This tour will give you a glimpse of this multicultural city in three different areas, including: a drive along the seaside for a view of the whole bay from Posillipo and Mergellina; a stroll through the opulent monumental district enclosing Plebiscito square, Royal Palace and San Carlo Theater; a walk along Spaccanapoli, the oldest urban settlement of Greek origins. Ancient Greek philosopher Homer, in his epic poem Odyssey tells the story of Ulysses and his travels to the Italian coasts. When approaching these waters he encountered the mermaids who tried to attract the sailors into the sea with their enchanting singing, for later killing them. Ulysses, warned already by sorceress Circe, put wax earplugs to his fellow seamen and tied himself up to the ship’s mast, in order to resist the attractive creatures: one of these, the mermaid Parthenope landed on the little island of Megaride, where it stands the Castle dell’Ovo. From here the other name for Napoli, Partenope.
