Napoli/Italy travel tips
Dear mates,
As part of my honeymoon, I'll be going with my future wife on mid June to Napoli/Italy for 1 week. Do you recommend places to visit in Napoli and around Napoli (the gulf of Napoli). We like nature and history and good food and we are not really museum fans. And do you recommend a budget hotel/apartment to stay in either in Napoli itself or in a location from where it'll be possible to cover Napoli and its gulf. Any recommendations or tips in general for Napoli since it seems to be a wild place –which is something we like- are valuably appreciated. We appreciate as well safety tips since safety seems to be an issue in this part of Italy! Thanks very much in advance, Tehiro |

Naples and the surrounding urban sprawl is huge, 3 million inhabitants.

Napoli/Italy travel tips
Tehiro,
Any recommendations or tips in general for Napoli since it seems to be a wild place -which is something we like- are valuably appreciated. We appreciate as well safety tips since safety seems to be an issue in this part of Italy! We really liked the town of Positano, with the buildings built into the mountain, views of the water, etc. Positano is somewhat near Sorrento (IIRC) and along the Amalfi Coast. Gorgeous area. Probably no more than about 30 mins from Naples max. FYI: Don't underestimate how shabby Naples can be in some sections. We did not stay in Naples, but drove through it, and some places we saw were really run-down. Yes, of course, any city with 1 million inhabitants will have run down sections. The question, of course, how many places have 1 million people AND had an unemployment rate of 42.7% ?? This is from 1994, admittedly, which is a full ten years ago. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dpu-projects/Gl...pdfs/Naple.pdf has an interesting report, if interested. Pompeii was cool to see, especially the amphitheatre, very nice. Be prepared for alot of walking, its tough on the feet and ankles. Wear comfortable shoes/clothes that you don't mind getting dusty. Thanks very much in advance, Tehiro Hope this helps, Keith Pittsburgh |

Napoli/Italy travel tips
Dear mates,
Thnx for all valuable info in the contributions. It seems we'll base ourselves in Naples an from there discover it and discover the interesting places around it that you recommended. So far I found 1 hotel in Naples that seem to be OK and not expensive (80 Euro or less for a double room/night) with bathroom and air-con: Hotel San Paolo, Via Terracina 159. Has any one stayed in this hotel? do you recommend it? or do you recommend other hotels/apartments that cost 80 Euro for a double rooom per/night or less with bathroom and air-con? Thnx again, Tehiro |

Napoli/Italy travel tips
Tehiro,
I don't know about this hotel, but I wouldn't give you as advise to stay in via Terracina: it's very very far from center and far from everything, not interesting at all in itself and uneasy to reach with public transports, only slow rare buses. You should search for accomodations near to subway and/or funicolare, which are the fastest and more affordable way to move in Naples; now I know there are many B& B in the very centre or Vomero hill, which is a nice area too. I'm sorry I don't know any, but it shoudln't be difficult with Google or something like that.

I am visiting Naples also, and we have reserved a double room at the youth
hostel in Mergellina. AT only 32 Euro per night if you are REALLY on a budget it is very good. I'm not sure I would do this for my honeymoon, though. -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |
