Campania has an efficient public transit system that is called Campania Unico. The tickets are based on a zone system that radiates out from Naples. Trains and buses link the major cities and smaller towns to Naples and Salerno, and onwards to Rome and other major cities throughout Italy. The Amalfi coast has an easy and cheap public bus system that runs along the steep shoreline through all of the small coastal towns. Consider taking this bus instead of hiring a car or booking a bus tour if you want more freedom to explore on a budget. The Circumvesuviana is a local private train that connects the area near Mount Vesuvius between Naples and Sorrento. It is one of your best options for travel between Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius.

Make sure you purchase the real deal, which has a wrapper that has the symbol of the protection consortium which guarantees that it is authentic and from local geographic origin. This mozzarella dates back to the 12th century and is made from water buffalo milk. It has a very delicate flavor and a firm, but slightly elastic consistency.
Another local specialty is, of course, pizza. Naples is the famed birthplace of pizza, where it was created in honor of Queen Margaret. Pizza in Naples is like no other. It is best to find a local restaurant and sample the best pizza around. It is made with simple but fresh ingredients and will not disappoint.
Many hotels provide breakfast at no additional cost, while others charge extra. The quality and price can vary widely from hotel to hotel. Knowing this ahead of time can help you decide if you should budget more. You might find the hotel's buffet is a worthwhile investment, or perhaps a nearby bakery or cafe could be a cheaper alternative.
Pack a water bottle to avoid buying drinks on the go. Plus, it's beneficial for the planet.
Thinking about a tour? Check which meals are included beforehand. You might need to budget for some meals on your own, which can add to your expenses.

Traveling in Campania
Positano
Campania is the southwestern region of Italy encompassing the Amalfi coast, Naples, Salerno, Pompeii, and many more of the most popular destinations in Italy. A rugged and mountainous region, Campania is known for its beautiful yet expensive coastline with clear blue water, amazing food, and rich cultural history. Agriculture is one of the main industries in the region, and lemons grow in abundance. Limoncello and Crema di limone have become very popular and tasty drinks for locals and tourists alike. The Amalfi coast is perhaps the most highly regarded area for tourists, although other nearby areas host similar experiences for a much lower cost. The coastline around Naples, for example, tends to be cheaper. The islands of Capri and Ischia offer unique and stunning resort-like atmospheres with an Italian feel, but for a hefty price. Outside of Naples, visitors can find Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient archeological sites made famous by their "frozen in time" remains from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
Regions
Campania covers an area of more than 13,000 square kilometers and has a coastline of 350 kilometers that runs along the Tyrrhenian Sea. It has many gulfs and three islands.
