Well today was spent trying to figure out the transportation system here in Naples. We tried to find long term tickets to no avail, although the tourist information office and the web sit for the transportation company indicated that they should be available. After must frustration we decided that our best bet is going to be a combination of single use and all day tickets, depending on what we are doing. The bus system is really hard to understand so we have decided that our best, and least confusing option, will be to use the Metro system. You don't see as much but, based on a google search of how to get from one spot to the other, the buses will almost always take longer than walking! And that is if there are no traffic delays of any type.
I think what will be our best option is to pick a Metro station to get off at and explore the area around it. It seems like there are one or two major attractions near most Metro stops.
I have brought my GPS with me and it is updated with maps of the city, so that should make it easier to find our way, and not get lost (although GPS's have been known to take people off the track). We will see how it goes.
More walking around done today, exploring nooks and cranny's, there are lots of them. We have decided that when we explore, we will walk down wherever we plan to go and catch a Metro line back to a stop above the apartment - that ways it's downhill both ways!! Smart, huh!!
