Naples is the third-largest city in Italy, after Rome and Milan. It is also the regional capital of Campania. Naples is situated in the Gulf of Naples, on the western coast of southern Italy. In 1995, the historic centre of Naples was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. For some people Naples is just a transit stop on their way to the Amalfi Coast, but this city is so much more than that! After living in Naples for a year I fell in love with this city, its streets and the sea, the view of Vesuvius and of course – the food! In this blog post, I’ll tell…

Weekends in Napoli
My husband and I were lucky that we were able to live in Napoli for a year. It is honestly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. What we loved most are weekends in Napoli. How did we spend our days? If we didn’t go out of Napoli for a drive in the Amalfi coast, visiting Pompeii or going for lunch in Positano, we enjoyed staying in the city. We used to wake up around 9, have breakfast and our first coffee of the day at home. After that we would leave the apartment. Before going out my husband would ask – What are we gonna eat for…
