3.0 out of 5 stars
A lot of Naples, not a lot of Amalfi,
By Stephen Tao (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Naples (Paperback)
Although the section on Naples is extensive, the section on the Amalfi and Sorrento Coasts is disappointingly slim. There is scant information on how to get there and what to do there, given how popular these locations are with tourists. Also, the book (and most of the Eyewitness series) surprisingly doesn't include any relevant websites for further research. The pictures are great, as always, and the layout of the book is terrific, but disappointingly behind the times.

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Naples (Paperback)
The Eyewitness guides are always the best available for any destination...nothing comparable. You can create your own tours with these guides.
