Near Procida
Ischia 11 km
A volcanic island at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples, about 30 kilometres from the city, and the largest of the Phlegraean Islands. Greek traders settled here very early, calling it Pithekoussai, and the island is now known for its hot springs and thermal gardens.
Castel dell'Ovo 21 km
A seafront castle on the old island of Megaride, now joined to the shore, on the Gulf of Naples. Its name, the Egg Castle, comes from a medieval legend that the poet Virgil set a magic egg in its foundations, and that the city's luck rests on it staying whole.
Naples National Archaeological Museum 22 km
One of Italy's great archaeological museums, holding Greek, Roman and Renaissance works and above all finds from Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae. Mosaics, frescoes and statues from the buried towns fill its rooms, among them the Alexander Mosaic from the House of the Faun.
Cappella Sansevero 22 km
A family chapel in the historic centre of Naples, properly the Chapel of Santa Maria della Pietà, filled with Rococo art by leading 18th-century artists. At its centre lies Giuseppe Sanmartino's Veiled Christ, a marble figure under a shroud so fine it looks like cloth.
Blue Grotto 27 km
A sea cave on the coast of Capri, entered by small rowing boat through a low opening in the cliff. Sunlight passing through an underwater gap below lights the water an electric blue, and the cave runs about 50 metres into the rock.
Herculaneum 28 km
A Roman seaside town in modern Ercolano, buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD under deep volcanic deposits. Because of that, wooden beams, furniture and upper floors survived here that were lost at Pompeii, so the site is smaller but often better preserved.
Capri 30 km
An island off the Sorrento Peninsula on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, a resort since the days of the Roman Republic. Limestone cliffs, the Faraglioni sea stacks and the hilltop town of Anacapri draw visitors by ferry from Naples and Sorrento.
Mount Vesuvius 35 km
A volcano on the Gulf of Naples, about 9 kilometres east of the city, its cone partly ringed by the rim of an older and much higher mountain. A path climbs to the edge of the crater, with the whole bay spread out below.
