On quite a hot afternoon we decided to find some freshness down under the city and we took a tour (in Italian we both speak French which is quite similar so we understood most of the comments) in the catacombs. The visit was an hour and a half long starting from the 18th century waste water system, it went on through a former WW2 shelters and an ancient Greek water reserve discovered at the end of a very narrow and humid corridor at the light of the candles we and our group carried, this was educational even though a bit disappointing as no mummies were on sight. The visit finished up outside the caves back on the street of Naples were we were invited in a traditional Neapolitan town house to discover in its basement a very well preserved Roman theatre, this was absolutely amazing to see. |

You can get a boat from Naples to Capri and it costs €30 return. When you get to Capri’s marina you can reach the main town by cable train or walking. Capri retains it unspoiled charm with grand villas and overgrown lemon & orange trees. You can go for a walk in the picturesque streets with some of most famous designer shops; they are all there Italian & French. If you go to Capri have your credit card ready or maybe you shouldn’t!!! |

Pompei You can get there either by bus or by train (45 minutes from Naples), they are both regular and relatively cheap. The entry to the site will cost you €11(this would pay for a lot of ice-cream) but it really would be a pity not to visit the city that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption 2000 years ago while visiting Naples. You will walk through the original shopping area where the shops seem to have been just closed for the weekend. You will visit the rich Patrician’s villas superbly decorated with the most elaborate mosaics and to finish up, you can walk on the tracks of the gladiators who fought there when Ireland was still Hibernia. |

Amazing trip back in time in ancient Pompeii, and a fascinating insight into life circa 60AD. Can be done as a day trip, or overnight trip, from Rome, and is certainly well worth it. You can spend hours wandering it's remarkably well preserved streets, villas and amphitheatres. |

Shopping, Naples is a great for shopping whether it’s up market & expensive or cheap & Cheerful. If you are after the top designer boutiques then have a stroll up Chiaia’s Via Calabritto a pedestrian street were you can flash your credit card at Armani and many other designer shops. You can find some “made in Italy” high street fashion in stores on Via dei Mille and Via G Filangieri. |

Victim of probably the most famous volcano eruption ever, Pompeii has to be seen to be believed. As you wander around the streets of the ancient city, it is hard to fathom that it was once completely buried. Highlights of Italy's number one tourist attraction include Teatro Grande and Anfiteatro. |
