๐ ๐ถ️The Esoteric, Mystery & Underground Route If you love history, legends, and the "darker" side of the city.

⭐Pignasecca Market: If you want chaotic, loud, and colorful Naples, come here. It’s the oldest outdoor market. Grab some fried fish (cuoppo) and just watch the world go by. ๐https://maps.app.goo.gl/DecQgooEpz2542Jw5
⭐Kayak at Gaiola: If you want to experience the sea without the crowds, head to Posillipo and rent a kayak near the Gaiola Underwater Park. It’s a completely different side of the city. ๐ถ https://kayaknapoli.com/
