Naples remains an ' authentic' destination; one where you can eat and sleep at reasonable prices, where bars and cafes are more populated by locals than visitors. It' s superbly positioned too with Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum inland, not forgetting the incredible Amalfi coast and the region of Campania to explore. There are also very good ferry routes out to Sicily and the islands of Ischia, with the luxury island of Capri just offshore. The relentless al-fresco activity makes the streets of Naples more akin to an Arab souk than a European boulevard ? but it' s incredibly exhilarating too.
