Naples
Naples is the hub from which most luxury yachts cruising the Amalfi region choose to begin. Naples was named to mean "new city" and was originally founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. Vesuvius, and beneath it the ancient city of Pompeii that was destroyed during the eruption of 79AD, are must do day trips whilst in the region. Yachts most commonly berth in Sanazzaro although the commercial port has recently opened up a section for yachts, which is right in the centre of town.
