    In my opinion, the most interesting "Naples underground" tour you can do, especially after visiting Pompeii and/or Herculaneum! It's a 30-40 minute tour and you don't feel rushed as it is not a very big site. Incredibly well preserved even from the Greek era. Very good guiding and intro video. Would recommend to anyone interested in history.

    It is a recently opened historical site that was found under the buildings. It is not yet well known by tourists so it is less frequented. Although, we did not book an appointment, they suggest to do so. As it is a private owned site, they have limitations and cannot move forward with the digging easily, so the size of the explored area is finite. It is worth the guided visit for 14 EUR and hopefully they can collect enough fundings to continue in revealing the secret history of Neapolis, the Hellenistic culture of the city. It is underground so you might need a sweater/jacket, but we were fine without it.
