Sightseeing
touristy and cheesy but so enjoyable. head out for a gondola ride. your host will sing to you under the bridges of naples if you request. maybe even if you don't. highly recommend this adventure.

worth it if you like fish. ;) and worth it if you have some free hours. i'd recommend riding a bike along the bike patch to this destination. kinda pricey: $30 spend at least 3 hours
