Naples (Napoli) — the heart of southern Italy, the birthplace of pizza and one of the liveliest cities on the Mediterranean. Mount Vesuvius looms above it, with the ruins of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast nearby. Naples's historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Let's see how to reach Naples from Tbilisi and what to see there.
✈️ Flights from Tbilisi
- There's no direct flight to Naples Airport (NAP) from Tbilisi — the route requires a connection
- Turkish Airlines: TBS → Istanbul (IST) → NAP, about 7-9 h total
- Alternative: fly into Rome (FCO) and continue by train — Naples is about 1 h away by high-speed rail
- Ticket price: $290-590 round trip, depending on the season

🛂 Visa — Schengen + ETIAS
Italy is a Schengen member. Georgian citizens with a biometric passport can enter visa-free under the 90/180-day rule.
Once ETIAS launches (second half of 2026), you'll need a €7 online authorization valid for 3 years. Details in the ETIAS 2026 article and the Schengen visa guide.
📅 The best season in Naples
- April-June: 18-26°C, warm and sunny — the best time
- September-October: the sea is still warm, fewer crowds
- July-August: 30°C+, hot and crowded
- November-March: 8-15°C, mild winter; flights and hotels are cheapest

💶 Budget and conclusion
Naples is cheaper than northern Italy. A 3* hotel is $50-100/night; a pizza at a real pizzeria $6-10; a museum ticket $11-17. Budget alternatives — a hostel ($17-35) and street food.
3-4 days is enough for the city plus one day trip (Pompeii or Capri). Naples pairs perfectly with a Rome or Florence itinerary. To compare flights, use the Travel365 flight search.
