About Naples

The adventure continues through Amalfi and Ravello’s cultural gems and concludes in the underexplored coastal gem of Salerno.

My Experience
Exploring Naples was like stepping into a vibrant museum from ancient streets to underground tunnels. Pompeii was a haunting yet awe-inspiring glimpse into the past. Sorrento welcomed us with warmth and cliffside views. Capri, with its Blue Grotto and scenic hikes, was simply magical. Positano felt like a postcard come to life, while Ravello's gardens offered quiet reflection. Salerno surprised us with its laid-back vibe and seafront beauty. Every day offered new sights, flavours, and unforgettable moments.
