I went into Naples with zero planning or expectations and was pleasantly delighted at how warm and friendly of a place it was. The only things I knew in advance were from reading Roberto Saviano and from my friends in Milan telling me I must try the mozzarella di bufala.
The food was fantastic, weather perfect, and architecture a delight to stroll through. Everything was quite affordable, infrastructure good, and I was amazed at how clean it was (in contrast to what the northern Italians tend to say about the place). Maybe I came at a lucky time, or didn't stay for long enough.
I didn't want to spend all my time in the city and had the thought of seeing Pompeii or Capri - two very different alternatives. My cousin had kindly suggested a third option - a sleepy little island very few visit by the name of Procida. I'm very happy that I listened to her as it was just hidden gem devoid of tourists and full of cute little places to just walk around and soak in the scenery.
I think I'd like to come back here again one day.
