Naples
Says the old phrase “See Naples and die”.
The third largest city of Italy and the home to the Camorra, the powerful local mafia. The city has many social problems linked to this fact but this is not sufficient to knock down the Naples charm. It is a city overlooking the Bay of Naples and the Vesuvius, a giant active volcano. The traffic in Naples is chaotic, more chaotic than in most Italian cities, confusion reigns in the historic centre that became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Piazza Plebiscito is the main meeting point of the city, not miss the Cathedral, the church of Santa Chiara, the church of San Lorenzo Maggiore, the Castel Nuovo, the National Archaeological Museum and the San Martino Museum. Naples is the largest city in Campania, an excellent starting point to visit the Amalfi Coast and the beautiful towns of Amalfi, Praiano, Positano and Sorrento. Naples is also close to important historical centers of Pompeii and Herculaneum. From Naples you can get the stunning islands of Capri and Ischia. Hotels in Naples
