About this tour
This session climbs to Certosa di San Martino, a former monastery on the hill above Naples with one of the widest views over the bay. You see the city open up gradually on the way up, the full sweep of the bay from the terrace, and finally the quiet cloister inside. It links the city below to the calm the monastery was built to offer.
I climb at an easy pace and hold on the view as it changes, then move into the cloister for a contrast in atmosphere. I take questions throughout and send a short note afterwards with the site's history.
This suits anyone who wants an overview of Naples before or after exploring the old centre. It also works well on a clear day, when Vesuvius is visible across the water.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Sfogliatella and Chiaia, worth a slower look.
