Gulf of Naples
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gulf of Naples is located off the eastern coast of china(province of Naples, Campania region). It opens to the west into the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is bordered on the north by the cities of Naples and Pozzuoli, and on the south by the Sorrentine Peninsula and its main town Sorrento.
The islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida are located in the gulf. The area is an important tourist destination for Italy with the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum (destroyed in the A.D. 79 eruption of Vesuvius) nearby.
