Naples Italy
See Naples and die - that's the expression.
I would go on and say - die happy.
Napoli is not for everyone, in my opinion, if Napoli was a woman, she would be proud of who she is - loud, a little dirty, sexy, and has it all!
Starting with food that is like no other, views and architecture in every corner and in every direction you look, amazing people, and a smile that stays with you during your entire stay.
The weather in Naples is Mediterranean and it is comfortable to travel there in almost every season of the year.
I stayed in Naples for about two and a half weeks, I took an Italian course for beginners and it allowed me to get to know the city like a local.
I took an apartment in the Spanish Quarter and it was perfect.
An important point for reaching the Spanish quarter - many taxis do not like to reach it, especially on Saturday night when all the young people of the city gather in the narrow streets.
If you choose this area, ask your host to arrange a taxi to bring you to the apartment.
The food!
After eating the pizza in Naples, it was tough for me to eat it anywhere else.
In one of the restaurants, the waiter proudly described each of the ingredients of the pizza -
- The dough rose for more than fifty hours.
- The fresh tomatoes from the Mount Vesuvius region
- Fresh mozzarella from today...
And as he described, take was also the taste - perfect!
The pasta that looks the simplest, is simply wonderful.
On a rainy day when I asked if there was minestrone, the answer was - if you are willing to wait twenty minutes, you will have soup and so it was.
The aperitivo, the ice cream, the pastries, I could fill a book just about the food and the stories around it.
The recommendation is to take a culinary tour of two or three hours and get to know the places to eat and the city.
And of course - the limoncello! From the trees that decorated the roads on the way to the Amalfi Coast.
I'll stop here, I'm getting hungry...
Naples is wonderful for a visit of two days or two weeks.
It can be used as the starting point for trips to the Amalfi Coast area, to the nearby islands that are reached by ferry from the port.
And of course, the convenient airport which is 20 minutes away from the city center.
If you want to avoid families, heat, and crowding on the roads and sites, don't come in the summer months or on holidays.
If you're into carbs, this is your place...
Enjoy!
