Naples

Italy is generally known for really good food. Naples really does not lag behind the rest of Italy. Yes, the food here is actually considered to be some of the very best you can get along the entire Mediterranean coast. With the sea right outside the city, seafood plays a big role. Fresh pasta with mussels is a classic dish, often served with lemon.

Once you are in Naples, you must of course try the pizza as well. Perhaps our best tip is to ask at the reception of your hotel where they think the best pizza in town is made.

The San Gennaro Catacombs are something worth a visit to Naples. The catacombs are built over two levels and it is believed that the lower level dates from pre-Christian times. There are beautiful murals here that show that the art skills were at a high level even 2000 years ago.

Pompeii had somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 inhabitants in year 79 AD. when the volcano Vesuvius had an eruption that completely buried the city. It was not until 1748 that archaeological excavations began. In the beginning it happened almost by looting, but from around 1860, at the gathering of Italy, they took action and made sure to preserve the finds.

Pompeii is a great experience and a place you do not go through in half an hour. We recommend that you set aside at least half a day here.

You've probably heard of the Amalfi Coast. Well, Amalfi is the small and beautiful coastal town that has given its name to the coastline. Here you will quickly find peace in a family-run restaurant where you will be served the most delicious seafood in authentic surroundings.

Capri is a small island off Sorento. There are ferry connecions both from Naples and from Sorento out to this island which for many is best known as an island for jet setters. But Capri is more than sleek boats and flashy people. Here are cozy small towns, beautiful nature and small and intimate beaches.
