Instead of stopping at Pompeii, you could pause at Naples to wander through the narrow alleyways of the Spaccanapoli, one of Naples most poorest quarters where the daily lives of the Neopolitans unfold like a play. Sometimes comical, sometimes tragic, but never boring. You'll discover the true soul of the city as you explore the "hidden Napoli ". Visit the elaborately decorated Baroque church of Gesu Nuovo which is considered to be the historic heart of the city of Naples .
At the Cappella Sansevero, richly decorated in Rococo style we'll visit the crypt of the church where anatomical experiments conducted by a local noble man in the 18th Century are gruesomely displayed. Emerging back in to the labyrinth of streets and alleyways of the Spaccanapoli, pause to enjoy Napoli 's best espresso and local pastries at one of city's most popular establishments.
Living under the shadow of Vesuvius, the Neopolitans are very religious people and are particularly found of the city's patron saint San Gennaro. While visiting the Duomo, you'll hear of the miracle that takes place in Naples every year on the saints birthday when his dried blood contained within sealed vials liquifies as the devout Neopolitans offer prayers to his memory.
Another option for your transfer tour might be a stop at Vesuvius en route between Rome & the Amalfi Coast. PLEASE NOTE YOUR PREFERRED STOPOVER POINT FOR YOUR ROME AMALFI COAST TRANSFER IN THE COMMENTS FIELD ON THE BOOKING FORM.
