Naples, capital of the province and the region Campania, is the third most
populated city in Italy (after Rome and Milan) with over a million inhabitants
and is the most important industrial centre and trading port for the South part
of the country.
The city is located the Bay of Naples (an arm of the Tyrrhenian Sea), between the impressive volcano Vesuvius and the Phlegrean Fields and it enjoys a wonderful Mediterranean climate. The bay of Naples extends from Cape Misena in the north to the Sorrento peninsula in the south and is completely covered with towns and villas. Near its entrance are the beautiful and very popular islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida.
Naples is a city with a long and sometimes chaotic history: according to the myth, it was founded by the mermaid Parthenope, who washed up on a rock here, heartbroken after failing to charm Odysseus.
The first inhabitants of the area were the Aegean Greek sailors who arrived around 470 BC. Since then, Naples has known Romans, Normans, Saracens, Angevins, Napoleonic French and Bourbon Spanish. All of them left their own mark on the city’s art, architecture, local dialect, cuisine and way of life.
Especially the Neapolitan cuisine is famous worldwide and amazingly rich with extraordinary dishes: mozzarella, spaghetti and pizza, are really the best you can taste anywhere. More particular are the "timballo di maccheroni" (macaroni cooked in a mould), "zuppa di soffritto" (fried soup) and the "pasta ammiscata", a popular soup made by mixing up the leftovers of different kinds of pasta. Its seafood specialities are also great: "impepata di cozze" (spicy mussels), mixed seafood salads and a really vast selection of spaghetti served with various seafood sauces. Classical desserts include the "pastiera" (a cake made with sweet pastry and ricotta cheese) and the unique babà.
Today, Naples is a crowded and lively city, famous for its songs full of passion, coloured festivals, and folklore. Really interesting parts of the city are the Old Spacca Quarter (the heart of Old Naples) and the seaside Santa Lucia sector.

Reviews Naples

Overall rating 8
Overall Guide :
Naples is not to be seen but to be lived. I recommend going to Napoli Sotterranea (underground Naples) and seeing the alleys that hide many beauties. Don't miss the San Severo Chapel with the Veiled Christ and more. Go there... more and you won't regret it. Don't pay any attention to stereotypes.

Overall rating 10
Overall Guide :
It's a magical city, it's impossible not to love it. To stay safe in Naples avoid wearing jewellery. Don't go there if you don't love chaos. The Neapolitans are very helpful and fun. In addition to all the art, don't... more miss the legendary pizza with pickle.

Overall Guide :
Never rely on travel agencies, you can organise your trip much better by yourself. Visit the old town and especially the local markets ... it's really a lot of fun ... the specialities are pizza and Gragnano wine, cask wine... more which you can get buy from the cellar.

Overall Guide :
Fantastic, according to me, it's unique, rich in history, art and culture that come together within a breathtaking backdrop. The longer you spend there, the less you want to leave it. Smells, tastes, traditions and hospitality make Naples a charming... more city.
