Verzonden op

Driving: while you may find it tempting to pick up a car at Naples airport to explore this fascinating area, it will prove nothing but a liability in the city. Locations on the Bay of Naples are accessible by frequent trains. And while the Amalfi Coast is made for motoring, not all of us are lucky enough to possess the Italian driving gene. Regular buses provide a low-cost alternative – and free you up to enjoy the view.
High summer:July and (especially) August are good times not to be in the Bay of Naples region. While traffic in the city centre subsides, many enterprises catering for locals will be closed. The heat this far south is intense. And at key sites such as Pompeii, the crowds can be overwhelming.
