USEFUL GUIDE FOR NAPLES
Where Legends Meet Reality
A popular legend tells that God forgot to create Naples, so Saint Gennaro (the saint of Naples) intervened and warned God. God answered, 'I am already tired, take a piece of heaven and throw it over there.'
Even if this city wasn't as stunning as it is, the vibrant spirit of its people alone would be worth visiting.

Greek mythology speaks of Naples as the island of sirens. Homer's Odyssey, along with other Greek poets, tells the tale of the siren Parthenope, who failed to allure Odysseus and committed suicide due to her pride and despair.
Her body washed ashore on the coast of Naples. The ancient name of Naples was Parthenope, a siren who symbolized the city's beauty, passion, and resilience.

Naples was once the second most crowded city in Europe, after Paris, during the 17th century. It still maintains its vibrant energy, which is immediately perceptible. Naples has a unique culture and heritage as it has always been under the domination of strong kingdoms such as the Greeks, Romans, French, and Spanish. However, Neapolitan laypeople were often ignored by the dominant powers, so I believe this has led them to develop a sort of survival instinct, which is also reflected in the traffic. There are no rules in Naples traffic; the most agile driver gets the road and precedence. Except when they drive, Neapolitans may be the sweetest and most fun people on earth! If you fall down on the street, they will come to help you get up; if you have a sad face, they will try to cheer you up. You will often encounter people singing Neapolitan songs alone. Thanks to these amazing people, Naples is an incredible city, full of life, joy, fun, and exuberance. Neapolitans are known for their passionate approach to life, and this is reflected in their use of the phrase 'cuore e passione' when describing various activities, including cooking. They often infuse their actions with a genuine sense of enthusiasm and heartfelt dedication, making everything they do a labor of love.

Where to Stay in Naples:
A Guide to the Best Neighborhoods and Accommodations
Posillipo Zone, Naples
There are several zones in Naples where you can choose your accommodation:
CHIAIA ZONE: This is a chic and centrally located residential area, considered one of the safer parts of the city. It is situated just behind the "lungomare" seaside walking street and offers plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, and theaters. The famous "baretti" zone comes to life after 8:00 PM every day. The historical center is easily accessible on foot from here.
VOMERO ZONE: Another residential area in central Naples known for its safety and elegance. It is filled with a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops, catering to all your needs. Due to its elevated position on a hill, Vomero is connected to the historical zone and Chiaia zone via funicular.
POSILLIPO ZONE: This is the most exclusive and expensive residential area in Naples, offering breathtaking views. However, since it lacks a central hub, having a car might be necessary to reach tourist attractions, to bars or restaurants. There is a funicular line from Posilippo to Mergellina, the seaside area.
HISTORICAL ZONE: Naples has the largest historical center in Europe, which means you have a variety of options from hotels to b&bs, guesthouses to hostels. In recent years, this area has seen significant development and offers some great quality/price ratio options. As safety can vary in different areas, particularly at night, try to get an accommodation as close as possible to the main attractions. Consider that almost all the historical town is closed to traffic though some areas there is taxi access.
QUARTIERI SPAGNOLI: Hidden behind the bustling Via Toledo, the Spanish Quarters have transformed from once being a dangerous zone, even for locals, into a vibrant part of the city. Its name stems from the temporary Spanish military camp, and the apartments used to serve as simple dormitories. This zone has a unique soul and vibe, thanks to the people who identify themselves as the inhabitants of the "quartieri." There are plenty of attractions to see, and due to its proximity to both the historical center and Chiaia, the fashionable shopping area, it can be a convenient place to stay. However, it is advisable to avoid walking alone at night in isolated parts for safety reasons. In this area, you will find small bed and breakfast establishments, as there are no hotels available.
FUORIGROTTA: Fuorigrotta literally means "outside the tunnel." This neighborhood is situated outside the tunnel that leads out from the modern city center of Mergellina, in the Chiaia zone. Fuorigrotta is a modern neighborhood with limited attractions so unless you find convenient accommodation options, you will not want to stay in this zone. The zone is well connected to the city center with metro, cumana and bus options. It's worth mentioning that the Maradona Stadium is located in this zone. If football is not your main interest, it's advisable to avoid this area during game hours as traffic can be congested.
SANITA: Despite recent improvements, many Neapolitans still hesitate to enter this zone. However, it offers an authentic local atmosphere with its bustling markets, vibrant people, and intriguing legends. One of its notable attractions is the renowned miraculous catacombs.
