Voted 10/10 | I think the sections Red Tape through Mountain Conditions could be written so as to be more respectful and charitable toward the Neapolitans. When the southern Appalachians were done, no where was it suggested that the inhabitants stereotypically behaved as in the film Deliverance nor that the police were buffoons such as portrayed inSmokey and the Bandit. | |

Hasn't voted | Just got back from Germany, see that people are taking the piss at me. A few things i've got to say about this: First, i'm NOT attacking Italy/Italians with those comments. Most experiences i've had with Italians are very good, and Italy is a beautiful country. BUT, everything seems to be mismanaged in Naples/Vesuvio. Imagine driving for more than 3 hours one-way, only to find out that you have to drive all the way up to a parking lot at 980 meters to park, instead of starting out low, because for no apparent reason they've closed off all the trails. Then they charge you to park your car on the shoulder of the road, charge you 6,50 per person to walk up a trail to the crater rim, and that's it. Moni mentioned something about some drunken marines or so, who fell into the crater, which might be a reason to limit access to the crater rim, but why the trail network on the lower slopes???? And they tell a lot of crap about the volcano showing signs of activity lately, this being the reason of the closures, but the observatory (whom i'm more likely to believe) says the exact opposite. So yeah, i tried to be funny with some stuff, which i'm willing to change (like the possibility to bribe park rangers), some stuff is deadly serious, which i'm NOT willing to change (Public transport running way off schedule) But, if i'm going to change anything which i tried to be funny with, i am going to mention the mismanagement of the park in a more serious way. Not to be derogratory of Naples in any way, but people do need to know what they're getting into when they're planning a day of hiking in the area. Clint. | |

Hasn't voted | The Naples subway, besides being excessively crowded at some times, generally runs on time, So does the Circumvesuviana, but that's a tourist railway. Trenitalia and the bus system in Naples is different, though. Public transport in this region is dirt cheap, the way it should be, so that's definately a plus. | |
