Posillipo

Marechiaro

A tiny fishing borgo below Posillipo where time seems to slow – walk down Via Marechiaro and the city melts away into a peaceful, almost-island calm of sea views and swimming off tufa-stone lidos. Splurge on a seafood dinner over the water. Tip: find the marble plaque to the classic Neapolitan song ‘A Marechiaro’ with its famous window.

Vomero

Mercatino di Antignano

One of Naples’s most-loved local markets, up in Vomero – less touristy but packed with stalls of food, clothes and accessories at bargain prices, complete with folkloric shouting vendors. Great for shoes especially. It’s a market, so mind your belongings and don’t get talked into ‘leather’ that’s plastic.

Agnano

The Flea Market of Agnano

A sprawling Sunday flea market by the Agnano racecourse where, it’s said, the whole universe turns up for sale – emptied cellars, Murano glass, old clocks, Eastern-bloc relics and endless curios. Worth it just to marvel at the strange character of the objects. Watch your belongings.
