Monolocale in Napoli

Mount Vesuvius (Vesuvio) is within the 15 km radius and forms the local volcanic high ground. The Gulf of Naples (Bay of Naples) and the Neapolitan coastline are the nearest seafront. The Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio (Vesuvius National Park) covers parts of the volcano inside the local area. The Roman archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum (Ercolano) lie within about 15 km and are part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the area. The cluster sits inside the built-up suburban area of the Naples metropolitan region; Naples is the nearest city of size and provides regional services, major rail links and Naples International Airport. Nearby towns on Vesuvius' lower slopes include Ercolano, Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata, which have coastal access and local industry. There are no alpine ski lifts in the immediate area; mountain skiing is in the Apennines well beyond the 15 km radius.
