We actulay stayed on the Amifi...
by Bob_H
We actulay stayed on the Amifi Coast in Vico Esquine and had a great time. Took the local train to vist places like Pompai, Sorrento,ect.
We avoided Naples because of the Crime Warnings. A boat trip around Capri with a stop at the Blue Grotto,
It was a little expensive thou and I felt that when the boatman at the Blue Grotto demanded a large Tip, he had gone to far. We thanked him and got back on our other boat.
That captain was much better and was very informative and him we tipped.
Pozzuoli Amphitheatre
by Wowmoment
Pozzuoli can easily be reached from Naples. Take the Ferrovia Cumana from Montesanto terminus and get off at Pozzuoli station.
After a brief walk around a pretty harbour we followed signs to the Anfiteatro. This was something of a mistake as the route was marked for cars, and although we arrived eventually there were quicker, but steeper routes.
The Amphitheatre itself seems fairly ordinary on the surface and is somewhat spoiled by recent additions of modern seating. Underground however it is spectacular and you can almost hear the sounds of the diabolical practices (to our minds) that were carried on here.
Don't go there!
by nanoktom about Trattoria Ristorante Medina
The above restaurant is probably the worst I've ever been to in the whole of Italy. Not only they single you out as a stupid tourist and give you the 'special' menu with the extra high prices, they will also serve you some of the worst food the italian cuisine (if one can call it so...) has on offer. A definite no-go in Naples! Definitely no favorites here...
Pompeii by night
by spicysurfer
At the firts glance it seems to be dark and dangerous. But by the way of the visit, it begin to became astonishing. Under the lights the town seem to born again. You can really see the people living here and working and go back to their houses. I wanted to stay there all the night, but it was impossible. Every tourist (and neapolitan) must live this experience.
il Duomo di San Gennaro
by MM212
Dedicated to the patron saint of the city, San Gennaro, the cathedral of Naples was constructed in the 13th-14th centuries on the orders of Carlo I d'Angiò, King of Naples and Sicily, known in English as Charles I of Anjou. The chosen site was just outside la Basilica di Santa Restituta, the oldest church in the city, which resulted in the fusion of the two structures, along with the ancient Baptistry (Battistero di San Giovanni in Fonte), into one cathedral. Successive additions and renovations over the centuries, including the construction of the Capella di San Gennaro in the 17th century, have resulted in a cathedral complex composed of three churches, mixing multiple architectural styles, from Paleo-Christian to Gothic to Baroque, not to mention the Roman columns that decorate the sides of the large pillars. The neo-Gothic façade was only added in the late 19th century (designed by the architect, Errico Alvino) but incorporated impressive 14th century doors.
