Italy Trip - Day 2 - 4/8/26…read more When we arrived we walked directly off the plane and down a staircase when getting off the plane (just like the Lovable Lads of Liverpool) and directly into a crammed bus. Probably unnecessary, but i'm already thinking about pickpockets (which in my defense i'm always watching out for that, especially in big cities and on or near public transit - but now even more so). They drive us about 200 yards (would've been faster to walk than wait so long, but maybe that's a safety hazard, which is something they don't seem to care about here much otherwise, which is kind of refreshing in a weird way). We were then herded into the airport, while i watched a guy who was far behind us, skip past me and another 50 people or so. Another ten people that were behind me also broke in front of me. He must've had a hankering for pizza. -------------------------------------- Outside there was a line for citizens and a line for "all passports" or "tutti i" passports ("tutti" being "all" in italian? just don't call me "tutti frutti" okay?). Once we get inside the lines disappear, so it seemed kind of pointless to have us enter in lines outside and then come inside into just one big line again. That's not how we do in America. There then seems to be three lines - one for locals, and one for U.S. and or English speaking, and another for i don't what for - maybe for people that hate the "grind". There should have just been two groups: the people who's toilets flush and the water goes clockwise, and the other for peoples who's water flushes and goes counter clockwise (it's a joke, i know it's a myth, but they should do it anyway). When we walked up they asked if we were from the U.K. and although there's a lot of ugly / ugly toothed people from there i kind of took it as a compliment that we didn't scream "American" to them. Maybe i am a little cultured? After that we stop at a bathroom and i accidentally go into the family bathroom painted like a child's bathroom with airplane landing strip and one little room with two toilets.

Naples, Italy. The most 'freeform airport' I've experienced. I got to use NAP 2x, inbound…read morefrom IST, and outbound. The first visit was 12/1/24 during rush hour and it's very busy. Most flights are boarded outdoors as NAP is smaller relative to the number of flights serviced daily. The second was my return flight home via IST. Both times however I was able to use the small tech room to charge my electronics via 8 wall outlets. There are many charge stations throughout the waiting area and they service USB-A connections, much slower. When boarding begins each airline has its own protocols so be aware. Also gate announcements are made 30 min prior to departure times so you want to be super alert. Leave enough time cushion for unforeseen events like overcrowding in boarding areas, a bus to the plane and gate changes. Some users think NAP is chaotic; it can be. The positive to the experiences at NAP is food and clothes and sundries shopping: there are top notch stores, panettone even a Venchi outpost. The panini, sfogliatelle (2.3€) and pastries I've tested at NAP are top notch and for 5-7€ a piece, it's a bargain. Even cheaper is coffee, an espresso is 1.5€. Boarding is by zone and love that they board planes from the back seats to front: sensible and convenient. All in all a good average airport with superior food and shopping. End of Yelp.

Beware. This airline offers economical fares…read more But........ Their online pre-boarding has glitches that can leave you unable to complete the process and when you arrive to check-in at the airport they have a fine for not completing that online process that nearly doubles your fare. :-( Then to add insult to injury their flight was over 2 hours late in leaving. And we missed our connecting flight!

My daughter and I were traveling from Naples to Switzerland(we were headed for Bern) and w had…read morebooked this airline before leaving America. We managed to get on the airline without any extra baggage charges by putting bags in bags and wearing all of our clothes so that we had not one extra bag in our hands. Meanwhile another gentleman trying to board the plane decided it best to break the handles off of his suitcase so that it would fit inside the box they make you check your bag in for size, while they let other larger bags through. He was not a happy camper. This really actually makes all of the other passengers uncomfortable. If his handles are all that make his bag too big, it is softsided so the bag is going to fit in the cargo hold overhead, which is after all the purpose of the rule. They should have given him a pass in my opinion. Now he had a suitcase he was going to have to carry in his hands. I hope he was on his way home. Not really the purpose of my story here. Let me get to it. So the flight is fairly uneventful if not pleasant. I have figured out that if you are going to fly in Europe, plan ahead. Get yourself hydrated before you step on that plane unless you want to end up in the hospital. What is considered an essential of life here in the states costs you 4.00 bucks on the plane. I diverge again. So we are coming in for a landing, we bank hard and fast, too fast in my opinion. We are coming in we are maybe 200 feet from the ground and no oops up we go again. Of course no one knows what the hell is happening. They come on the intercom and say something in German and Italian then finally in English they say Don't worry it's completely normal. We spend another 20 minutes in a fly around and land safely. Everyone breaths a sigh of relief. That was the end of our trip. We both decided from that point that it was simply not worth getting on another low budget airline which we had planned from Switzerland to spain and then to france. We took the train to Paris and caught an early plane home. Not easy. Thanks easyjet! You suck!

Our driver-guide, Evgenio, was outstanding. From the moment he picked us up in Naples, he was kind, polite, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Throughout the day, he shared interesting information about each destination, making the journey both enjoyable and informative. Evgenio also made excellent recommendations, including a fantastic restaurant for lunch and a boat tour in Amalfi, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. His local knowledge really enhanced our experience and helped us make the most of our time. What truly set him apart was his friendly personality. He kept the tour entertaining with great music and conversation, creating such a relaxed atmosphere that it felt like we had known him for years. The long day flew by thanks to his enthusiasm and sense of humor. We highly recommend this tour and especially Evgenio to anyone visiting the Naples and Amalfi Coast area. He played a huge part in making our day unforgettable. Thank you, Evgenio, for an amazing experience!

Took tour of Pompeii & Vesuvius w/ lunch. Not a great start as we fought the masses off our cruise…read moreto find our tour... every guide had a paper held up w/ names except ours. We asked around & then found our guy (Luka). He had the name of tour on paper but wasn't holding it up. We had to wait for lates & pick up non cruisers elsewhere as well.. so a couple of delays. Bus was filled - every seat, & he did an info session in broken English, so we got over half the story. We had a few other tours in 3 other countries w/ excellent English speakers. The tour took us to Pompeii but first we had a detour through an art gallery to "visit restrooms" but really it was a sales pitch for their jewelry/art. The tour was w/ a different guide, thomaso, who was good but a bit of language barrier. It was about 2 hrs guided. Then we wasted about 30 mins waiting for restroom/snack break before walking to bus for our lunch stop. We ate at Kona restaurant about halfway up the volcano with I'm amazing view. We were told a light lunch which turned surprisingly into a huge 6 course meal. Included a drink, bread, a four appetizer sampler, slice of pizza, a bowl of pasta, and a piece of cake. All the food was real good and the servers were nice... But it did take well over an hour to eat. We finished up the rest of the way to the top of the volcano. It was a pretty serious hike from the parking area to the rim. It was self-guided with no tour guide. There were gift shops & food at the top as well!! But once you get to the top, the panoramas were insane and the inside view was cool. We agreed as a group to cut the mountain visit an hour short so we can get back to the port by 4 PM still, since long lunch and our other delays pushed the whole tour off schedule. The overall tour was pretty good, the bus was nice and the three stops were great. it could be a little better organized/ arranged to speed things up. Also if the guides' English was better that would've helped to make it 5 stars.

We felt like we received a "mini" tour of the area on our ride from the train station. They are from the area and are very knowledgeable. They were so pleasant and professional! We loved them so much that we used them our entire stay! We also used them for a tour of the Amalfi Coast which was fantastic! We had a big group (11) and it was never a problem getting transportation. Very quick to respond. I highly recommend using them if you will be traveling in the area! They made us feel like family! Grazie mille, Enrica and Salvatore!
