5 things to do in Naples (and surroundings) in August
"O’ sol, O’ mar, O’ Vesuvij"
August 2nd, 2024
August has finally arrived: holidays, relaxation, and well-deserved rest. If you have stayed in Milan, good luck to you, but if you plan to visit it for the first time, Naples is the quintessential summer city. From the city center to the surrounding province, there is no shortage of things to do, see, eat, and beach. Even if you were born and raised under Parthenope, exploring with new ideas and experiences never hurts. So, if you are interested, here is the list of 5 things to do in Naples (and surroundings) in August, curated by nss.
To Eat - CU.QU.
As suggested in our J'Adore Napoli City Map, one of the menus you must definitely discover in Naples is CU.QU., or cucina di quartiere. In an atmospheric corner of the Spanish quarters, you can sit at the table or take away traditional Neapolitan dishes, secluded from the tourist hustle and bustle of August. Plus, the selection of local wines is unique and surprising.
Vicoletto Berio 12/13, Naples
To Chill - ScrajoMare
In the heart of the Sorrento Peninsula, we find one of the most beloved gems among locals, the ScrajoMare beach. Equipped with a beach and natural thermal springs, ScrajoMare overlooks one of the most beautiful views of the Gulf of Naples, with a breathtaking view of Vesuvius. Perfect for a relaxing day or an aperitif at sunset, the beach is open every day from 08:00 to 19:00.
S.S. Sorrentina 9, Vico Equense (NA)
To Discover - Parco Sommerso di Gaiola
If you are avid listeners of Liberato, you cannot miss the island of Gaiola. The marine paradise of the city of Naples, once an archaeological excavation of the Roman era, has now become a place to explore. The protected marine area offers visitors the opportunity to take tours both by kayak and snorkeling, providing a unique summer experience while learning the history of the Casa degli Spiriti, a monument dating back to the 1st century BC. All excursions can be booked on the official website.
Discesa Gaiola, Naples
To Shop - nss edicola San Pasquale
If you go to Naples, you cannot miss the first nss newsstand in Piazza San Paquale. Opened last December, at nss newsstand you can always find the perfect souvenir of your Neapolitan holidays. From a tote bag for the beach to tank tops to fight the heat of the last days, every item of the new J’Adore Napoli collection is a must-have of the beautiful season.
Piazza San Pasquale, Naples
To Club - Musicology
The historic Neapolitan collective Musicology recently celebrated its eleventh birthday. For an authentically Neapolitan evening, there is no other option than to rely on them: with residents like Napoli Segreta, Club Tasso, and Soul Express Collective, you can dance to the real Neapolitan funk, with a suggestive setting on the crater of Vesuvius. Every Saturday in August, until the early hours of the morning.
