Product Description
Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. Cadogan explores the home of pizza, seeking out the pleasures of chic Positano and the Amalfi Coast, where Mount Vesuvius towers over the fantasy garden frescoes of Pompeii; the ravishing landscape of Capri; and vibrant Naples, with its world-famous restaurants and nightlife. Aside from the bright lights of the islands and the coast, the guide covers the inland regions of Southern Italy the casual tourist rarely sees: the mountain plateaux of rugged Calabria, Puglia, with its flavors of Greece and Africa, and remote Basilicata, the province of Matera, made a World Heritage Site for its astonishing neighborhoods of cave homes.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully covers a little known region, Sep 12 2009
By Tea Time "Tea Time" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bay of Naples & Southern Italy, 7th (Paperback)
Cadogan Guides are my favorites for really detailed and reliable information about places I plan to visit and this guide is no exception. This book provides everything I want to know about a region that is often overlooked by tourists and travel-guide publishers. Written in 2007, the information contains recommendations for lodging and dining as well as good descriptions of the "don't miss" places in each area. There is also a detailed history of the region.

Not very thorough, April 26 2010
By Valerie Schneider "thetravelchick" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bay of Naples & Southern Italy, 7th (Paperback)
If you're looking for information on Naples, the Amalfi Coast or Sicily, maybe this book will be helpful. If, like me, you want coverage for other regions, such as Calabria and Basilicata, look elsewhere. Twelve measly pages are devoted to Basilicata; Calabria garners a few more (but still precious few). Cliches and half-truths devalue these regions ("backwards" and "unwelcoming"). This guide gives a very superficial treatment of these less-touristed areas and focus very heavily on those covered ad nauseum. It's a shame. They could have done a great service but opted to skirt these regions like the rest of the guidebooks.
