💡 Tips
- Visit the beaches on weekdays, as locals from Naples tend to crowd the coast during the weekends.
- Rent a car to explore the Phlegraean Fields, as public transport in the area can be infrequent and slow.
- Explore the nearby Cuma Archaeological Park; it is much quieter than Pompeii and gives a unique mystical vibe.
- The sea water is often clearer on the Cuma side compared to the more central resort areas of Licola.
- Look for 'Spiaggia Libera' signs if you want to find public beach areas where you don't have to pay for a sunbed.
🍽 Food
Try this classic seafood pasta dish in any of the restaurants along the coastal road.
Being near Caserta, look for fresh, creamy mozzarella in the local dairy shops (latterie).
Enjoy authentic pizza with its signature thick crust in the local family-run pizzerias.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Find appealing boutiques and local handicrafts in the narrow streets of nearby Pozzuoli.
A large nearby mall first-rate for international brands and Italian fashion staples.
A quiet volcanic crater lake nearby, well-suited for a peaceful walk away from the beach crowds.
Hike through the Mediterranean scrubland and protected dune areas north of the town.
