Capri and Naples Underground

[vjmatty]

How feasible is it to see both Capri and Naples Underground with a 7:00 am to 6:00 pm port visit? And is Naples Underground walkable from the ship?

 

It seems like it would make more sense to go to Capri first, but there is a big gap between 12:10 and 2:50 in return ferry trips.  I also read that there are three parts to the Underground which takes from 1 to 2 hours.... does that sound right?

 

ETA: This would be October 2 of this year.

There are two different underground tours in Naples.  

 

Napoli Sotterranea is located at Vicoletto I San Paolo (the address given on the web site is just around the corner, but confusing because that's not where the entrance is, it's on the Vicoletto), 1.8 km/1.1 miles on foot from the cruise port.

Galleria Borbonica is located at Vico del Grottone, 1.6 km/1 mile on foot from the cruise port.

The Sotterranea tour takes 90 minutes - two hours if you stay with it through the Roman theatre and the Summa Cavea.  The Borbonica tour is about one hour.

 

I think it's too much to try and cram both into one day, but that's me.  It's certainly physically possible to do both.

Unfortunately the 13:40 disappears when I put in the date of October 2, but it looks like it will have to be an all or nothing choice anyway.... I didn't realize there are two different undergrounds.  And, I don't want to rush either location, so maybe it will just depend on the weather.
