Other towns nearby

Pompeii and Herculaneum

Visit the cities frozen in time just outside of Naples, as they were preserved under the ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Even though Herculaneum may be lesser known, it is far better preserved.

Sorrento

Don't forget about the Northern part of the peninsula, with a visit to Sorrento! Check out the port, explore the shops and enjoy a dish of pasta served out of a lemon at L'Antica Trattoria - an annual dinner favorite of Caty and Griffin.

Capri

Take a ferry or boat ride out to the Island of Capri, cruise through the Faraglioni (archway in the rocks), walk and shop around the beautiful island town, visit the Blue Grotto and stop by a beach club!
