A little diversion from Puglia (Apulia in English) will bring you in about 3 hours to the beautiful city of Naples on the West coast... Yes, think smaller, a coast to coast in 3 hours!!

Antonia has lived more than a year in Naples and has a suggestion for you. This is not like any city you have ever visited, this is Naples! And only one rule governs it: either you love it, or you die!
