Question 2

Is it safe to carry cash while exploring Naples and Pompeii?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but avoid flashy jewelry. Keep cash in a secure money belt and use ATMs inside banks to minimize pickpocketing risks in crowded areas.

Arrive at the gates right at opening time (8:30 AM) or visit in the late afternoon to avoid the intense midday heat and large tour groups.

Question 4

Do I need to book restaurant reservations in Positano or Amalfi?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially during peak season (June–August). Popular seaside restaurants fill up days or weeks in advance.

Budget €30–€50 for casual dining (pizza/pasta) and €80+ for upscale seafood dinners. Street food in Naples is very affordable.
