Clyde Malta - 07-Dec-18

I visited this WHS in November 2018. Although it is one of the biggest and mostly populated cities in Italy, it seems to attract much less people apart from the cruise liner passengers and most of them head straight to the Amalfi Coast or Pompeii and allow less (if any) time to this historic city.

It seems to have too much of a bad reputation when compared to other cities in Italy too. I'm not saying that it doesn't have its problems, but I did not encounter any extraordinary problems even though I went around with my camera at night, I drove in and out of the city and I parked my car both outdoors and indoors.

Pompei

Clyde Malta - 05-Dec-18

I visited this WHS in November 2018 focusing on 2 locations out of the main 3 inscribed, namely Pompeii and Villa di Poppea di Oplonti. I'll definitely visit Ercolano in the near future as the I have no doubt that it is on par with the 2 locations I visited which were top WHS.

I allowed a full day for Pompeii and parked next to the entrance/exit at Camping Zeus. Even though Pompeii is always visited by tour groups with their infamous antenna rod and all kinds of soft toys, the site is so big and vast that it didn't feel too crowded, especially first thing in the morning when most would be gobbling their included breakfasts. Make sure to pick up a free map from the information office before entering as it's quite confusing otherwise to find your bearings at first.

Costiera Amalfitana

Clyde Malta - 05-Dec-18

I visited this WHS in November 2018 basing myself in Ravello for 3 nights. Even though I enjoy roads with lots of hairpins and heart-stopping curves, I would avoid driving during the peak summer months. Parking, traffic and driving in general can be a nightmare even during Autumn-Winter so I can't imagine what it's like in the summer months.

Even though there are several hiking treks and panoramic viewpoints over the Mediterranean, I very much prefered the ones to be had at the Cinque Terre in Liguria. Overall, from land I found it quite similar to the Cote d'Azur in France. I promised myself to revisit and explore the Costiera Amalfitana by boat which I think could be a better alternative to enjoy this WHS.

Royal Palace at Caserta

Clyde Malta - 04-Dec-18

I visited this WHS in October 2018 and made good use of the underground parking. Its location is quite in the middle of nowhere and perhaps together with its enormous size, this helps to keep the number of visitors down. Then again, apart from its size, it definitely isn't one of Italy's best WHS and certainly not one of the best palaces on the WH list.

Unlike other palaces, you [...]

Cilento and Vallo di Diano

Clyde Malta - 04-Dec-18

I visited this WHS in November 2018 staying overnight in Paestum. The long opening hours even in Autumn mean that you can time your visit in a way that it gets dark by the time you exit the archaeological site of Paestum and the three main temples are lit up (top left and bottom right photos). You can also revisit on the same day if you stay overnight and if you love buffalo mozzarella cheese and mozzarella in general you'll have a feast when in the area.

The Greek temples of Paestum are really striking in size and detail and are comparable to the inscribed ones of Agrigento are other ones in Sicily (Segesta or Selinunte). Unlike, Agrigento you can still walk 'inside' the roofless temples to get a closer look at the architecture
