Private car transfer from Conca dei Marini to Naples

The trip by car takes around 90 minutes. Starting in Conca dei Marini, you’ll weave in and around seaside towns and mountainous roads as you cut through the Sorrentine Peninsula. Once you reach Mount Vesuvius National Park, the E45 is a straight shot to Naples.

Traveling to multiple points of interest in one day can be a daunting task on Italian public transit, so take advantage of the opportunity with Daytrip to visit these important archeological sites easily and efficiently. Your vacation time is limited, but your itinerary doesn’t have to be!

As you approach Naples, you’ll wonder how two different worlds can exist so close together. The peace and serenity found in Conca dei Marini is quickly replaced with the liveliness of Italy’s third-largest city. Welcome to Naples!

For the Greeks, the Napoli area was the perfect location for a trading post. The Bay of Naples is a naturally protective shape from storms and invasion. It also provides plenty of coastline for a thriving coastal city to dock ships and conduct trade. However, outposts like these don’t go unnoticed by other empires! The Romans, Byzantines, Normans, Sicilians, and Spanish all had a go at conquering Naples in between brief periods of self-rule.

Naples welcomes millions of visitors every year from around Italy and the world. It has all the archeological sites and amazing views of the sea that visitors come for but without the polished kitsch of a city centered purely on tourism. The historical city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but alongside it, you’ll find evidence of repairs that had to be made after Naples experienced the worst WWII bombings in all of Italy.

Naples is the city that keeps bouncing back despite centuries of conflict for control of its coastline. It is destined to be a one-of-a-kind city on your Italian tour.

Be aware of your surroundings

Italy has an incredibly low violent crime rate. It is very safe for families, solo travelers, and women, however, pickpocketing is very common. Keep your belongings in sight at all times, and be extra cautious in crowded areas. Keep only enough cash on you that you need for the day, and use purses and bags with zipper closures.

Buffer in travel time to the airport

Flying is already stressful! If you are traveling to Naples to catch a flight, give yourself extra time to account for possible traffic, road closures, or delays. The recommended arrival time at the airport is 2 hours before your flight, but if you are traveling with small children or a lot of luggage, arrive even earlier.

The National Archaeological Museum

The Farnese Bull is the most famous from the museum’s collection for the intricate detailing and impressive skill needed to bring the marble to life.

Underground Naples

Much like an Italian lasagna, Naples is made of layers. A tour of Underground Naples puts into perspective the sheer age of the city as you descend under the streets through layers of its past lives. See thousands of years' worth of hidden tunnels and catacombs, all under the feet of regular pedestrians!

The Catacombs of San Gennaro are especially popular, so book your tickets before arriving in Naples to avoid long wait times. This activity is perfect for escaping the heat of midday during the summer.

Island hopping from Naples

The Greeks knew a good thing when they saw it! Naples is in the perfect spot to travel by boat to the many islands and down the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Take a short ferry ride to Procida, Ischia, and Capri for endless horizons and great beaches.

You can also take a ferry down the Amalfi Coast to towns on the mainland you didn’t get the chance to see during your stay in Conca dei Marini.
