The ancient heart of the city has been inhabited since the 6th century BC by the Greeks, who designed its initial significant urban structure that persists to this day. Most of the historical relics are integrated into modern construction or hidden beneath the earth. With the assistance of your tour guide, a layered district reflecting almost 3000 years of human happenings will be revealed. The pedestrian-friendly areas are brimming with quaint shops and studios, cafes and restaurants, performing street artists, and vendors that draw in locals and tourists alike each day. Amidst this backdrop, sampling the local cuisine is an indispensable experience. You’ll get to taste: the Neapolitan pizza, which is a part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage, in either its fried or folded version; the sfogliatella, a crispy pastry stuffed with a base of ricotta cheese or alternatively, the babà, a cake that was created in Poland in 1725; Neapolitan style espresso coffee; and limoncello, a popular liqueur from the Sorrento and Amalfi coast.
