One week in Naples & around | Plan
Seven days without hating rushed tourism: city, ruins or volcano, an island or a slice of Coast, and a slow Naples ending.
The route near Napoli (Naples area)
A week is the minimum not to turn the trip into a relay race. Days 1–2: Naples only. Days 3–4: Pompeii and/or Vesuvius or the Phlegraean Fields. Days 5–6: water — Capri, Procida or Sorrento/Coast. Day 7: slow close.
Sleep in Naples as base. Alternate heavy and light days. Check ferries the night before, not in a panic at the port.

Pompeii and Capri same day?
