Beauty of Naples
flexible dates- planned for you, self guided
Naples may not have the elegance of Florence or the grandeur of Rome yet its beauty is evident as you walk along the "lungomare" with Vesuvius as an imposing neighbor. The piazzas set within the dignified Chiaia neighborhood are the Rome of 30 years ago when the local population still outweighed tourists. The cafes fill up day and night with the rush of a morning caffè or leisurely ritual of the afternoon aperitivo creating a different type of "dolce vita." We’ll help you see the best of the city, whether for one night or a few days.
