The stops, in order

Santa LuciaWelcome to the Santa Lucia district, one of the most romantic and historical harbors in Naples. Located along the bay, this district was once a fishing village and inspired the world-famous Neapolitan song of the same name. Today, it is an elegant promenade lined with grand Art Deco hotels and renowned fish restaurants, offering breathtaking views of Castel dell'Ovo and Vesuvius in the distance.
Mergellina↳ 2.4 km from the previous stop (straight line)Mergellina is one of the most picturesque districts on the Neapolitan waterfront, nestled at the foot of Posillipo Hill. With its small marina where hydrofoils depart for the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida, Mergellina radiates a permanent holiday atmosphere. The seaside promenade, known as the Lungomare, is the favorite spot for Neapolitans' Sunday strolls and for enjoying the city's best 'gelati' with a sea view.
Parco Virgiliano↳ 4.8 km from the previous stop (straight line)Parco Virgiliano, located at the very tip of Posillipo, offers arguably the most breathtaking panorama in all of Naples. Designed as a scenic park, it overlooks the sea in successive terraces. From here, your gaze can take in the entire Bay of Naples: from Capri to the distant silhouettes of Ischia and Procida, all the way to Vesuvius and the city sprawling at its feet.
