off the beaten
by yeah_baby
Ostuni, also known as the White City, reminded me like I've entered Greece.
Found out later Naples was discovered by Greek refugees in 600 BC and their name derives from the Greek Neapolis meaning 'new city'.
The buildings are white and the town brags it has the best unspoiled coastline. Fishing for sea urchin is one of the great past times we did!
Castel Capuano
by ruki
Castel Capuano is a castle in Naples, southern Italy. It takes its name from the fact that it was at that point in the city walls where the road led out to the city of Capua. The castle is at the east end of via dei Tribunali and until recently housed the Naples Hall of Justice, which has now moved to the new Civic Center, the Centro Direzionale
Pizza & Neapolitan Cuisine in Santa Lucia
by MM212 about Trattoria da Ettore
Located on via Santa Lucia, near Piazza Plebiscito and Castel dell'Ovo, Trattoria da Ettore serves authentic Neapolitan cuisine including delicious pizzas. The relatively small restaurant has outdoor seating for better weather. This is a great place for lunch when visiting Plebiscito area and Castel dell'Uovo, or come here for dinner. You won't be disappointed.
Central Square
by Beograd
This is a central square, I am only sorry that I didn't have the official guide to explane everything. Across this unique building that reminded me of the White House is the Opera House.
As you, probably, can see in the back are a few buildings painted in dark red and gray. Those are colors of Naples.
VESUVIUS
by ruki
Vesuvius is the only active volcano in continental Europe. From the top you have a amazing view of hole Naples. If you are plannig to climb on this volcano I must to disappointed you because it not possible to climb afoot, only by buses or jeeps. The last 200 meteres you will able to climb right on the top.
It have shape like bowl with big and deep hole in the middle. The volcano looks like volcanos in some movie. On some parts of the whelps you can see smoke.
In the it’s far history this volcano had abolished towns such as Pompei and Herculaneum.
After the last eruption in 1944, a vast crater was formed at the peak, covered with ash, and the plume of smoke which had become part of the classic imagery of Vesuvius disappeared.
If you are in Naples dont miss to visit Vesuvius.
