In fact, they are part of the most geo-localized places in Campania on Instagram during the summer and this happens precisely because over time they have now gained the reputation of "places in".
Positano, the most famous town on the coast

Descending calmly towards the sea you will come across many historic shops full of vintage objects and artisans ready to sell you their handmade shoes, typical of the country. There are also stalls full of unique necklaces and jewels, also sold directly by their creators.
The country always hosts exhibitions and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, I therefore recommend that you inquire before going there so as not to risk missing out on something interesting.

Capri, the most beautiful island in Campania
