I was just in Naples this August and found it just as you did - not as "pretty" as say Florence or Rome, but so vibrant in all its chaos. Your photos are gorgeous - I am so glad to have found your blog!

Spent about a week in Naples a couple of years ago as part of a two week trip to Campania. Great city, went about this time of year and for the locals it was cold (they had on sweaters and down vests). I was sweltering and trying not to look like a tourist.

Fresh almost warm sfogliattas with espresso first thing in the morning outside one of the markets. Ah, the memories.
Highly recommend touring Campania as well.

Napoli may be a bit rough around the edges, but where else can you get pizza fritta? Cin Cin

I had to go to Naples about 5 years ago for work. I really wish I'd more time to tour around - Pompeii, Vesuvius, the city itself - and more of that great pizza. At a road-side restaurant near my hotel I had one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. They called it the Vesuvius: it had a crust on top that bulged up in the middle like a volcano!
I recommend the Archaeological Museum. Buy an extra ticket to get into the "erotic" display. :)
