About Napoli
Naples is a volcanic, chaotic and irresistible city. Overlooking the gulf with Vesuvius in the background, it offers one of Italy's most celebrated cuisines, a UNESCO World Heritage historic centre and direct access to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and the gulf islands. From Genoa it's just over an hour's flight.
