Away from the coast Campania's appeal fades. The interior is a poor and remote region that few tourists visit - quite different from the populous and much-lauded coast. Large towns are few, travel can be slow and unless you're spending a long time in the area, or are an enthusiast for obscure ancient sites, there's not much of interest anyway. What places there are that might appeal - the royal palace at Caserta , the Roman amphitheatre at Capua , the ancient town of Benevento - are best seen on a day-trip from Naples. The south of the region, on the other hand, holds some of Campania's real gems. The glittering Amalfi coast is as spectacular a bit of shoreline as Italy has to offer, and worth a visit for just that, though you may find the tourist presence in high season a bit offputting. Salerno , at the far end of this stretch, is a genial working port and a jumping-off spot for the less-developed Cilento coast that stretches all the way to the border with Basilicata. Inland from here is also very undeveloped and difficult to reach without your own car. But it can be a rewarding area, its high hills and valleys sheltering some unspoilt routes and villages.
