Naples

Looking to fly into Naples and visit Pompeii before cruise out of Civitavecchia. Any good hotel recommendations?

There are not any really good hotels in Naples--so we usually only stay overnight. The train to Pompeii runs on to Sorrento--which has many excellent hotels--I would stay there and take to short train ride to Pompeii.

How ridiculous - a major city for both business and leisure travel, of course there are wonderful hotels and fabulous restaurants in Naples.

 

For Americans afraid of anything unfamiliar there's even a beautiful Marriott property right in the historic center:  https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/napbr-renaissance-naples-hotel-mediterraneo/

 

Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant is quite special.

 

If you stay overnight in Naples you'll also have time to spend a few hours in the archaeology museum after seeing Pompei, where many of the artifacts from the ruins are  housed.

I was scratching my head on that one also...

Also spend a day in Naples. We did the "Street food " tour that I booked through Viator. It was one of my favorite excursions.

We went to a lot of little foodie places that we would never of gone into before. Sometimes when you are in a foreign place and don't know the language it can be a little intimidating. But we ate so much food and different stops through the little streets. I would definitely recommend something like that also. It's fun to immerse yourself in their culture. I did this last summer, and glad I did before the pandemic.

Totally agree!  BTW- the City Sightseeing Bus has a wonderful bus designated for Pompeii.  We caught it near the port. Perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to stay in Naples.

There is so much to see and do in the Naples area,  you are really spoiled.  Also staying in nearby Sorrento is pleasant.
