a thread: in a short time, you can accomplish an incredible amount—or lose your footing and crash to pieces. Yes, this is what it means to live on a volcano 🙂
The fortress and protector of Campania is rightfully considered the divinely beautiful Amalfi Coast. In the past, many people found refuge and salvation here. Today, enthusiastic tourists wander and travel through the coastal towns, villages, and trails. They come here not for protection, but for enjoyment—for the incredible beauty, light, and sea.
During the journey, we will discover the “soul” of Campania, learn about its rich history, and enjoy its nature while covering kilometers along the region’s most beautiful trails.
