![]() The city comes back to life in the early evening. In the afternoon, Naples' street life slows and many sights close as the temperature soars. That's exhausting, but more memorable than a fourth day in Rome. While Paestum (Greek temples), Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (an ancient Roman site like Pompeii), and the island of Capri are decent options, they are worthwhile only if you give the area more time.įor a blitz tour from Rome, you could have breakfast on the early Rome–Naples express train (about 7:00–9:00), do Naples and Pompeii in a day, and be back in Rome in time for Letterman. ![]() With Sorrento as your sunny springboard, spend a day in Naples, a day exploring the Amalfi Coast, and a day split between Pompeii and the town of Sorrento. ![]() On a quick trip, give the entire area - including Sorrento and Naples - a minimum of three days. Naples is Italy in the extreme - its best (birthplace of pizza and Sophia Loren) and its worst (home of the Camorra, Naples' "family" of organized crime). From the jet-setting island of Capri to the stunning Amalfi towns, from ancient Pompeii to even more ancient Paestum, this is Italy's coast with the most. Serene Sorrento, an hour south of Naples' urban intensity, is a great home base and the gateway to the much-drooled-over Amalfi Coast. Naples Bay rounds out any trip to Italy with an antipasto misto of travel thrills.
