Youth Hostel, Naples
Planning a visit to Italy, spending first three nights in Venice. I have
reservations the rest of the time, since I am, for the first time in my life, going on a group tour (but it's a group tour with a group of my friends, so that will probably be OK). We're going four days earlier, spending 3 nights in Naples, 1 night in rome Anyone know about good lodgings (We are considering the HI Youth Hostel) in Naples? -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

It's run by a friendly Australian woman. You'll can find it in the Lonely Planet Italy or online. -Paul -- In success there's a tendency to keep on doing what you were doing. -- Alan Kay |

Thanks. We hostelled a lot in Germany and liked it. Since we will stay in hotels much nicer than we usually travel in the rest of the time, hostelling the first three or four days will be good. -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

WE are now considering also the HI Youth Hostel in Salerno. Maybe 1 night in Naples, 2 in Salerno? We are going to Solofra for one day, trying to figure out our best possibility. Tentativley we are planning Friday - day in Naples, check out my Grandfather's old Neighborhood. Sleep in Naples Saturday - Pompeii, Vesuvius, Herculaeum Sunday - Visit Solofra, go to church in cathedral where my great grandparents were married, see rectory (from outsidede) where great0uncle lived. Monday - Early Train to Rome, be in Rome before noon. Is Naples or Salerno a better place to be SAturday/Sunday nights? Or is there another better place? -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

Why 3 nights in Venice ? 1 day is enough time IMHO why Naples and not Sorrento,amalfi,Capri ?? you are missing prob the best part of Italy by not going there nice hostel in Sorrento that is close to all of the above and close to Pompeii 1 hour from Naples by train I spent 1 month in Italy and visiting Naples for a few hours made me realise that its prob the dodgiest place in Italy to visit , be extremely careful of all your stuff "Juliana L Holm" wrote in message ...

Great place but I don't see much point in staying very long. why Naples and not Sorrento,amalfi,Capri ?? you are missing prob the best part of Italy by not going there Ischia is very nice too, in parts. Especially the hot springs on the cliff face. Beautiful in the middle of Summer. nice hostel in Sorrento that is close to all of the above and close to Pompeii 1 hour from Naples by train I spent 1 month in Italy and visiting Naples for a few hours made me realise that its prob the dodgiest place in Italy to visit , be extremely careful of all your stuff I didn't find Naples nearly as bad as everyone says. However, there isn't much particularly appealing about the place. |
