The seaside district west along the bay — a fishing harbour, a seafront promenade, gelaterias and the leafy heights of Posillipo above, with the best sunset views over the bay to Vesuvius. Relaxed, scenic and residential, further from the sights but on the water, with ferries to the islands nearby; a mellow, bayside base.
