Marechiaro
Immortalised in a traditional 19th-century Neapolitan song 'Marechiaro' (Clear Sea) by Salvatore di Giacomo and Francesco Paolo Tosti, the little fishing village of Marechiaro is one for die-hard romantics. Complete with its own church, the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Faro, this is the place for candle-lit meals by lapping seas.
To get here, get off the bus on Via Posillipo and head down Via Marechiaro on the left. It takes about 30 minutes on foot.

Porticciolo
Once home to the area's fishing fleet, Mergellina's marina is now a crowd-pulling combo of anchored yachts and kitsch Neapolitan chalets; neon-lit gelaterie and bars right on the water's edge. On summer evenings, families, love-struck teens and the odd worn-out tourist flock here for gelati, cocktails and a spot of double parking.

Spiaggia di Chiaia
Off Via Pizzaco, a steep flight of steps leads down to sand-brushed Spiaggia di Chiaia, one of the island's most beautiful beaches and home to La Conchiglia.

All pink, white and blue, little Marina di Chiaiolella features a yacht-stocked marina, old-school eateries and a languid disposition.
