A walk through Naples along with a tasting is a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture and flavor of the city. You can stay here overnight to admire the great volcano Vesuvio over a cappuccino during breakfast and gain strength before visiting the next Great Place of Italy and the whole Earth - Pompei, or you can directly head to the Amalfi coast to visit Amalfi, Ravello and Positano with our travel guide.
