Dreamlike islands with famous grottos and baths and a coastline rich in history: the most beautiful destinations near Naples

Capri and Ischia are world-famous. From Naples, it is only a short hop over to the two islands. Perfect destinations for a week's cruise along the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi Coast to the south. Positano, Amalfi or Salerno and a handful of other mostly small harbour towns are extremely worthwhile destinations.

Photographer and YACHT author Nico Krauss visited what is perhaps Italy's most beautiful sailing area in the off-season. This is when the harbours are still empty, the people are relaxed and the atmosphere is wonderfully laid-back.

The cruise report can now be read in the new YACHT (issue 22/2019, available now in magazine shops and as Digital edition available).
