Naples, Capri, Pompeji and the Amalfi coast
Capri is crap even though there are some treasures to see but the mass of tourists who invade the island is incredible. The island is worldwide famous and it is a klichée to go there. I say: Please go a head! I stay in authentic Naples!
Napels is very cool and a real treasure for individual travelers who don’t want to see tourists. This is an unusual phenomenon in Europe so I enjoyed it very much.
The only draw-back: The Kamora Mafia rules the city. So "only” 850 Euro was withdrawn from my account due to high tech thieves who specialize in copying your credit card at the cash machine. Well, they are welcomed to frighten the tourists. Despite the unauthorized cash withdrawal I love Napoli anyway. Nowhere else could I wonder around in a big city and enjoy real life and only see Napoli inhabitants.
Pompeji is worth a visit and very interesting. You can´t see everything within a couple of hours but I had enough after 2-3 hours and knew the whole story afterwards. Good trip 30 min outside Naples.
One of the most beautiful coasts in the world is without doubts Amalfi. We visited Positano and Amalfi town. It is romantic, picturesque and stunning! Even though it is rather touristy but you can walk around in small side streets, climb up the hill and relax in a cozy restaurant with see view.
The best way to discover Amalfi is by boat. On the trip back to Naples I was so amazed about the fairytale look-a-like-landscape and the high mountain range raising up from the coast with the sun setting, the ambiance is so romantic that a couple about to divorce will forget their problems!
