Castel dell'Ovo

Reviewed By PaulM569 - Derby, United Kingdom

There are some excellent views across the Bay of Naples to Vesuvius from here including the quaint Borgo Marinari. There is also a short description of the history of the site for those who are interested. Entry is free. I particularly liked the “tame” seagull who must have featured in a thousand selfies and has worked out that all (s)he has to do is stand there and 1 in 20 people will feed her/him. Why fly for food when the food will fly to you?

Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano

Reviewed By N7303YWsara_a

It was one of the best things to do in Maiori. Plus, have you ever met the owner of a castle? Here, you will find the very owner, and adorable sir who will guide you personally all over the castle and telling amazing stories of the historic things you find in each room of the castle. If you go to Maiori, you have to visit the castle. P.S. better to go during the sunset, because sun can be hard during the day. It takes 30 minutes or less to go up, and 30 to 45 minutes to walk around the castle. I started at 18:00 and before 20:00 I was down in the city again.

You can walk from the town to this castle along a promenade, there is an elevator to take you part way up and the views are stunning and it is a very interesting place to visit, you need about three hours there
