Cakes and pastries
by Polly74
While walking in Naples, you will inevitably catch sight of the numerous glittering pastry shop windows that can be found lining the city’s streets and squares. You just cannot miss out on tasting one of the typical Neapolitan pastries: babà, usually flavored with rum or limoncello, sfogliatella, struffoli. The pastiera napoletana deserves a special mention: it is a dessert made from wheat and ricotta cheese, flavored with orange blossom essence and has ancient origins.
The story goes that in ancient times it was made to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Then when pagan festivals made room for Christian traditions, the pastiera became the traditional Naples Easter cake.

There are two main ports in Naples: Napoli and Mergellina.
Naples can be reached from the islands quickly by Aliscafi (a twin-hulled ferry). There are several companies offering different times and rates.

Our visit was only for a short time however we were able to quickly get the flavour of this busy city. The area around our hotel had some hills which gave the area character. Many buildings had taken advantage of the hills to gain sea views. From our hotel we had some great inland views.

visit Pompei, stay there for one day, do not forget the museum, you must take a train in fron of the gate, to another site, the detail are all in the information paper which you can get from the gate. and you have no right to just buy the ticket for the ruins, must also buy all the tickets for all the sites there, if you have not enough time, that is quite unfair to you, like us, we did too. but do go to Vesovio. see crater.

If you can, try to buy some napolitan music, or at least try to listen some songs, this music has a very long history and it is part of the city atmospheare.
As for old songs I could reccomend Roberto Murolo Pino Daniele or even better 99 posse.
